Submit Your Web Site to Search Engines

After you put the finishing touches on your small business web site, you need to submit it to the major search engines to generate the visitor interest and traffic necessary to bring in revenue. The process of submission is relatively straightforward, although each search engine requires slightly different administration processes. You can work with a Superpages.com representative to fine-tune your small business web site in preparation for submission.

How do you know when your web site is ready to introduce to the rest of the web? You can use numerous metrics. Pass your web site by friends, colleagues, and family to see whether it passes muster for its intended purpose. The web site doesn’t have to be perfect before you submit it -- however, you don’t want to make too many after the fact changes to it, since shuffling around content, adding or subtracting images, and tweaking with your back end ecommerce applications can all impact and impede your ability to rank well quickly.

You may also pass a prototype version of your web site by some of your trusted customers. Take feedback seriously. Even though you’ve invested countless hours building your web site and designing it for your purposes, you may overlook some large flaws or emphasize the wrong kinds of content or catalog items. Taking the time now -- before your web site has been listed -- to review and refurbish broken bits of content, unwieldy images and videos, and moribund links can save you double or triple that amount of time down the road once your site is churning out business.

Some brick and mortar small business owners may question even the wisdom of submitting a web site to the search engines at all. If you are a practicing pediatric dentist in a suburb of Akron, Ohio, for instance, and you get most of your business through referrals anyway, why do you need to deal with the hassle of pleasing the search engines when your web site exists merely entirely for information purposes?

While it’s true that not every web site needs to get published on the web to be effective, the amount of energy it takes to achieve “search engine approval” is minimal. Besides, you can always augment your publicity by signing up for a free directory listing in Superpages.
