Search Engine Optimisation

Over 85% of visitors to web sites arrive as a result of searches conducted through the search engines and so Acorn Web Design believe an important step to any web site design is to ensure that any web site created appears high in the results for relevant searches in the major search engines.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the name given to arranging the content and code of a web site in order to focus on specific words and phrases with a view to improving the placement in the results pages for those terms within the search engines.

Each day more than 100 million searches are carried out through search engines often resulting in thousands, sometimes millions of listings being displayed in the results. Having an attractive web site is not enough - appearing well positioned within the search engines for relevant keywords and phrases is vital to secure visitors to your web site and hence more business to your company.

At Acorn Web Design all our web site designs are created with search engine optimisation as standard.

The Google Search engine powers the results of the majority of all searches performed internationally directly through its own web site and through its partnerships with other major sites. We therefore concentrate our optimisation services on achieving good positioning within Google.
