Small Business SEO Success

When I first started Flying Change Webs & Graphics, it was to help get small businesses online at an affordable price. Many of my clients don't have the budget to pay for large-scale SEO. Most of the clients want to be found on a local basis.

There are so many small yet significant steps that I can help them take so the search engines, like Google, will find them on the web. One such business is Hola Amigos!

Hola Amigos! is owned by my friend, Suzanne Rouhana. Suzanne was one of my first clients. Her target audience were parent's of pre-school children, so the website was designed with primary colors and with the feeling of having "fun". We were both excited about the results.

Today I checked the ranking on Google - as I do with on a regular basis with all the websites I design. Hola Amigos! came up on the FIRST PAGE in the FIRST POSITION!

It doesn't get any better than that!

I love the Apple Store!

These days, with the economy thrashing around like a fish out of water, customer service has come to be a big part of "making it" - whether you are a small website design company in Maine or a big corporation like Apple. Let me share with you my great experience today at the Apple Store.

As you may have read in this blog - last May I traded in Asus laptop PC for a MacBook Pro. It wasn't "true love" at first, but the transition was quite smooth (like a "Flying Change") and I soon came to love and depend on it.

In recent weeks I had started to experience some troubles: the technicolor ball show up with nearly every application; fonts were rendering very strangely, and the base was warped. Yes - I said the base was warped. So into the Apple store at the Maine Mall I went. The Genius took one look at it, said he didn't want to fix it and within seconds handed me a box with a BRAND NEW MacBrook Pro.

That was justification enough to me that this little baby of mine is worth every penny. Customer Service will win - and keep - clients better than anything else. Try it!
