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!

I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to create a website!

Thanks for all of your help along the way too!! You are easy to work with and I appreciate your patience while I learned my way around the admin tools.

As the author of the book "Smell The Popcorn: 12 Life-changing Secrets to Pop to the Top," I wanted an updated logo that would really 'POP!' Not only did Paul create a logo for my speaking business but also designed a brand for 'Pop to the Top' concept. I keep getting lots of praise for the new look logos. Paul understood what my business needed more than I did myself. Thanks Paul.

Jerry LePre, Principal - Inspirational Speaker

Paul was very helpful with creating a brand for my company. He has a great approach of taking what a company does a portraying that in logo and website graphics. He listened to what our company offers as well as what we wanted it to look like in a logo and website. Being a designer myself I really appreciated the way Paul took care of the client(me) throughout the entire design process. I would highly recommend using Paul for any of the services he offers. You get what you want when it is all over. That's true customer service.

Paul Miller designed the first website for my company. Over the years, we lost touch and my company moved to another vendor. However, once when it was time to revamp our site, I came right back to where I was most satisfied. Paul has great insight on web design, customer and quality of service is great, and his prices cannot be beat for what is received in return. He is straight forward with his suggestions and/or recommendations, and definitely knows his stuff. I love working with him....he makes this part of my job much easier. Thank you Paul!

After interviewing several companies, we chose to work with The Designsmith's-Paul Miller for our website re-design. Mr. Miller looked at what we had and listened to what we wanted, which was a "custom design". He created and delivered a website that actually worked for us and our customers. Paul always responded quickly to any concern with a "Can Do" attitude which we appreciated. We would highly recommend his company and continue to work with him today.

Damon Levy, Owner - Cyclone Laundry & Internet Cafe

When the staff at ROBO Dock & Door decided it was time to design a new website... we realized we had plenty of choices. We could design the site ourselves or choose from and endless list of web design companies. Although the idea of doing the project in house was tempting, we new that ultimately we did not have the extra time to invest in such a project and we knew we wanted to get the project done quickly and professionally. Turning to the multiple choices in design companies, we chose The Designsmith and Miller Studios. Their ability to understand our goals and ideas precisely led to the design and roll out of a website that not only met but exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend The Designsmith to anyone or any company looking for a professional looking website. Thanks again for a job... and website well done!

David Little, Vice President - ROBO Dock & Door

The Designsmith created exactly what we wanted for our website. It is now polished and projects the image we want our company to convey. The designer that assisted us was extremely patient with our requests, contacted us with answers, and revisions promptly, and most of all, created an excellent design... all this within our budget. We highly recommend anyone interested in a design for their site to contact The Designsmith.

John K. Davis, Treasurer - Louisiana Association of the Deaf, Inc.

I am extremely impressed by the efficiency and creativity exhibited by the DesignSmith. They created a high quality product for us with minimal hassle on a very tight time schedule. The best web design experience I've had in all my years in the political internet communications business.
