See What Google Sees

Google matters.

Search engines, all of them, are the single most important way to drive traffic to your site.  The best way to thrive on the Internet is to succeed on search engines.

But succeeding at Google means knowing how Google sees your site.

When a user browses your site they see a beautiful and painstakingly designed and coded website that offers them a wonderful experience and all the features and functions they could hope for.  When Google looks at your site it see only words.  The graphics are ignored, Flash and other fancy content is ignored, CSS is ignored.  The site is stripped down to its basic textual elements.

Google’s Webmaster Tools offers a function called “Fetch as Googlebot” which allows you to see your site exactly as Google’s spider – the program that looks at your site in order to “collect” it for Google – sees it.  This allows you to look over your content and ensure that you are effectively coding your site and not using elements that are working against your ranking.

When your website is designed by Reach Innovation you can rest assured that “what Google sees” is taken into consideration at every turn.  This means that our websites don’t tend to include Flash elements or graphics that are not search engine-optimized.

The time and effort required to look through Google’s eyes is well worth it.

Launch

sitesREACH innovation is proud to announce the launch of its maiden website Kingston Open Houses.

Kingston Open Houses is the first in a series of websites aimed at providing easy to use localized access to open house listings in Kingston.

The site will enable real estate agents a venue through which to post their listings and gain access to the tens of thousands of internet users who search for real estate litings every day.

The National Association of Realtors reports that more than 85% of home buyers search online at some point during their search. 46% of home buyers report that an open house factored in their decision when choosing their new home.

75% of potential home buyers who searched online subsequently visited the home they browsed. It is our hope to help bridge the gap between home buyers and agent’s listings.
