Secrets To A Great And Profitable Website: Getting New Business From The Internet
Subtitle - you could be your own worst enemy.
What a shame the dichotomy that exists. From the largest corporation to the self employed, website design briefs are always slanted towards eye appeal for the viewer, information about the company and accommodating a big database back end easily.
Plus with the web design tools so easy to use by any Tom, Dick or Harry, many designers show their expertise design-wise and graphically, rather than guiding clients through marketing and search engine strategies when creating or reworking a website. The dichotomy is that most websites are designed for eye appeal and search engines work on text. On words. This extremely valuable presentation will not only show the top 7 mistakes being made on almost every single website, but will give the solutions too.
How do you get more business from the internet?
- You get people who don’t know you from having a top search engine ranking
- Give people what they want
- Bring your clients and prospects back again with clever email marketing
Your Business Outcomes:
- Exactly what you need to know to get a top Google ranking
- What people want from your website

- All in simple, non-technical everyday language.

Bob Ramsay; General Manager: Australian School and Portrait Laboratory “I found your presentation both stimulating and highly informative. You provided a "real world solution" at little or no cost, to what I am sure is a common problem for most SME.
Listening in on conversations over the weekend your contribution triggered excitement. I noticed many people were still brainstorming ideas on the bus on the way to the airport two days later, fantastic!”
Marita Lam; National Sales Manager; Cruiseco
CRUISECO had the pleasure of welcoming Debbie Mayo-Smith, as a keynote speaker at our Annual National Conference in Adelaide. Debbie was an absolute inspiration to the 150 travel agents and travel industry personnel who were present. Her 2 part seminar, focusing on “how to fight internet induced obsolescence” not only gave the audience a new confidence within themselves, but it also inspired everyone to “get with the times and enhance their marketing strategy now!”
Debbie had spent a lot of time researching the information she provided prior to the Conference – she spoke with many of the travel agents and suppliers. Debbie conducted a pre-conference online survey in order to get the information and data she needed to make her presentation unique and relative to those who attended.
Debbie was rushed off her feet at the end of her presentation. Those travel agents who attended were so revved up, that CRUISECO has invited Debbie Mayo-Smith back to Australia to conduct a series of workshops in a few month’s time.
