GET BETTER GOOGLE RANKING Results WITH affordable WEBSITE SEARCH-ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)

No, you do not have to sign an extensive contract to get results in search rankings! At The Designsmith, we don’t just build beautiful websites—we make sure they’re found by the right people. Our comprehensive SEO (Search Engine Optimization) services are designed to boost your website’s visibility, attract high-intent visitors, and help your business grow online.

Before you sign that contract for high-dollar SEO maintenance we encourage you to let us have a look. There are quite a few things we can do to optimize your website in a way that helps you get ranked in Google, Bing or most any search engine over a very short period of time. If you have one of our websites you'll find a number of fields in the pages administration that allow you to add or adjust keywords and phrases to elevate your standings. Our goal is to set you up with the basics and teach you how to maintain your rankings over time.

With the dawn of AI providing results above the page listings a radical shift in content and tag approach is on the rise, moving the strategy from providing basic information to providing your unique experience and expertise while answering queries beyond the basic information on the subject.

You'll see real results that you can measure yourself as do all of our clients that have setup and followed a few simple guidelines that we suggested - and these same clients were at one time or another almost impossible to find! With our one-stop shop for SEO enhancement we offer a package based on your website in either stand-alone fashion or as an addon to the website development. We will even work out a plan to efficiently build your content to make sure that you are eligible for certain site-specific queries.

We know enough to believe that most of the time your website development doesn't really need to go to extremes and great expense to get good rankings - after all, isn't that what Google's job? To index the websites and put the best answers at the top? Mostly we just help you tell them the right things so you can get found.

And when we're done we'll encourage you with ideas on how to enhance your content, link up with social media, connect with Google Webmaster Tools and Analytics, and a few more common-sense, simple methods to lend all the validity possible to your website rankings. Or we can set up a schedule to review and re-optimize on a regular basis for you!

In today's world a website is such an important marketing tool for a company. I highly recommend The Designsmith to anyone who needs a professional, top quality website. Paul is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. He offers creative ideas to ensure that your site is the most effective it can be.

Carter Hill, Owner - Carter Hill Construction

I got a little nervous when tasked with putting up a complex website for Louisiana's 200th year anniversary and only a week to do it. At the end of the week, the site was to be unveiled at a travel summit. There was no wiggle, just 168 hours and counting down fast. My web team was locked up with projects and did not have the design skill to do the project quickly. I remembered that we had worked quickly and smoothly with Paul at the Designsmith on a website for CISD a few years past. I gave Paul a call and enlisted his assistance. He did the impossible and whipped the site into shape with 24 hours to spare. The Department and the Bicentennial Commission are delighted with the site. Several mentioned how much they enjoyed working with Paul. They were also pleased with his reasonable rates and willingness to work nights and weekends to complete the project. Several of my colleagues have approach me with requests their sites, maintenance, facelifts and hosting be transferred from other web design firms to Paul.

Doug Bryant, IT Director - OLG/DCRT

Paul Miller was wonderful to work with on the redesign of our website. He was easy to work with, professional and completed our job in no time at all.
