Flyte recently wrapped up a project for Evergreen Subaru, a Subaru dealership located in Auburn, Maine. Like so many car dealerships, Evergreen was struggling with differentiation on the web; especially since many other dealerships are on the same website platforms (and even similar designs!).

How did we suggest they differentiate?

Why a blog of course. The great folks at Evergreen came up with the great idea of the “Adopt a Subaru” blog, where they talk about everything from adopting a car that needs a great home to car buying tips to driving safety tricks!

So if you need a new car, preowned car, or some helpful tips about which one is right for you, make sure you call Evergreen Subaru.

If you need help differentiating your business with a blog, give flyte a call.

Flyte recently wrapped up another SEO project; this one for Signal Communications (or SigCom) – a company specializing in emergency communication and alerting products.

SigCom offers a variety of high quality emergency communication products and accessories, including:

• Emergency Communication & Signaling
• Manual Alarm Stations & Accessories
• Incident & Alarm Reporting

With an already great looking website, flyte gave the SigCom.com a minor facelift, along with optimizing it. Then, to really give SigCom a competitive advantage, we built them a blog.

I’ve talked about it numerous times, but for many companies, blogging and creating fresh new content is just the catalyst they need to get a ton of qualified traffic.

So if you’re looking for a great new emergency system, alarm stations, or incident reporting, look no further than Signal Communications.

If you’re looking for a blog to increase your search engine visibility, look no further than flyte.

Recently flyte launched four new blogs for Berman & Simmons, a Maine personal injury and trial law firm with locations in Portland, Lewiston, and Bangor. The blogs include:

• Maine Accident and Personal Injury News
• Maine Nursing Home Law Center
• Product Safety at Home and at Work

You may be thinking: four blogs? Four? Well, with such niche fields and enough manpower to create plenty of great content, it seemed like a no brainer – especially with all the great search engine visibility blogs provide.

So for the latest information about Maine accidents and personal injury, nursing home law, product safety and liability, and Maine court decisions, look no further than Berman & Simmons.

And if you need a blog to increase your search engine visibility, then give flyte a call.

Last month, flyte relaunched a website for Levey & Wagley: a Maine law office specializing in Elder Law.

Like an Ecommerce website would optimize for products, we optimized for speciality services for Levey & Wagley. And while their speciality lies in elder law, Levey & Wagley also practice in:

• Estate Planning & Probate
• Special Needs Trusts
• Divorce & Family Law
• Real Estate
• Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution

Since WordPress was originally a blogging platform, Levey & Wagley (already a content-rich organization) has set out to the blogosphere. You’ll find a ton of great information about elder law, probate, and even tips for helping out your elderly parents!

So if you need an elder law, probate, divorce, or real estate attorney, be sure to give Levey & Wagley a call. If you need a blog or would like to easily update your website, give flyte a call.

Last month, flyte relaunched a website for Albin, Randall, & Bennett – a Certified Public Accountants firm right here in Portland, Maine.

The CPA firm took advantage of both a complete redesign as well as SEO. In order to enhance their search visibility as much as possible, Albin, Randall & Bennett (or ARB) decided to create specific service pages for their main areas of expertise, including:

• Automotive
• Construction
• Credit Union & Financial Institution
• Employee Benefit Plan
• Manufacturing
• Not-for-Profit

Like many websites that incorporate tools, ARB uses iFrames on certain pages of the website (like for their Financial Tools page). Search engines cannot usually read iFrames, but there are certain ways of making them work. Coupled with the same design elements as the website, iFrames can actually live quite harmoniously within a host.

With tax season nearly upon us, you might need a CPA in the area; and if you’re looking for a brand new design or SEO you might need flyte.

Flyte recently finished an SEO project for KimsCrafts, a company that makes gorgeous handmade slate signs right here in Maine.

With an intuitive site structure in place and a developer who’s willing to try anything (don’t you just love those?), we got our hands dirty optimizing the pages at the deepest product levels.

Copy is often where Ecommerce websites fall short – putting product images and big, beautiful “buy now” buttons far ahead of content on the old list of priorities. So adding bits of unique content to each product page has been where a lot of the KimsCrafts team has been spending its time.

Instead of a typical “breadcrumb” navigation so many Ecommerce sites favor, “Find more like this” was preferred for KimsCrafts’ product line; much like Amazon’s “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” widget. (See my favorite slate, the Black Lab Welcome Sign, as an example.)

A few more tweaks, and the newly optimized site was ready for the holiday rush. Don’t worry, though, it’s not to late to grab a unique, personalized gift for a loved one!

Maine boasts some of the most gorgeous scenery, nature, and outdoor splendor of most of the country. On the edge of Moosehead Lake, Maine’s largest lake, sits The Birches Resort: the perfect place to enjoy your Maine wilderness vacation and the wonder of nature.

Like many of our recent WordPress launches, The Birches has the ability to update their website quickly and easily, with no need for HTML knowledge.

Why do we love WordPress so much? Not only is it easy to update, but it’s great for SEO. An easy-to-crawl platform, you can quickly update and change pages on a whim (perhaps incorporating new keywords), use the helpful SEO plugins, and even incorporate a blog.

Unlike other resorts, The Birches has a myriad of wonderful winter activities including snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and so much more. Book your winter excursion at The Birches today!

Flyte recently launched another WordPress website, this one for Goldbelt Tours, a company equipped with the entire Juneau Alaska experience: hotel, marina, excursions, and even a tramway!

Unlike many other websites, Goldbelt’s can boast pictures actually taken in the area. Not only that, but with WordPress, any of the Goldbelt employees can update the website at any time. [Needless to say, gorgeous photos, a great new design, and the ease of WordPress made my job pretty easy.]

There were a few things we could do though. Local search was the name of the game here; as well as taking advantage review (and partially social) websites like TripAdvisor.

While the flyte crew wasn’t able to venture to the beautiful Juneau ourselves, if you’re ever in the need for a beautiful stay, somewhere to dock your yacht, or just some exciting Alaskan adventures, give Goldbelt Tours a call.
