It’s hard to anticipate what’s on the horizon during a global pandemic. There’s obviously fear and panic across businesses, people in general are scared.

Adaptability Is Key

Despite the challenge, it’s good to think that there are opportunities in disasters. To be a more resilient business, one must be able to adapt quickly and be creative. For firms who typically handle their operations face-to-face, adapting to the digital era might mean having to establish online platforms for your brand, or exploring social media to sustain engagement within your target market.

Yay! We’re featured in the NZ herald for the amazing website we did with Travel and Cruise HQ. Now that’s just awesome news!

Adam Worley of 1768degrees.com said, "when I heard the plight of local Travel and Cruise expert Shannell Christmas, I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. To open a business at any time is daunting, but to see your sector decimated following a global pandemic would be heartbreaking and troubling. Knowing that our team could help and offer a glimmer of hope meant I had to offer to rebuild her site for FREE! We took the same love and care as we would with any client, and we soon realised that to pivot her business we needed to build out her site from our anticipated plan to cover all areas of NZ. We are delighted Shannell was happy.”

While we can’t predict when the world economy will recover, we do know the best approach to take, is to GROW YOUR BUSINESS throughout these uncertain times. 

Obviously, businesses that have gone digital are adapting to the crisis better compared to their brick and mortar counterparts BUT not all companies with online presence flourish. 

Why? 

Being online is nothing if nobody finds you on their chosen search engine. The power of search is not only amazing but has proven time and again that it can consistently drive more traffic to your website, increase engagement, and generate more sales.

Our search engine optimisation strategies deliver relevant traffic that leads to increasing conversions for long-term results. Think of it this way:

Travellers begin trip planning with a search engine. They search to for accommodation, cheap flights, activities, and most of all –for price comparisons. If your business is not on the first page of the search results, how will you be able to at least land in their initial list and not be relegated to competing on price?

It shouldn’t be a question of “how to be there”, but a question of when. Now is the time to get on the search and to begin getting more customers!

How to Keep your Kids and Teens Safe Online: 4 Mobile Apps Parents Should Watch Out For
These days, it’s next to impossible to keep kids off the internet. Fact is, you can’t keep an eye on them all day either. Whether you like it or not, teens and kids will always find a way to get online.

It can be worrying for parents, there’s a lot to be alarmed about and it’s not just exposure to inappropriate texts and videos, but also the dangers of online predators.

Yet, the internet is ubiquitous, we need it for many everyday things from learning, shopping and communicating. We can only hope when young people are online they have it in themselves to make good decisions about what they choose to see, visit and interact on the internet.

Besides, isn’t that what good parenting is all about? Guiding one’s offspring to make better choices instead of limiting their play time or their innate curiosity.

Truth is, you can’t rely on age restrictions to keep your child off an app or social media site. There are many kids out there with active Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Here’s the thing, as a parent, do everything you can to protect your kids online. Parental involvement decreases online risks for children.

Here are some tips you can do to create a safe space for your kids online:

While You Shop for SEO Experts

In your journey to find an SEO expert, you’ll come across a lot of practically sound advice but without doubt you'll come across many myths too. Our advice -- be careful, there are SEO tricks that will wipe out your business instead of boosting it. The web is a dynamic platform and search engine optimisation is evolving. While the search engines continue to tweak their algorithms to give users the most relevant search results, some SEO professionals tend to game the search engines through unethical tactics. and trial and error. We simply don’t do that.

Every single SEO technique we do, in every change we implement we are guided with one question --Would that actually benefit the end-user (target market) in any way? Besides, the reason we want to be visible on search is to be found by real people and not by search bots or any machines.

Nobody knows exactly how search engines work, unless you are Larry Page (Co Founder of Google) - not even the so-called experts in the field. Some do educated guesswork, and sadly some of them poorly understand the search engines' statements.

We don’t claim expertise in understanding the algorithms, but our clients’ CONVERSION rates speak about our SEO. We work together with our clients in achieving phenomenal long-term results that make their brand more than just survive, but continue to grow and flourish regardless of the market they are in.

Importantly, good results don’t come easily or quickly - if they did it would be done by everyone. But if done the right way, your website will remain on its top search position, despite the continuing algorithm updates.

When conversions begin to pour, client says “Like the pandemic, we didn’t see it coming,” Read our client testimonials and case studies for data that back up our statements and to see how our clients rave about our accomplishments.
