SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. This is the method of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results. (as opposed to paying for Google Ads (aka Google AdWords)

When you type or speak a phrase using a search engine like Google, Yahoo! or Bing - you may think that the results magically appear with a long list of links to webpages that could potentially answer your question. That's true, however have you ever stopped to consider what's behind that magical list of links that appears especially for you? It's not really magic, it's based on a large list of Google Ranking Factors that are related to the actual website links that appear in the Search Results. 

The Google Algorithm is extremely complex, however, with a good knowledge of SEO techniques ,your website rankings can be improved substantially - we know about SEO techniques!

Ensuring that your website gets found for key search terms and phrases on Google is not easy. It is what we do behind the scenes that will help your business get found by people who are looking for the products and services you offer. It is a complex area, but we use tried and tested procedures to ensure you have the best possible chance of ranking highly for your chosen search terms.

Yes we develop eCommerce websites. When it comes to a full blown eCommerce project, the key is organising the data. As a client, this takes a lot of time to ensure you have all your product information, product images, pricing, shipping details etc before we begin to develop the actual site. Of course, we can give you guidance and a "Content Template" to help you, particularly if it is your first eCommerce website.

We choose the most appropriate technology depending on your requirements, resources and budget. Technologies and platforms include: HTML, WordPress, Magento, Shopify, Java, PHP, MSSql, MySql and more.

Absolutely. We are a great believer in you having total control over your website. It's your business and your website. You should always have full control over your website, domain name and hosting credentials.

We have been designing websites for nearly 20 years. We began designing websites for "Desktop" but all that changed with the emergence of the iPhone in 2007 - and then subsequent smartphones and tablets that followed. Even though web technology is developing all the time, the skill of the actual design is still extremely mportant, particularly when ensuring the optimal user experience  for web users on a mobile phone. And it's not just the website design - the website structure and content needs to be optimised for effective Google Search. This we are very good at!

Everthing from Marketing Consultancy & Training to the development of a Marketing Strategy for your business. Depending on your business goals, we will recommend a course of action that will be an efficient use of time and resources. Marketing is all about facilitating Sales and that's what we can do for you.

Social Media is everywhere and everyone is on it! It is essential that businesses use this to their advantage. We can help small businesses save time and money with a bespoke social media campaign designed just for you. 

We can advise on the best Social Media platform to use to promote your particular business. We also provide social media training so that you can get involved in promoting your business efficiently and effectively. 

The majority of our Social Media Management clients are for Facebook Posting & Facebook Adverts. We have been using Facebook for Business since Facebook's inception. Facebook is not ideal for all business types, but it can be beneficial for most.

Just ask for references of any of our clients and we are happy for you to make your decision on that basis. If you want to know if we are good at marketing, search engine optimisation (SEO) or website design, type these phrases into Google and see if Vodatrade Digital Agency ranks highly. 

Also, check our website, see if you think it is fast, well designed and attractive, particularly on a mobile as most website views are on a smartphone.

Of course you can have references of our work. You will be able to see some of our website designs in our client portfolio section on this website, but we can provide many more on request. 

I'm afraid not. Two websites can look identical, however, when you look behind the scenes they will perform very differenty depending on a range of factors. 

For example, site loading speed, html tagging, image tagging, page titles, user layout, navigation menu, Google tools integration and so much more.

Through advances in technology, there is a perception that it is "simple" to design a website - it's not. A basic website is just that - "Basic". If that's  all you want just Google "cheap website design" and go for it! (but be aware that your website may not perform well and could also be hacked). 

If you consider your website to be a marketing funnel for future business, then we can design that type of website for you. We do not design "basic" websites because a professional website will require the correct and comprehensive use of modern web design techniques, along with good search engine optimisation - that's the only type of website we design at Vodatrade.

Facebook like all social media is great. It also helps with Google Search. However, the nature of Facebook means that is a "snapshot communication" at a point in time. Your prospective users may or may not see your post or your advert. 

On the other hand, a website is like having a large exhibition space online. A website enables you to display as much information as you want. This allows you to show your products and services and offer a better user experience for existing customers and potential customers alike. 

We always recommend that you should have a Business page on Facebook (with certain exceptions), but that Facebook Page should be used primarily as a "funnel to your website". 

Facebook is good at attracting attention, but to keep that attention you really need it to connect to a well designed website. That's just our opinion!

The honest answer is - It depends! A similar question could be how much does a car cost? - it also depends. Do you want a new car? Do you want a big car or a small car? Do you want a Fiesta or a Ferrari? Depending on what you want, these cars can cost anything from €16,000 to the latest Ferrari which costs over €300,000. If you want a cheap secondhand car, you can get one for €400 on Done Deal. Take a look at our blog post on this subject here.

The web technology and platform that is right for your business is always an important factor. It depends on the type of website you need. Will it be an informational website? 

Will it be an eCommerce website? Does the website require special features including complex forms, calendars, booking facilities, galleries, payment integration? Will the content need to be changed - if so, how often? 

We always go through the options  available with clients to ensure the most suitable platform is chosen for your new website.

You could...but then you could also rewire your home or fit your new bathroom suite. How about building your own home - that would save money! 

If you are a professional web designer then of course you can. There are lots of easy to use website builders available and most are pretty good. However, you need to know how to use them correctly, and nore importantly how to ensure the website is designed with good search engine optimistaion in mind.  

As well as the physical website design there are many factors that you have to consider e.g. Colour scheme, fonts, icons, navigation menu, responsiveness for moble and much more. 

If you are proficient with technology, have a good grasp of design elements and have the time to learn about search engine optimisation techniques, keyword density, web hosting settings, email settings and Google Webmaster Tools - then go for it!

Yes we do. Google Ads can be very effective but it really depends on the type of product or service you are offering. 

Another factor includes the level of active competition in your target market and the Google Advertising spend of your closest competitors.

Setting up Google Ads correctly at the start is essential. There are many Google Ad types and campaigns that can be created, so you should begin with the most appropriate format for your business objectives and budget. 

Google Ads are not cost effective for all businesses, however, if set up correctly they can be very lucrative. 

Google Ads do require constant reviewing and management. There is no magic bullet, however the Google Algorithm is capable of learning and the Google Results from your campaigns should be monitored and amended on a regular basis. 

The key objective is to make your Google Ads more effective and more efficient, as this will result in a higher clickthrough rate and a lower conversion cost. Of course the quality and pricing for your products and services need to be set at the appropriate levels to compete with your Google Ads competitor campaigns. 

We can guide you through the process to determine what is most appropriate approach to Google Ads for your business.
