Website tune up for Glasgow Piano Tuner

D.S. Love has been tuning my piano at my home in Lanarkshire for a few years now and we eventually got around to having a conversation about how he finds new business for piano tuning  in Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Cumbria areas.

In addition to their preferred word of mouth referrals, they previously relied on placing online adverts through Yell.com, but after Ireckon did some research on the potential business they should be drawing it, D.S. Love decided that optimising their small and simple website, would be a better long-term solution.

Ireckon carried out the keyword research on the various terms: Piano Tuner Glasgow, Piano tuning Glasgow, Piano Repairs Cumbria etc. and made a number of recommendations to D.S. Love, including using Google Analytics to monitor the number of visitors they have to their website. In addition Google Analytics will also provide information on how customers found the website, using which keywords and their geographic location, which is very important as D.S. Love with their piano repair and tuning service, cover quite a large geographic area.

Ireckon have now made the first set of optimisations and are eagerly awaiting Google and the other search engines to update their indexes, so we can review and monitor the improvements in visitor traffic and hopefully conversions to the piano tuning website.

Brighter smiles for Xmas

We recently had a meeting with our client, L & H Dentalcare in Hamilton and we were pleased to hear that they are getting great search engine results for the term ‘Hamilton Dentist’. So much so, the team were smiling all about it and mentioned their Xmas special they have for Teeth Whitening.

We’d love to spread the word and show people the L & H Site, by informing them about their special offer on Teeth Whitening as a suggested gift this Christmas.

It’s that time of year, in the UK especially, when folk want to be smiling more for their various Christmas photos – either with work or business collegaues, family gatherings or just random snapshots to capture the moment.

When it comes to getting promotional merchandise – such as pens, mugs and accessories for trade shows and customer give-aways, one of the leading UK companies to supplies these products are ORB Direct, part of ORB Group.

National merchandise branding – ORB Group

ORB Group are one of those companies who are behind many of the items you and I see lying around and take for granted – the branded merchandise. Or if you’re a student, it’s the company who probably produced half of the things lying around your flat.

From post-it pads and pens with your company logo printed on it, through to more specialised promotional products including business card holders, bookmarks, bags, trays, ice-buckets – to name but a few. ORB’s client list include Malibu, Nissan and Vango.

ORB International who run the ORB Group website and working with Shine who are based in Glasgow and Ireckon, we produced the new look website, which is built in Drupal. Using the Drupal Content Management System allows ORB to update and maintain their website very easily.

Our hat goes off to Shine for creating a great looking website and to ORB for producing such a wonderful range of products.

Take a look at the branded merchandise website and see how ORB Group could help your business.

Rebuilding Glasgow PR Agency

Having been a client with Ireckon for several years, Panache Communications - a Glasgow based Public Relations agency needed a small face-lift to their existing website. Keen to expand the brand between the UK and to encompass new links into France, Jen Nash – director and owner of Panache Communications asked Ireckon to help.

To allow Jen to manage and maintain the content of the website herself we convereted the static half a dozen page website into a Drupal driven Content Management System. Using a custom style and theme to continue the Panache brand, we expanded the website into more detailed sections, including clients, testimonial quotes, plus the extensive services Panache offer their clients.

By increasing the size of the website, will also improve Jen’s chances of being found on Google and other search engines for phrases such as Glasgow PR Agency etc.
