Phone Book? What’s a Phone Book?

Ask someone who was born in this century what that is, and you are likely to get a blank stare.  Virtually no one uses a phone book anymore!  Most consumers search Google when they need a product or service.  Most small businesses have been sold a WordPress or Control Panel website that will never get to the first page of Google.

So what does that do?  That leaves small business owners forced to pay thousands of dollars in Google Adwords each month to get placement on Google.  If you don’t know what THAT is then Google it.  They would be happy to take your money!  But, do you need to buy them?

Perhaps not, and you certainly don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on them.  Give us a call at Internet Highway.  For one low monthly fee and a start-up cost of less than a new cell phone we will build you a fully optimized desktop/mobile website.  It’s true!  Pick up the phone 24/7 and call (702) 655-2468.

Do You Need Google Adwords?

First of all, what are Google Adwords?  This strange new world has developed from Google’s total dominance of the internet.  What the search engine is saying to your business is that if you want to be on the front page of a search term in your market SOME times then you have to buy that phrase from us…King Google!

You should not feel compelled to buy these phrases to be successful on the internet.  However, they might enhance the success of your business.  The answer may well be to consider how much you should spend on Google Adwords, if anything at all.  That will vary on a case by case and market by market basis.

Let us help you make that decision.  We are Internet Highway.  We still believe in “natural placement”.  If you don’t know what that is then google the term first page natural google placement on a Google search bar.  There we are on page one among millions of results!  We are there because we are the nation’s premier SEO firm.  Find out more by calling (702) 655-2468.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our Families to Yours.

We at Internet Highway have several families that we celebrate with this time of year.  It may seem corny, but we consider all of our loyal clients members of that extended family as well.  As we move into 2018 we are reflecting on the year past and look forward to serving your small business in the new year.

You see, we are dedicated to the survival and growth of small business in America.  That is why we work with dozens of plumbers and auto mechanics, for example.  And that probably explains why we consider them members of our extended family.  No Exxon Mobils around here that’s

for sure!

As you finalize your 2018 advertising budget please give Internet Highway a call to see about the industry’s only desktop mobile website, the amazing SEO that keeps you on the front page of Google, and the consistent social network marketing that converts website traffic into sales.  Give us a call for more details at (702) 655-2468.

Consider Video.

The average internet user has the attention span of a gnat!  We have been programmed to look at something briefly and if it catches our attention we stick with it for a minute.  Most businesses have a website, but how many have an active YouTube video on its front page?  That is an attention getter for sure.

YouTube has a staggering 3 billion views every day!  Think of your videos like mini-websites.  And as a bonus, Google will probably index your content and put those results on the front page of their search results.  The key is, you don’t have to feature a cute cat video to get big-time results as you build rapport with your future customers.

Let’s work together and create a website that features all elements you need to drive quality traffic and convert it into new sales.  At Internet Highway (see the video on www.internet-highway.com) we will build a custom, optimized desktop/mobile website.  It will feature social network marketing as well as YouTube if you wish.  Get started today by calling (702) 655-2468.

Get on the Highway in 2017.

Do you know of any highway that everyone is traveling?  Even if you live in a busy metropolitan area not all Americans are moving along the highways of your fair city.  There is one highway that nearly everyone is traveling.  When they move along this thoroughfare they are usually looking for something.  It is the internet highway, of course.

If your house is not located along that busy “road” you will be missed…or worse, ignored.  How can a business thrive in 2017 without a strong internet presence?  That includes a custom desktop/mobile website that can be navigated on all cell phones and a strong social network to drive traffic to your “front door”.

Your business may survive without a strong website, but it is unlikely to thrive.  The answer is easy and NOT expensive.  Some businesses spend tens of thousands of dollars on a website and thousands a month on social marketing.  Would you like to invest the price of a cell phone and $10 a day for everything that you need?  Well then, start the New Year right by calling Internet Highway at (702) 655-2468.

How was 2016 Business-wise?

Was your business up…was it down?  What are your plans for 2017?  A new administration means new challenges for business in America.  We all know that.  Being paranoid about the future is not productive, that’s for sure.  Let’s dig in together and get ready for a productive 2017.  Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead!

Let’s list our options for business promotion.  Direct mail, radio, television (over the air and cable), newspaper, magazines, local flyers, internet, etc.  What was that last one?  Isn’t that national advertising instead of local?  Not really.  If it is done properly with search engine optimization and local google + submission it is just as local as the newspaper.

