We’re pleased to have been selected as a local leader in technology to assist the State of Arizona in validating this year’s technology curriculum for high school kids who are gearing up for careers in technology.  MCP Media will be focusing on web development and design standards.

I’m pretty excited to help mold the programs that our Arizona kids will be learning this year.  I’ll do my best to insure that the materials are not too focused on last year’s trends, and that emerging technology is top of mind.

I’m not sure exactly what to expect out of this meeting, but I feel it’s my duty to help where I can.  After all, these kids are the future of our state.  We need to do what we can to make sure they have the tools they need to help our state excel, especially in technology.  The last thing we want is for the next Google to open up shop here, then have to leave because of “a lack of talent”.

We are proud to do our part to help educate our kids.

Ranking high for terms like “Phoenix SEO” means we get a *lot* of client inquiries. Although we pride ourselves on being able to help any site get rankings, sometimes we refer clients to other local Phoenix SEO companies.  It’s good karma. 

But our reputation is important to us, so if we refer a client to another local SEO company in the Phoenix metro area, we need to make sure it’s a company we trust.  I thought some of our readers might find it interesting to share a few local SEO companies that we think are pretty good.  

Well, don’t get me wrong we’re still the best. ;-)  But depending on the job, I would probably trust these local SEOs to rank my website in a pinch. Like us, each has it’s own brand of SEO.   So in no particular order, here are some Phoenix SEO companies that we think are pretty cool.

How’s that for transparency?  Not many other SEO companies are *that* open and honest.  

Think about it, if a company is so willing to show you their competition, and even praise their competition, it’s probably the kind of company that will tell it to you straight.  If you need SEO services (whether locally or not) just contact us.  We can help you pick the perfect SEO firm for *your* site.  

And for full disclosure, we *usually* feel like the best fit is MCP Media. ;-)

Tread Carefully, the Phoenix SEO Lanscape can be Rocky

Too many times clients come to us after getting burned.  Don’t let that happen to you.  We can help you avoid some of the seedier Phoenix SEO companies.  They exist, we know who most of them are, and we don’t feel it would be appropriate to post that list. Contact us if you are concerned about your local SEO company or if you just want to know what we know about them. :-)

Do you feel like your company should be on this list?

Contact us.  We like keeping good relations with the Phoenix SEO community.  If you’re a company we like, a person we trust, or if you are just an un-deniably amazing Phoenix SEO company, we’ll put your site on this list as well.

Phoenix SEO companies are getting more leads lately, especially us it seems.  There was a period a month or two ago that looked like the desert was getting dry, but lately the influx of leads we have seen has me wondering…

Are there signs of life in the economy right now?  Or is it a much worse omen… more companies are halting other forms of advertising and moving online in hopes of greener, and and cheaper, pastures?  Either way, it is good to at least see some economic stimulus in one way or another.  Money flowing will lead to an improved economy. 

Fortunately for us, most marketing publications point towards online marketing as the cheaper and more effective lead generation machanism when compared to offline marketing.  This is right up our alley.  And we can make it even cheaper, by utilizing higher end and advanced marketing techniques such as Multi Variate testing and helping companies create in-house affiliate programs.

And you don’t need to be located in Phoenix Arizona to capitalize on the benefits of MCP Media’s advanced web marketing services.  We accept clients nation wide :-)

I just posted a blog with “Phoenix SEO” in the title on my personal blog.  Immediately that site is ranking #1 on Google for that exact term.

Amazing.  Now THAT’s fast rankings.

I don’t expect them to hold up for more than a few days, they will fall to the 2nd page soon. (I would explain why, but I’ll save that for a later post)

But honestly, if you know the guy who owns this company can get rankings that competitive within 24 hours, wouldn’t you want to hire this company to do your SEO?

I sure would.

MCP Media, we’re currently taking clients. :-)

Bump around a bit, check it out.  Kick the tires.  It’s our new look.

Our old site was getting pretty tired, which is really not appropriate for a web design company.  So I decided to pull away from client work for a bit and get this thing looking a little more respectable. The new look better matches what I (we) do.

I know you visit some web design companies’ websites and you’re stunned by amazing visuals, video, flashy animations, and all that jazz.  Well, that type of design simply wouldn’t work for our site.  We’re not that company.  We design things using the K.I.S.S. method (keep it simple stupid!) because people interact better to simple.  Simple converts.  And I have a motive quite frankly.  If you’re looking for SEO or a new look for your site, I want you to contact us.  I don’t want to distract you from the point of this site, which is to get you to call that phone number on the top, or to fill out that form on the right.

Here are some reason why the site looks the way it does:

  • There’s a nice face of a girl at the top because human faces increase conversions.  (though I need a better resolution on that graphic to be honest) Especially happy ones.
  • There’s an arrow to the form, because arrows lead your eye.  And I want you to be looking at the form.
  • The form is dark because the site is light, and the human eye gravitates towards dark on a light page.
  • The design is light, because light is comfortable for the human eye
  • The colors are blue and green, because our logo has been for years
  • The background is light blue, because studies show it makes people comfortable (something to do with the sky being blue from what I hear)
  • There are three bullets in the main graphic window, because sets of three somehow work
  • The button on the form is orange, because that is a great contrast color for the site to be used sparingly for calls to action

And that pretty much sums up why these particular design elements exist.  It’s not just to look pretty, it’s to get a job done.  And the job of this site, is to connect us with you, the potential client!
