Search Engine Optimization

At NIMMP we always have Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in mind when we are building a website. We realize that while search engines won't replace traditional marketing techniques like advertisments, press releases or good old fashion networking. We also realize that search engines provide a free source of advertising and traffic for your website.

That is why we have created the "On the First Page™(OTFP)" SEO solution. Using a combination of the most successful Search Engine Optimization techniques we have developed a formula that ensures you are On the First Page™. OTFP is a proven method that works quickly, effectively and stands the test of time.

Have a look at how our website site ranks on Google.

We have picked the keywords

as keywords we would like our website to show up when those keywords are typed into a search engine. Our ranking is usually in the top 5 for these keywords.

Some other words we optimize for are:

  • Comox Valley Wildlife
    Our newest site that showcases wildlife and viewing spots in the Comox Valley
  • Comox Valley Directory
    I project we worked on with Comox Valleylinks to create a business and community directory for the Comox Valley.
  • Comox Valley EventsAn events calendar that includes special events and functions as well as monthly meetings and clubs.
  • Comox Valley Professional Organizer
    This is a great example of how there is more to SEO than keywords. This site has not been optimized for keywords yet. You will notice that it is not number one but the professional organizer Alison Roberts is in most links on the first page. This is an example of how networking and link backs can get you noticed on google without having your actual site in the top postioin