Let Internet Highway show you how to “localize” your internet marketing with proper keyword optimization.  With blog writing and local blogging that features local community events.  It is all synergistic as you begin to become a trusted member of your community when people seek your goods and/or services.  Call Internet Highway today at (702) 655-2468.

Bigger is NOT Better.

Don’t kid yourself - this old axiom of bigger is better is not always true.  Take websites for instance.  What do you think the attention span of the average internet user is these days?  Studies show it is about 3 seconds.  That is how much time that you have to impress that individual on their cell phone that you have a message worth paying attention to.

Just ask yourself - do you spend minutes scrolling inches down the pages of a website with which you are not familiar?  The message here is don’t fall in love with yourself.  Photos, history, meaningless text, etc. should be confined to pages within your website, not the homepage itself.  Your friends and family won’t tell you, so you need to hear it from a professional.

Internet Highway Inc. has been designing and optimizing websites for more than a decade all over the United States.  Our clients are mostly attorneys who look at their internet marketing with a jaundiced eye.  Take your web presence seriously and don’t let yourself be lured by a big, bulky web presence.  Call Internet Highway today at (702) 655-2468.

Who Doesn’t Need a Website?

So who among us out there DOES NOT need a website?  There must be people who are wasting their time with a presence on the internet…right?  Are you trying to sell something?  Would you like for people to know who you are for some sort of personal or financial gain?  Do you have a non-profit mission that you are trying to promote?

Word-of-mouth is great, but without a website and social network marketing to back it up you are lost in the wilderness.  And don’t think that just because you have been around for years that your reputation will carry you all the way to the “finish line”.  It might, but it might not.  It is still amazing to see how many people are still ignoring modern technology.

Eighty percent of America is visiting the internet on their cell phones.  Fifty percent of the population on their phones are checking their own social network.  Do you want to be in front of them or not?  If you do then have a website and a social network designed professionally and updated to do exactly that.  Call Internet Highway today at (702) 655-2468 and get started.

What Constitutes a Strong Internet Presence?

It is a question that you should be asking.  Too many people are falling for the “free website” ads on national television.  What does free really mean and how valuable is it?  Like anything else that is free, you get what you “pay for”.  In this particular case you have a “template”.  It is a placeholder on the web like an address or a P.O. Box and not much more.

A web presence in 2016 is quite different from what it used to be.  Your website needs to be custom built.  It needs to fit on every size mobile device since that is where three-quarters of the visits on the internet come from.  And, if you are truly serious about being competitive in your market you need a consistent social network presence managed by a third party that does it for a living.

All of this is vitally important to anyone in business.  You need to hire a professional internet marketing company that specializes in all of these things.  Do yourself a favor and call (702) 655-2468.  That is the number that will change your future on the web.  Internet Highway Inc. is a nationally known internet marketing expert.  Don’t build it yourself.  Trust the professionals at Internet Highway.

Affordable Internet Marketing.

There are still dozens of ways to promote your business in the middle of the second decade of the 21st century.  What is more important than using the internet?  When combined with a strong social media presence the internet is the MOST powerful promotional tool that money can buy.  People constantly overpay for website design.  It is NOT necessary.

While design is important the most valuable tool in the shed is being seen easily by the 80% of the people who use their mobile devices to visit the web.  When you have blogs and tweets and Facebook updates out there the combination is strong and effective.  You should not have a website without a social network.

Outsourcing all of this does not have to be expensive.  Internet Highway a nationally recognized internet marketing company for more than a decade will build a strong foundation for your business.  You will dominate your market online for a handful of dollars per day and building a strong, effective website can cost as little as buying an I-Phone.  Call the nationally recognized internet marketing experts at Internet Highway today at (702) 655-2468.

How are you looking at the Internet?

Remember when we couldn’t wait to get home or to our office to Google something?  There would be a question or a video or something else that you wanted to check out.  You could always do it from your computer at home or (if the boss was not looking) wait until you got to work to check out this or that on the internet.  Oh, those good old days 5 years ago or so!

Today, up to 80% of the people on the web are looking at their cell phone.  Why would you wait to Google something or check your social network on a desktop?  You pull out your iPhone or your mobile device of choice and you do all of the browsing while on the go (careful though, not while driving or walking on a busy street).

