The Top 10 Free SEO Tools for Small Business are focused primarily on assessing your current site and providing tools for continuing to monitor your SEO progress. No single tool can help small businesses in developing or executing an SEO strategy and you are unlikely to find any single piece of software to do it for you. SEO is something which is unique to each website, depending on your industry, competitors, keywords, content, location and objectives. To develop and execute your SEO plan we would strongly recommend employing the services of an SEO professional such as Flashburn to assist.

None the less, the tools listed here are worthwhile exploring in order to gather some intelligence about your site and develop an understanding of exactly what SEO is before making an informed decision.

For some customers, maintaining their content is not a priority or they simply don’t want to learn. No problems, at Flashburn Design we maintain web content for many customers by simply publishing articles, images, products or services for them, but for those who wish to do it themselves it becomes a whole lot easier with the use of a Content Management System (CMS). The customer becomes empowered with the skills they need to maintain their own site.

Flashburn takes a project management approach to every design job we undertake. The reason is simple: a structured project approach increases the chance of a successful  implementation. But what happens when the project has no clear objective or focus?

Generally, the goal of a site is to get more people to visit your site as often as possible, and get them to buy (or at least make the decision to buy) as often as possible.
