I was interviewed recently for an article on website marketing for Stable Management magazine! The article describes seven great ways to make your website a more effective marketing tool. Here are my top three:

1. Be Active: Don’t rely solely on the search engines to bring you traffic. Actively market your website!
2. Focus Content: Be specific about the services you offer and describe what sets you apart from your competition.
3. Make it Easy: Make sure it’s simple for anyone visiting your website to find your contact information! Also, provide an web-to-email contact form they can fill out and submit directly from your site.