How times have changed.  Has your website changed along with them?  It is remarkable how many websites were constructed years ago and now are not desktop AND mobile compatible.  And, even worse there is no social network attached to them.  Get into the 2nd half of the 2nd decade of the 21st century.  Call the Internet Marketing experts at Internet Highway and get up to speed at (702) 655-2468.

The Topping for Your Internet Pizza.

You probably would not eat a pizza without toppings.  You certainly wouldn’t enjoy it without even the cheese.  A cake without icing is pretty dry.  A hot dog without condiments is definitely uninspiring.  It is amazing how many businesses spend money to have a website and then fail to include the one element that helps people find you that don’t already know you…A SOCIAL NETWORK.

If you think that you can reach your potential on the web without a social network in 2016 you are sadly mistaken.  Blogs, tweets, Facebook updates, etc. are essential to introducing yourself to that world.  Please tell me that you are not of the mind that only “kids” check their Facebook and Twitter.  That is not the real world anymore.  Forty percent of Americans are doing just that on their phones every day.

Please discover the importance of having a social network that includes community blogs.  You will not be missed by that ever-growing number of humans who live in the social world.  Contact Internet Highway today and discover how a desktop/mobile website combined with a social network will drive business like never before, all without any extra work on your part.  Call this important phone number (702) 655-2468.

What is Your Internet Budget?

If you expect to be competitive in business in the second half of the second decade of the 21st century, then your internet marketing budget needs to reflect that.  How do you advertise your business?  In today’s world with everyone staring at their cell phone you had better be reaching them on the web.  70% of all visitors to the internet are looking at you on a hand-held device.

Today, you must have a website that can be easily navigated on a cell phone.  You also better be paying attention to social network marketing.  40% of all visits to your website will come from people who are visiting their own Facebook and Twitter and come across yours.  And if you expect to have real credibility, you also had better be publishing blogs.

How much does all of this cost to outsource?  Heaven knows you don’t have time to do it all and run your business effectively.  Companies charge thousands of dollars per month to manage active social networks.  Social network marketing professional Internet Highway does it for hundreds.  See for yourself.  Call Internet Highway today for an effective internet marketing campaign at (702) 655-2468.

Get on the Internet Highway.

Please don’t be fooled by cheap or even free websites.  It seems like every time you turn around someone is advertising these cheap templates.  For one thing, having a website on the internet is as important as having a front door for most business.  There are hundreds of billions of web pages published on Google.  How will you stand above the crowd?

Go back to the basic premise.  The purpose of a website is to MAKE MORE MONEY!  With that in mind, how will you achieve that if no eye traffic ever comes to your site?  You need search engine optimization to be able to be found on keyword searches.  These free template providers skip right over that.  You also need a social network on your website.  If you don’t understand the importance of those two things, Google them.  Read about SEO and social network marketing.  Then Google the cost of managing a social network, and after you pick yourself up from the floor, contact Internet Highway at (702) 655-2468.  You will be amazed that all of this technology does not have to cost tens of thousands of dollars.  Give ‘em a call today!

How to Become a Real Player on the Web with Your Website.

You have one reason to have a website.  That is to make more money!  Why even have one if you are going to ignore it and have it sit on the internet like a postage stamp?  It is important to think about what makes a website a driving force in your business.  Believe me, it is not about how much money that you spend, but the expertise that goes into the work.

First of all your website MUST be seen by everybody.  If your site is difficult to navigate on a cell phone then you have just lost 70% of all visitors.  Using a template website with a control panel that you go in and change whenever you want will not achieve your goals.  Your website needs to be optimized for front page placement on specific keywords.  You also need a strong social network updated consistently by professionals who live in that world.

There is a great deal to consider.  Take some time and search the websites of your competitors in your market.  You will probably discover that you could dominate them with the proper design and social marketing.  Then call the professionals at Internet Highway.  For more than a decade they have helped small businesses, particularly smaller law firms to achieve dominance on a budget.  Give them a call today at (702) 396-0911.

What are the Questions to ask Anyone who calls you about Internet Marketing?

Anyone who owns a website and many who do not but have a business, have been subjected to phone calls and unsolicited emails about internet marketing.  Many of these “sales calls” are generated from call centers spread out throughout the world.  The emails even indicate that they are coming from India or somewhere overseas.

