One of the most irritating and sometimes dangerous aspects of the online world are spam emails. At the least, these uninvited messages can clog up inboxes – at the worst, they can imbed a virus into your computer system.

As the online world evolves, so does the trickery and delivery methods of spammers. A common tool used by spammers is a spambot – this is a program designed to harvest emails from the internet in order to build a mailing list with which unsolicited spam emails are delivered to. A spambot is a program – not a live individual – submitting these junk emails.

Whether you've had a website for a long time or you're just beginning your web design now, you've probably heard the magic term 'SEO.' SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and it's considered one of the most impactful tactics to use for Google, Bing, and Yahoo website placement.

The tough part is, Google is updating their algorithm crawlers so often that strong SEO practices must be monitored on a regular basis, and if done well, can improve a website's ranking on SERP's (search engine page results).

Every lasting brand evolves in some capacity over years of business, so your website should evolve, too! No business wants a website design that's stuck in the past. Look out for these four signs proving your Milwaukee, Chicago, Racine, or Kenosha-based business website design needs a revamp!

"Can Google really increase my website leads?"
"Are search engines really that relevant?"
"Do I need to keep our website listing on the first page?"

While traditional 2019 resolutions may include chugging green smoothies or logging miles on the treadmill...

...we propose something more sustainable: growing your business and receiving more leads.

Business is simple - give the people what they want, and they'll keep coming back. Yet, if they can't find you - how can you give them what they want? If they don't know you exist - how can you exceed their expectations so they become a repeat customer?

Image Management's Paige Weslaski recently published a book, Grow Up: Growing Your Business & Yourself, describing how to GROW your business to the top! Here's the synopsis:

These days, companies must go above and beyond to stand out. Whether it be their work quality, advertising strategy, website design (with high-end SEO), or office culture, it's important for companies everywhere to be DiFfErEnT.

Seth Godin, famous author, agrees companies must stand out in order to be noticed. “In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible,” he explains.
