The Maine SEO Blog

A while back, we relaunched a website for Reflection Films, a video production company in Boston who specializes in marketing, fundraising, and training videos.

Reflection Films already had a website before they came to us, but weren’t able to edit it like they wanted to. We took their existing design and converted it to a WordPress platform, where Rachel and Geoff now have the ability to edit content to their hearts’ desire.

We also created a blog for Reflection Films which, as we’ve talked about in the past, is great for SEO. Since they specialize in video, they’re pros when it comes to video SEO and have written quite a few posts on SEO at their blog already, including: keyword research and video optimization and optimizing video for websites.

They’ve also recently joined Facebook, so make sure you like them there!

If you need help creating a professional marketing or fundraising video, give Reflection Films a call. If you want the ability to edit and update your website, then give flyte a call.

Recently, flyte launched the new and improved website for Maine Huts & Trails, your source for outdoor adventure in Maine. Like Rich, I was under the impression that “huts” meant some sort of cabin like I was used to vacationing in as a kid in the wilds of West Virginia (if you call that kind of thing a vacation).

Fear not, my electricity-loving friends, Maine Huts & Trails has truly amazing accommodations, from luxurious furnishings to home cooked meals. Plus, there’s a ton to do outside the hut – no matter the season – and with all the snow this winter, you’ve got to check it out!

Maine Huts also offers great resources, from their ski and trail report to their blog, where you’ll find such gems like the history of Maine cross country skiing, information on the ski marathon, and more on their locally-sourced kitchens. The folks from MH&T are also on Twitter and Facebook – so be sure to follow them there!

Recently, we helped the Inn at St. John, a pet-friendly bed and breakfast in downtown Portland, Maine, with their online visibility. We designed the Inn’s site several years ago, but they decided it was high time to also increase their web presence.

The Inn offers many types of rooms – from value to traditional to luxury; all just a short walk from Portland’s amenities and a short drive from Maine’s best winter vacation destinations (summer, too!). With some great content on the site – and we know that content is king – the Inn at St. John is already working towards more online visibility.

They’re also just getting their Facebook fan page up and running so be sure to ‘like’ them there.

We recently finished a project for Camp Runoia, an all girls sleepaway camp in Belgrade, Maine. Young ladies from all over the United States – and the world – come to Camp Runoia for a few weeks out of the summer, where they’ll experience everything from swimming to horseback riding.

Like many local businesses, local search is incredibly important for Camp Runoia. Claiming their Google Place page was one of the first steps, where the directors are now able to upload images of the girls at camp, videos, and more to keep interest with current customers and showcase the camp for potential customers:

During the camp season, it’s a little difficult for the busy staff to keep up, but you can keep in touch via Facebook.
