Local SEO needs to be a top priority of every business along with numerous other aspects of search engine optimization, reports TillerWebDesign.com

Des Moines, IA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/07/2016 -- Local SEO continues to increase in importance, with seoClarity declaring that local search engine results reach the number one spot on the search engines 93 percent of the time. This wasn't the case in the past, when only 25 percent of number one listings were local. For this reason, every business needs to have a local presence, as this gives the company a competitive edge. Local search works together with voice and mobile search to make it easy for businesses to be found. Google's Pigeon update, one that many aren't overly familiar with, shows the site's commitment to local SEO.

"Local SEO requires that a company focus on choosing the right keywords, app integration and up-to-date information in Google Maps, among other things. Tiller Media Group, a Web Design Des Moines company, understands the importance of this for companies wishing to make their name in a global market. Customers on the go turn to their mobile device for information on local businesses that can provide what they need. With the help of local SEO, every business can ensure they are found when a customer wants what they sell," Steve Hudspeth, president and CEO of Tiller Media Group, explains.

Information released in May 2013 shows that 85 percent of individuals make use of the Internet on a daily basis. This includes the use of the web for email and other purposes, thus businesses should never discount the importance of Iowa SEO when it comes to brand visibility. When possible, companies should try to show up multiple times in the first page of the search results. Websites need to accomplish numerous goals in order to be effective, however.

"In addition to helping a business acquire new customers and generate leads, the website needs to provide consistent branding and lower sales resistance. To achieve these goals, companies need to take many critical steps when creating their Internet strategy. Tiller Media Group walks their clients through these steps to ensure none are overlooked and that a complete and proven marketing strategy is implemented," Hudspeth continues.

Going local shouldn't be the sole objective of businesses in 2016. When creating content for a site, companies need to focus on using relevant terms, adding the keyword to internal links, the word count of the content and more. The mobile marketing strategy needs to be expanded on, as people are using their mobile devices more and more, and social media must be an emphasis.

"Tiller Media Group helps clients with these and numerous other tasks to move their website up in the search engines. From web marketing to online reputation management, clients know they can count on us. Contact us today to see how we can help you move your business forward in 2016," Hudspeth states.

Business owners should incorporate these trends into their website to ensure it doesn't become outdated and boring, announces TillerWebDesign.com

Des Moines, IA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/07/2015 -- Color is making a comeback and not simply in the fashion and home design industries. Experts believe Web Design Des Moines will focus on bright, bold colors in 2016, as this is a way to enhance visual communication. With the use of different shades of the same color, web designers find they can show relationships between different parts of a site. This is only one of many trends that are anticipated for 2016, and web designers need to keep this in mind when updating sites for their clients.

"Other web design trends a person may wish to incorporate into their site include interactive backgrounds, mobile side bars and compact design. Websites serve as a portal to a business, therefore the business needs to ensure that they are portraying their organization in a positive light. Tired, dated websites need to be updated for this reason, and business owners, in conjunction with their web designer, need to choose those trends which best accurately reflect their brand," Steve Hudspeth, spokesperson for Tiller Web Design, announces.

Web design isn't the only area where changes will be seen in 2016, as Iowa SEO will also undergo some modifications. Business 2 Community announces conversion rate optimization will increase in importance, as it doesn't help to bring customers in if they don't convert, and ocal listings and schema tagging need to be areas of focus, as Google Places/Businesses now shows only three results, rather than seven. Finally, SEO needs to focus on the different stages of the buying process, with different keywords possibly be used for each stage.

"As the search engines become more sophisticated, many businesses struggle to keep up. Search engine updates shouldn't be the sole focus, however, especially when a company only focuses on those updates of one search engine provider. Research shows Bing is one search engine that is taking a share of Google's business, yet many companies only look at Google updates. This needs to change and companies need to focus on SEO trends along with algorithm changes for all search engines to obtain the best results," Hudspeth continues.

Online reputation management, local search and social media are other areas where changes will likely be seen in 2016. The Internet continues to grow and evolve and companies must keep up. Those that fail to do so may find their business suffers as a result.

"Contact Tiller Media Group today for assistance in these and other areas. We are passionate about helping our clients grow and thrive and, to achieve this goal, we work to provide clients with the best resources and information at all times," Hudspeth promises.

Four areas offer the most impact when it comes to website development and design, reports TillerWebDesign.com

Des Moines, IA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2015 -- Squarespace recently published information on the psychology of website design and development and this is information Tiller Media Group, a Web Design Des Moines firm, feels needs to be shared with clients promptly. They identified four areas that affect the mood, experience and attitude of visitors to the site. With this information, clients working with Tiller Web Media will find they obtain better outcomes from the web design and development process.

"The four areas identified by Squarespace are content, color, space and typography. Each influences the visitor in a different way, yet all four work together to create the overall experience. Website designers need to remember this at all times, to ensure a great site is created, and those at Tiller Media do exactly this," Steve Hudspeth, spokesperson for Tiller Media Group, announces.

Content continues to be the most important thing when it comes to a company's website, yet design needs to be factored in also. Visitors to the site want to be able to find the information they are after, and the design process needs to facilitate this. Content should be concise, professional, organized, clean and easy to read. This is where typography comes into play.

"The typography selected influences the visitor by drawing out emotions and feelings. Many individuals never stop to think about the typography on a web page, yet it does make a difference. A simple change can lead to positive results, and an experienced web designer helps companies find the right typography for their business site," Hudspeth continues.

Colors for a website tend to be decided by a company's brand or logo, often referred to as the visual identity. The visual identity typically contains neutral colors along with main colors. In the website, the neutral colors provide a rest for the eyes. The other colors attract attention, with cool colors providing a relaxed, professional feeling and warm ones a soothing sense of creativity. Care must be taken to ensure the right image is being projected with these colors, and space is needed so the visitor doesn't feel overwhelmed or walk away with a negative opinion of the company. The right web designer understands this.

"Obviously Des Moines SEO remains of great importance, as customers need to be able to find a website before they can be influenced by it. Tiller Media Group assists clients in the optimization of sites to ensure they get noticed by the target audience. Contact us today for a free marketing consultation, complete with comprehensive research and an in-depth online marketing services blueprint," Hudspeth recommends.
