Free website builders are great if you want to share pictures of your cat with grandma. When you operate a small business, controlling your brand is a must. When you host with and use these free website builders like Rhymes with Six, for your business, you lose control of your brand message from the very start.

Further, most of these free website builders are ad supported. This means that other companies ads will be shown on your website. You will have no control over this. Great for your competitor. Not so much for you.

These companies will offer to upgrade you to your own domain name and remove the ads. They will also sell you hosting on their server for an inflated price. If you want to save money and build your own website, at least purchase your hosting from a reputable company and use the sitebuilder software included in your control panel. You’ll do just as well and save money. If you choose a host that offers one click WordPress installation, even better.

Brand optimization is the art of controlling information about your business. Your brand is not just your logo and trademarks. It is how you communicate to customers. Everything you do in your business is part of your brand. It all matters.

Where many small business owners fall short with their brand messaging is on the internet. There are numerous review and business information platforms across the web. They are providing information about your business which may not be accurate. Customers may leave reviews and if you are not aware of these platforms, you may not even know there is a problem.

Brand Optimization Solutions

Homestead Digital Media Services will help you find these platforms and use them to your advantage. By claiming your business on platforms like Yelp, Google Business, and Facebook Local you will connect with more new customers and strengthen your relationship with loyal customers. We will perform an audit of the most relevant platforms to your business, and then assist you in claiming and updating these pages so they work for you.
