The Maine SEO Blog

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.

A few weeks ago, flyte relaunched a WordPress website for SelectDwelling: a site that lists long-term home rentals in the Southwest Florida area.

The premise is simple: there’s a space for renters and a space for owners. Through some pretty extensive programming, the owners are able to create their own account, upload photos, add information – the whole nine yards.

Then, when a renter looks in a specific town, that property comes up in the search results. [There are more fantastic programming morsels that my marketing mind cannot grasp, you'll simply need to try it out for yourself.]

From a search standpoint, there’s an issue (as there often is with dynamically created content): how can we help individual listing pages rank better? Why, with a blog of course!

So if you’re planning on heading to South West Florida for an extended stay, be sure to check out SelectDwelling for the perfect long term rental and great things to do while there!

Flyte recently relaunched a website for a local Bed & Breakfast that we converted onto a WordPress platform. The Elms Bed & Breakfast, located in Greater Portland, is a gorgeous little Inn right on the riverbank in Westbrook, Maine.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the owner, Scott Balfour, who’s shared many wonderful stories on his new blog: mainly covering tales of the trials and tribulations of being an Innkeeper.

Scott has already seen the benefits of being on WordPress – with the ability to update his site (and blog) whenever he pleases. For the benefit of his guests, this means that Scott can upload up-to-date photos of every room.

So if you’re looking for a great place to stay in Southern Maine – with all that’s exciting in Portland, with the peaceful ambiance of Maine – look no further than the Elms Bed & Breakfast. If you’re looking to convert your website to a WordPress Platform, look no further than flyte.

Earlier this week, flyte relaunched a new site for Acadia Center for English Immersion – courses for learning English as a second language. After a redesign, SEO, Web marketing, and finally relaunch…I must say, it’s a beautiful website.

As far as the SEO portion was concerned, I had my first experience with internationally optimizing. It soon became clear that folks who want to learn English as a foreign language aren’t altogether familiar with Maine. How bizarre.

What did we do? We quickly found out that international searchers look for things like “english courses USA” or “learn english united states”. At the same time, it was important to not forget local search, as some students do come from the New England area.

So, if you’re in need of English lessons – be it to master English as a second language or simply to remaster it as a first language – look no further than Acadia Center for English Immersion! Check out Acadia Center on Twitter and Facebook too. And if you need help optimizing on an international level, look no further than flyte.
