Boost your business to the first page of Google
Some web design agencies build sites that will never get noticed online. Just because you have a website, doesn’t mean it will show up in a Google search.
In order to reach that prime search engine real estate, you have to build and optimize your website a certain way.
Search Engine Optimization is what helps your website bring in the return on investment (ROI) that your business needs.
Emerge works on creating excellent content, researching key search terms, establishing your Roanoke location, adjusting technical aspects of your website and more.
What is SEO?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a set of strategies used to improve your chances of gaining new customers from Google.
What is Google indexing?
Google keeps an index of pages that it has deemed searchable. Our first goal is to ensure your pages are indexed, from there we work on increasing the number of searchers who find your page.
Why does SEO matter for small businesses?
The page of Google that your website is on can make a huge difference in your revenue.
Think about the last few times you used a search engine, you very rarely or never scroll through page after page of results. Typically Google’s algorithm brings you exactly what you need on the first page. If that first page lets you down, usually page two will pull through.
You need your website to show up in those early pages so potential customers can find your website and eventually your contact information.
What are the benefits of ranking on Google?
Pages that rank well for popular Google keywords can act as constant lead generation tools.
How does Emerge improve SEO?
Emerge uses SEO tactics to help you reach for Google’s top spots. These initial optimization efforts can help you long term and open up a world of opportunities for more SEO-driven content.
Build a responsive website perfect for mobile users
No matter where you go it seems like everyone is always on their phone.
It’s the easiest way to find the information you need, make purchases and contact people.
By making your website mobile-friendly you can unlock an entirely new audience. Some websites are completely unusable when you open them on a phone screen. The content is cramped or distorted, it’s impossible to find the buttons you need and scrolling can take forever.
Emerge ensures that your site fits phone and tablet screens so you don’t have to worry about losing customers to design and technical issues.
Developing a marketing plan to guide your website project
Before your website can be designed or your content can be written it’s important to craft a roadmap for your project.
Your website is a huge part of meeting your marketing goals and displaying your branding. That’s why Emerge holds an in-depth strategy with every single web design client.
During our collaborative Discovery Session you’ll meet with our team to learn about your company’s characteristics, what makes you stick out and what your purpose is.
Our team asks the questions while you provide us with a look into what makes your business tick. From there you’ll receive a document outlining important branding factors such as:
- Your tone and voice
- What you do and why
- Who your target audience is
- Goals and challenges
- Your impact and x-factor
- What your competition is doing
Website design questions
How much does a website design cost?
The cost of web design depends on your company’s goals.
Your website design cost is determined on how many pages and features you need. A simple brochure website could need only need a few pages and would take less time to complete than an website that needs to sell multiple products online.
Emerge offers a discovery session to help you build what you need right away. This is a low-cost activity that helps you understand what matters most to your business so you can invest in the most efficient website possible.
Do I have control of my website?
Absolutely! You paid for it, so you deserve to have ownership of your website without any strings attached.
When your website is ready to launch, you will be trained on how to operate it so you can update your website without having to depend on us. The training session will be recorded so you can refer back to it to refresh your memory.
If you are too busy or too uncomfortable making changes to your website, we will be available to help via phone or email.
Can you design websites for any industry?
Emerge has years of experience designing websites for many industries.
From construction to hair salons, Emerge helps create a path to success with our discovery phase. This activity helps us understand your brand and its industry to design a personalized website that matches your audience and goals.
How long will my website design take?
To be honest, it depends on a few factors:
- How fast you can respond to us
- The number of features you want on your website
- The amount of pages you need for your site
- Your ability to provide content (pictures and writing the website pages)
For small business owners, providing photos and written content can feel like a homework assignment.
That’s why we offer photo and copywriting services to help you get your website designed faster.

How do I get my website on Google?
Depending on your industry and services, there are tons of factors that come into play when you are trying to rank your website on search engines.
With Emerge, your website is at least designed to be Google-Friendly through initial search engine optimization (SEO).
If you’re going to spend money on your website, don’t you think your website should at least be ready for Google to see it?
While initial search engine optimization (SEO) is a boost to your website, it’s not a guarantee of first-page rankings. If companies promise you fast, first-page organic rankings for your website, please take caution, because not all that glitters is gold.
