Importance of your Web Presence
If you have spent time looking into your marketing strategy in 2025 then you might have heard SEO thrown around a lot by peers as well as seen it online when looking for marketing services. Honestly, SEO is much less of a secret than it used to be, and we would love to help your company learn about best SEO practices as well as utilize them to grow your business. SEO simply stands for Search Engine Optimization. Think about it, when you are looking for a restaurant, a plumber, a tow truck, or really just about any information, where do you go? Google is the juggernaut but even people that don’t use google use a search engine of some kind to get information. Search engine optimization is the scientific process that we use to boost your presence on search engine results in the area of your business.
All of the search engines that people regularly use are using algorithms to determine which websites are most relevant to the search term that they are using. What our team does, is make sure that we have a complete understanding of how those algorithms work, and then we use your website and social media accounts to make sure that your business is the most relevant place for Google to send people for search terms that relate to your field. When people google to find the “best Mexican restaurant” there may actually be several around them that they don’t notice right away in the search results. With our strategy, we would make sure that restaurant is able to be seen right there on the first page of results, so that you do not miss out on any potential customers.
There are many things involved in utilizing SEO to boost your business, but if you give us a call we can set up a consultation to provide you with a complete view of our plan for you. Contact us today to learn more about utilizing best SEO practices for your business here in Maine.
FAQs
Does It Make Sense to Have a Website?
Absolutely. Customers rely on online research long before they reach out to a business. A well-designed website supports every part of your marketing system — SEO, paid ads, social media, content marketing, and even offline branding.
A strong website:
- Builds instant trust and credibility
- Improves conversion rates
- Works 24/7 as your online storefront
- Strengthens your digital presence
- Supports local SEO and Google Business Profile rankings
- Increases online visibility for Maine shoppers
- Saves money long-term by controlling your messaging and reducing ad waste
For Maine businesses, a website isn’t just helpful — it’s essential to staying competitive.
Do I Need a Website If I Already Have Facebook or GBP?
Yes. Social media platforms are helpful tools, but they don’t replace a professional website. Your website is the only online property you fully own — and it plays a critical role in search engine rankings, branding, and lead generation.
Facebook pages and Google Business Profiles can drive traffic, but they cannot:
- Improve long-term organic search rankings
- Build full authority in search engines
- Host detailed service information
- Serve as a reliable hub for marketing campaigns
- Replace SEO-optimized content
- Provide full control over your brand
A Maine business that relies solely on social media is missing opportunities, losing credibility, and giving up control of its digital presence.
Does Web Design Affect SEO?
Yes — web design directly influences search engine optimization. Google evaluates user experience, mobile responsiveness, accessibility, site architecture, and loading speed when determining search rankings. A well-structured website makes it easier for search engines to crawl your content and easier for customers to find what they need.
At Northern Leads, we combine creative design with technical SEO best practices so your site performs well both visually and algorithmically. Better design leads to stronger search visibility, increased engagement, and more qualified leads for your business.
Who Are Northern Leads Websites For?
We partner with a wide range of Maine businesses, including:
- Local contractors and trades
- Real estate firms, attorneys, and medical clinics
- Restaurants, cafés, and hospitality groups
- Online stores and e-commerce brands
- Startups, personal brands, and nonprofits
