Website Design vs. Website Marketing

Strategic online profits strategies often come down to website design vs. website marketing.

As a business owner, which is more important to a profitable business?

Well the truth of the matter is that regardless of how fancy your website design may be, you will never get visitors or customers for your business without achieving a high ranking with the popular search engines. 

A fancy web design is NOT sufficient.    

In order to attract visitors and ultimately customers to your website, you need to get a high search engine ranking. 


Since you are already a business owner, there is an excellent chance that you already have a blog or a website for your business.

The main question is whether or not people can quickly find you when they are searching for your products or services.

Statistically, it has been proven over and over again that 90% of all search engine users never leave page one when they get their search results.

Statistics also show that over 70% of the click throughs are made on the top three search  results that are on the first page.

As a business owner, your objective should be to get those clicks by ensuring that your website gets listed on the first page of the search results; preferably in the first or second position.

If you aren't already getting those clicks, you can bet your competition is.

When it comes to website design vs. website marketing, remember that a gorgeous website on page 3 or 4 of the search engine results will not make you a dime in profits.

Although your website may have been designed by the best in the industry, it it's not at the top of page one of the search engine results page, you need to get it there.

Hire yourself an expert in website marketing and SEO and watch your profits grow.