Ask good questions before you decide whom to trust with the important task of making you a strong presence on the web.  Can you speak to the technician who will be doing the work?  Do they outsource any of the work overseas?  Will you be provided with details of your design to match your specifications, or is it merely a template with a control panel that will never achieve placement and be difficult if not impossible to navigate on a cell phone where ¾ of the traffic occurs?

Let me save you the trouble.  Internet Highway has been helping small businesses with their internet marketing for more than a decade.  We feature custom web design, social media that will make you an active member of your online community, and NO LONG-TERM contracts!  Call Internet Highway today and avoid the telemarketers (702) 655-2468.

Affordable Web Design.

Almost anyone can build a website.  Remember that when you decide to have your first website built for your business or are contemplating having a new one built to remain competitive on the web.  Just like so many everyday items, technology has put the tools of website design into millions of hands.  But what are you getting when a “template” website is launched on your behalf.

Does your new website fit perfectly on all size devices?  You need to remember that 70% of all visitors to the internet are looking at their cell phone or hand-held video portal.  How about coding?  Oh yes, how your website is coded will effect whether or not your site will be considered for front page placement.  And what about Google +.  Are you aware that your relationship with Google + now determines placement?

All of these factors and so many more determine how effective your website will be in drawing traffic to it.  And once the traffic arrives will it stay there long enough to attract phone calls and emails?  You have a website for one reason…to make more money!  Keep all of this in mind and call Internet Highway at (702) 396-0911 for more information about how to attain a powerful internet presence.

Robo Calls About Internet Marketing.

It seems to be an epidemic…electronically generated phone calls from a “robot” voice that your website does not comply or is listed with Google, Yahoo, and Bing.  Most of the small business world is being inundated by them.  What about the unsolicited emails from all over the world espousing your lack of compliance regarding your website?

Surely, you must know that the people who would actually do the work on your website and your internet presence would never actually talk with you about your specific needs.  What if a doctor had thousands of nurses make phone calls to solicit business.  Would you feel comfortable putting your future health in that doctor’s hands?

Why not deal with an Internet Marketing company with a 10 year track record of excellence in a proprietary relationship?  You will never talk to anyone at Internet Highway except the owners of the company.  No bicycling from cubicle to cubicle.  No sitting on hold for a technician.  Discover the confidence of knowing that your internet company works only for you and NOT your competitors.  Call Internet Highway today at (702) 655-2468.

A New Year’s Resolution for Your Business

As you enter 2016 take a look at the website that represents your business.  Is it everything you want it to be?  Can it be easily navigated on any size cell phone?  Remember 70% of Americans are looking at your website on their mobile device.  Long gone are the days when people mostly browsed the web for goods and services only on their desktop.

Furthermore, what is your involvement in social network marketing?  Whether you are a person that uses Facebook and Twitter or not you must know the value of reaching out to your potential customers through social media.  Then there is blogging which calls attention to your areas of expertise through creatively written blogs.

All of this is just too important to do yourself or trust to someone without years of experience in the field.  This is where you say to your son-in-law…sorry kid, we need an expert in internet marketing to make sure we grab every customer possible from the web.  So you pick up the phone and dial (702) 396-0911.  That is the number for Internet Highway.  We have been serving small businesses with all of their internet marketing needs for over a decade.  No contracts, no outsourcing…you speak only to an owner of the firm.  Call Internet Highway today and keep that resolution to help your business grow in 2016.

How is your Website Entering 2016?

Certainly by now you realize the importance of a website for your business.  It is your business card…the facade when people are not actually standing in front of your building.  It is your pamphlet about what your business offers.   And, most importantly, it is often the first impression that people will get about your business.

Since 70% of all Americans are visiting the internet on their cell phones you had better be certain that the first impression is one that is positive.  Will they be able to navigate through your entire website and see all of the services that you offer without difficulty?  Check on several different cell phones.  Visit keyword searches in your market to see if your website comes up.  Be honest with yourself.

If you are not 100% proud of what you are seeing , call Internet Highway immediately.  For over a decade we have been helping small businesses stay on a budget by working exclusively within their market.  We build custom websites and optimize them for front page natural placement on Google.  Now, you must have a safe viral social network on your website as well to stay competitive.  Call Internet Highway today at (702) 396-0911.
