New Fusionbox Client

Fusionbox won a new Denver software development client, Nordsted. We're building a custom web application for this healthcare company. The software will be released in early January.

How to Get High Google Rank

Fusionbox, the Denver web design company has a rule of thumb for getting high organic rank for our clients through search engine marketing. We believe that if it is good for the user, it's good for your search engine ranking.

Many Denver SEO companies make search engine marketing sound difficult and mysterious. It's not. Getting to the top of Google comes down to three key things: content, links and code.

Content - When you add useful, relevant content that includes your keywords, you are adding value to your user. Google will reward you by bringing you up in the search engines. Content is the most important aspect of SEO.

Links - The more relevant sites that are linking to you, the higher the rank. Inbound links from quality, relevant sites shows authority.

Code - The more standard and accessible your code is, the easier it is for Google to spider it. Create code that uses structural CSS and is W3C-compliant.

Fusionbox has worked with many Denver search engine marketing clients to help them increase their leads, sales, and donations by using the above best practices.

Fusionbox Focuses on Web Technology

Alexander Groth, Fusionbox’s founder, is a programmer by trade. He founded Fusionbox because he knew there would be demand for a company with superior technical skills.

Fusionbox does not do logo development, radio, television, outdoor or any other type of advertising services, nor do we plan to. We do web and we love it. We are experts in usability, interactive design best practices, navigational best practices, internet marketing and especially at creating content management that is full of features and incredibly easy for non-technical people to use.

Over the years Fusionbox has seen many agencies in Colorado launch web departments that have failed. Knowing interactive really well takes years of experience and learning. Agencies struggle to recruit, hire and retain technical people because they don’t speak the language (geek speak). Agencies often bring us in as their de facto web department. We have long-term relationships with two ad agencies in California and have launched many sites for their clients.

Fusionbox Process

Seth Godin's blog today talked about Algorithms. When strict Algorithms or formulas drive business, success is not always forthcoming. Ideas, methods, and products that warp, evolve, and expand win.

At Fusionbox, a Denver web design and agile software development agency where I work, our process has always been to define, design, measure and refine. Then, we complete the entire process over again. This means we embrace change, but only change when the data backs it up.

So, if we launched a search engine marketing campaign, based on what we thought was a good strategy, we would then look at analytics to see if the numbers backed up our thinking. If the numbers don't show success, we move in a different direction. If the numbers show success, we focus more resources on that strategy with slight variations to test success.

Twitter Bandwagon

Begin rant:

Six months ago, everyone wanted a Facebook page. Six months before that, everyone wanted a corporate blog. Now, everyone wants a Twitter account for their business. Before you take the time/energy=money, step back and ask yourself whether Twitter will bring you more sales, leads, brand awareness or relationships with your clients.

A blog is a great way to add keyword-heavy content. Who cares if anyone ever reads that content? A Facebook page is easy to set up and manage. Twitter is a commitment and does not have any search engine marketing benefit.

If done well, however, it's a great way to touch your clients and keep your brand top-of-mind. (Best be posting interesting, relevant information, though. Don't just talk about boring company news. Create some thought leadership.)

End rant.

So, if you are a Denver web development badass or a Denver internet marketing pro who thrives on results, hit us up.

More New Clients

We've had quite the busy week with new clients at Fusionbox, a Denver web design and development shop.

We are working with one of the top television affiliates in the country to develop a new socially interactive site that will include user reviews, comments, and ratings. It's top secret until launch.

We developed some designs for one of our clients who is pitching to Target for a new product line with an instructional cooking video site. I'm a foodinista so this was so fun for me. She loved what our design team came up with.

We signed a deal with Fitness Together, one of the fastest growing franchisors in the company. We'll be working with them and Sukle to create a new search engine friendly site and they've signed up with us for a monthly search engine marketing package.

Finally, we ran the numbers for Morris Animal Foundation and there donations are up 48% over this time last year. Amazing!!

Fusionbox Revenues

Fusionbox, the Denver web design company I work for, has grown its revenue by over 50% in the last year. How did we get all that business? By having top search engine placement. But, we also were very careful about the clients that we did partner with. And, we insisted on partnership.

When we are able to work closely with clients and they listen to our advice, we do very well.
