Building Your Digital Presence: A Plan That Actually Works

Finding the right website designer can feel like trying to pick the perfect avocado. You want someone who’s not just technically sharp but also gets your brand, your audience, and your goals. If you’re a business owner wondering how to grow online without getting lost in jargon or empty promises, you’re in the right place.

At SayItOnTheWeb in Roanoke, Virginia, we don’t just build websites—we build momentum. Whether you’re starting fresh or revamping your online presence, we’ve got three digital marketing plans that actually move the needle. And yes, we speak fluent “web developer” and “website designer,” but we also speak human.

1. SEO That Starts at the Ground Level

Before we write a single line of code or sketch a layout, we start with Google search data. Why? Because potential customers are already searching—you just need to show up when they do.

We look at your target area and pull the highest-performing phrases that match your services. Then we bake those phrases into your site’s meta tags—those behind-the-scenes snippets that tell search engines what your pages are about. It’s the first layer of SEO, and shoudl always be included in your website development quote. No fluff. Just smart web development from a seasoned website design company that knows how to get results.

And if you’re wondering whether this stuff really matters? It does. Meta tags are like the name tags at a networking event—without them, you’re just another face in the crowd.

2. Blog It Like You Mean It

Here’s where things get interesting. Once your site is live, the next step is expansion. That’s where blogging comes in.

Think of your blog as the heartbeat of your website. Every article adds a pulse—more keywords, more pages, more chances to be found. You can write them yourself (we’ll set you up with access), or we can handle it for you. We’ll write the article, add SEO, drop in an image, and publish it. Most pieces take about an hour, and some clients have us doing this weekly or monthly.

And no, blogging isn’t just for lifestyle brands or tech startups. If you’re a plumber, a CPA, or a boutique florist—your audience is searching for answers. A blog helps you show up with solutions.

3. Social Media That Doesn’t Feel Like a Chore

Once you’ve got a few blog articles under your belt, it’s time to share them. Facebook, LinkedIn, and X.com (formerly Twitter) are the big three to start with. We’ll help you set up branded pages that match your website design—same colors, same vibe, same voice.

We can even create the artwork for your profiles so everything feels cohesive. And yes, you can share your blog posts, your listings, your updates—whatever makes sense for your business.

Branding these platforms usually takes about an hour, and it’s worth every minute. Social media isn’t just about likes—it’s about visibility. And visibility leads to trust.

Bonus Moves That Pack a Punch

Once your site, blog, and social channels are humming, there are two more steps that can really amplify your reach:

• Directory Listings – We’ll help you get listed on key directories across the web. But here’s the catch: every listing needs to be identical. “Road” can’t become “Rd.” halfway through. Consistency is king. It’s manual work, but it pays off in local search rankings.
  
  
• Pay Per Click (PPC) – Want to show up instantly when someone searches for your service? PPC lets you sponsor your site on Google or Bing. You only pay when someone clicks. We can set up your ads, help you choose keywords, and get your account rolling. You set the budget, and we’ll make sure it’s working hard.
