<p>This year is definitely coming to an end on a very exciting and terrifying note!  I have finally left my full-time job to pursue my dreams.  Ashleigh, my wife, has been a tremendous support in all of this and I can never thank her enough for continuing to encourage me on this journey.  I would also like to thank all the clients, friends and colleagues that have made this possible.  Ya&#8217;ll will never know how much of a blessing you are, even though you sometimes feel like a curse <img src='http://jnacorporatedesigns.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was doing research earlier today trying to find a firm in Florida that provided ASP programming services.  Four pages of Google searches later I found only one design firm in the area that stated they offered ASP programming services.  However, I can guarantee that several companies I reviewed offered those services!  Their website didn&#8217;t sell me on what I was looking for!  This oversight lost them a referral and potential customer that could have been quite lucrative for their business.</p>
<blockquote><p>Their website didn&#8217;t sell me on what I was looking for!</p></blockquote>
<p>How do we fix this problem for our own companies?  How do we get into the mind of potential customers?  Surveys?  Industry statistics?  It is hard to tell what specific answer will work best, but we need to adapt when we notice an issue.  When an oversight is noticed, we need to act quickly to fix the issue.</p>
<p>This being said&#8230; JnA Designs specializes in WordPress and is proficient in HTML/CSS and PHP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does your business have an online presence?  A website?  How much new business does being online bring you?  Can&#8217;t answer that last question?</p>
<h2>Then Your Website Sucks!</h2>
<p>Having a complete online presence has the potential to help any business tremendously.  The sad truth is that many businesses pay a premium price for a website or other services that bring no added value to their businesses!</p>
<p>Like any other sales environment, your web presence should be designed to interact with your customers.  An intentional strategy should be determined and applied and once applied, regular evaluation and maintenance should be performed.  If this is implemented effectively, you will see a direct quantifiable growth in your business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you use smart phones for your business? Does your company also have an email account setup under your domain (name@yourcompany.com)? Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to have your email, a calendar, and important company information setup to sync with your phone? Well you can!!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120" title="Google Apps" src="http://jnacorporatedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/google_apps_ring.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="648" /></p>
<p>With google apps you can set up a secure google mail account, google calendar, google docs, along with other services for your business. Once these are setup, you can sync them directly to your phone. This will allow you to be notified immediately of all emails, events, and changes to company documents as they occur.</p>
<p>With this integration your team will become more efficient while you provide a more rapid response to your customer&#8217;s needs.</p>

<h2>Does your business have a Google Place Page?</h2>
<p>If you are not sure if your business has a place page or you want to claim one that is already setup for your business you can do so at <a title="Google Places" href="http://google.com/places" target="_blank">Google Places</a></p>
<h2>Showing up at the top!!</h2>
<p>Like regular Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for your website, simple steps can be taken to help your page rank higher in search results.  According to Google, the rankings for Google Place pages are primarily determined by three factors:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Relevance</strong> &#8211; How well does the place match the term/terms that were searched.</li>
<li><strong>Distance </strong>- How far the business is from the location of the person that performed the search.</li>
<li><strong>Prominence </strong>- How prominent is the listing throughout the web (links, presence in articles, directories, etc.)</li>
</ol>
<h2>What can you do?</h2>
<p>You know the three primary factors, what do you do now? There is little that can be done to affect the 2nd factor (unless you want to open a new office). Luckily, a little work with the other two factors can fix a location issue in no time.</p>
<p><strong>Be intentional with your chosen categories and business description</strong><br />
You can become more &#8220;relevant&#8221; if the terms used in your description and chosen as your categories are the same as what your potential clients are searching.</p>
<p><strong>Be active online and in your community</strong><br />
Having social media pages (facebook, twitter, etc.) can increase the links and traffic to your site, thus increasing your site&#8217;s prominence. Also, the more active you are, online and in your community, the more others will talk about you and link to your site.</p>
