Good ranking in search engines is vital. More than 85% of Internet users use search engines when they want to find products and services online. In addition, most visitors will not go past the first three pages of listings. So being listed in those first three pages is a major factor for online success.

When a search engine such as Google indexes your site it follows all the links on your pages to other sites, and it will do the same from other sites to yours. The more links you have to your website the more important it is considered to be.

A good way to increase links to your site is to list yourself on search engine directories and dmoz.

We provide this as a free service as part of our initial build, and additionally list each site on our Portfolio and our Small Business Directory. We can also list your site on UKSuperWeb to give an initial marketing boost.
