We are able to provide a number of sms text-related services; from simple bulk text send outs to large groups of mobile numbers to more sophisticated texting strategies including keyword autoresponders and databasing.

An autoresponder means that you can set up ANY keyword you want and when somebody texts this to a dedicated number they instantly receive a message to their mobile. For example, somebody can now text PROMOS to a dedicated number and receive what promotions/ information are relevant to that day. This information can be changed AS OFTEN AS YOU WANT AND AT NO EXTRA COST. In addition, you can measure the success of a marketing campaign by including the keyword in whatever promotional material you are currently running such as magazine or radio advertising and at any time of the campaign check on activity in the password-protected extranet facility located on our home page.

In order to help out we need to now a few things such as:

1) What keywords (or areas) you would like to be ranked highest under, for example, your website may specialise in something like a particlular type of music or book. In this case we would focus on that. Ideally you would need to put together a short list of around a dozen top keywords that you think are important and ideally seperate you from your competition. We can then check your keywords for suitability and if necessary find alternatives that will yield a higher return.

2) We need to set out realistic goals from the start of what you want to achieve. More often than not we are able to get 10 rankings for some of your top keywords although this can take anything up to 3 months to realise. In cases it can take 4-6 weeks to get your site submitted to some search engines and directories - especially the good ones! Similarly if you want to be ranked number one on Google for 'Hotels' you are barking up the wrong tree. Competition can be fierce and the unrealistic you are about choosing your keywords then the harder the job of getting top ten positioning and serious traffic to your site.

3) You/we will need access to your web page code to be able to carry out a number of techniques that will help improve search engine ranking for your chosen keywords.

4) You need an idea of budget if you are to do much more than search engine optimisation. It really is as long as a piece of string and dependant on how much you want to spend. you can promote your site through pay per click and advertising on some of the main search engines. Similarly you can pay to get express submission on the likes of Yahoo which can be beneficial too.
