1 Million pages for Web Design Manchester

Quite possibly the most competitve keyword for any Manchester based web design studio, or any business in the city of Manchester for that matter is, ‘web design Manchester‘.
There are currently over 1000,000 pages indexed for the keyword web design Manchester, and our very own Sizzle Media web design Manchester, has secrured itself position three on google search results.
The truth of the matter is that probably 900,000 of those pages are related to businesses not even in the Manchester web design area. They are simply creating town name based page farms in the vain hope that they may secure a high traffic position. Although this ‘grey hat’ tactic may have worked 24 months ago, Google has cottoned on to this apprach and has been steadily penalising such pages.
Effective search engine optimisation is not about spammy pages of content or volume traffic. It’s about targeted traffic and converting those hits in to sales.
That is why Sizzle Media web design Manchester are so successful as a web design agency. They offer web design services in and around the manchester area, and they are based in the Manchester area, and Google likes that, it’s honest information that is easy to decifer and easy to promote.
2010 should see Sizzle Media web design Manchester, also lead the way for ‘web design Bury‘ and ‘web design Oldham‘ as they expand their web design services to nearby towns for their HQ in Rochdale.

Web design for Rochdale businesses

Rochdale website design agency, sharing our name -  Status by Design have come on the scene and really scooped up some very cool clients in a short space of time. Offering very creative web design services not usually associated with a local agency.

A recent discussion with their Creative Director led to some very interesting email exchanges in regards to how local web design agencies preceive themselves in comparison to their city counterparts. Most web design  studios consider themselves a lower lifeforms to city agencies. This was not the case with Status by Design who have full corporate web design studio backgrounds and have chosen deliberatly not to operate from city centre offices.

Status by Design’s CD said “it’s a total myth that you need to be in the city to make a successful graphic or web design studio. Manchester web design studios face the same problems as studio based in Rochdale, or web design agencies in Bury. Rent, rates, clients, bills, new business, staff – the realities of business are the same. There is no-one in Manchester or London who cannot be knocked off their pirch by a local web design agency. All it takes is preserverance and it doesn’t happen overnight.”

We think that Status By Design will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming months and we will be keeping an eye on their new Rochdale based graphic design studio.
