A beautiful new website for Beautiful Homes UK

A referral from our business partners GotopSEO, Deal based Beautiful Homes UK already had a website but there was a problem, it was a Wix website! OK, what’s the problem with a Wix website i hear you say? Well you can ask co-director Cian O’Hanlon, he built it. The age old problem with any of the cloud web template packages is the Google SEO, it sucks! Do not expect a ‘catch all’ design process like Wix to work with Google, no chance, Google is very selective about how it caches data from website, that’s why we built the Beautiful Homes UK website (and all other web clients) using WordPress.

QDF Google algorithm puts OHM clients on page 1

OHM have been aware of the Google QDF algorithm for some time and used it to delivery page 1 national search status for clients i the past.

The power of back links

A few years ago back links to your web pages from directories and other larger websites were the best way to get your website top of Google. In fact a lot of investment went into link building and link farming, a truly global and lucrative business. Then, overnight Google said NO! Google was placing websites on its search engine results pages (SERPs) in order of popularity, that popularity was assessed on back links, the more back links, the more popular you are and if the back link was from a rated web address you got even more of a boost. So you can see why link building became a bit...

What words get a no result on Google searches, the !! story

There aren’t many searches that result in “Your search did not match any documents” on Google and as the worlds biggest search engine refines its search algorithms it’s unlikely to be beaten – or is it? Many years ago in the early days of search engine optimisation development we discovered that the first letter of the keyboard alphabet is not an ‘A’ as we all assume, but ‘!’ – the exclamation mark. With this knowledge it was easy to trick simple search engines if we used the exclamation mark as part of the title or reference text cached by the search database. For example we were top of all searches...

Web design and SEO client sales increase over 400%

We’ve just received a sales income update from a client retailing medical trade stationery showing a 400% increase on product sales over the past 12 month. We converted the site to a Google mobile friendly (responsive) web design 5 years ago and as you can see there’s almost a 50:50 split on device platform use. This confirms Google’s decision to enforce and punish any websites not conforming to their ‘responsive’ requirements and condones our move many years ago away from traditional web page design to WordPress responsive web design. The increased sales over a 12 month period would be the envy of many on-line sales companies. This has been achieved...

New website for Ivy

Neil Carrington contacted Oast House Media earlier in the month requesting a WordPress upgrade for his old static page design (Garden Services) plus a new 4 page website for his new business – Ivy Removal. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of removing ivy from your property you will know it is a gardeners nightmare, but did you know it’s poisonous? It’s also very difficult to completely eradicate, leave one tiny bit of the plant and in the right conditions it will grow back. That’s why Neil identified this niche area in the gardening services market and requested the new website, complimenting the existing services already offer on the main...
