I wanted to show you a simple yet very effective strategy that you can use for your Facebook Profile to help increase visibility of your business.
If you’re like me you’ve likely networked your Facebook Profile with not only real friends and relatives, but likely people you do business with as well.
So in order to maximize your profile for business you want to make sure that you have a link going to your Facebook Page placed in the most valuable piece of real estate on your Facebook Profile. What I mean is this area right at the top of your Facebook Profile. Now what you want to happen is that this link in the Works At area should be a direct link to your Facebook Page, or business Page. The problem is that when Facebook changed the Profile Page, this link goes to a default page which doesn’t do you much good.

Almost three years ago I was contacted to do a web design in Hamilton Ontario area by Garage Door Canada for their new, and not yet opened, Smilthville Ontario business. This was an interesting challenge since the owner, Walt Kulakowsky, would be counting on his new website to produce most of the initial business for his Garage Door Showroom.
We did some very extensive keyword research on the garage door business locally, developed a large keyword list, and found several online opportunities in the Niagara, Hamilton area. As usual the competition online had not done proper SEO to their websites so we knew what had to be done to beat them in the search engines.
Next we created the website around the keyword research and a new Hamilton Ontario web design was born. We optimized each page of the website to ensure that we would get traffic from several relevant keywords. We also included a blog so that Walt could easily create new content and further target important keywords.
When the website was completed we began to work on the “off-page” SEO. We used blogs and articles but the major traffic generator we used for this site was video. By optimizing the videos, blogs, and articles properly we ended up with several prominent Google listings for many of Garage Door Canada’s important keywords and phrases.
Here’s an example;
In the first year of operation Walt told me that the majority of his entire business could be related to his website. Almost two years later he tells me that much of his business can be attributed to his online presence.
Walt understands that SEO is not a one time effort but an ongoing practice. As a result we continue to support the Garage Door Canada website, watch their rankings, and ensure that the valuable leads from their website continue.
Oh, by the way…if you’re looking for a great garage door and equally great, friendly service, visit Garage Door Canada and tell Walt I sent you.
If you too would like a powerful website design in the Hamilton, Niagara area, or anywhere else for that matter, please give us a call.
