Here is a list of the 3 most useful WordPress plugins
I use these 3 useful wordpress plugins in most of the WordPress websites I develop and they have made my life so much easier.
First most useful WordPress plugins: Shortcode Ultimate
First off, I love this plugin!! And as the title of the plugin says it is and ‘ULTIMATE’ list of very useful shortcodes. Shortcodes like, sliders, galleries, lists, dropdown menus, accordion tabs, lightbox functions and more.. A lot of more, in fact there a more than 40 of these bad boys, included in this FREE plugin and inserting them into a page couldn’t be easier… You simply click the ‘Insert Shortcode’ button above your WordPress post editor and select the shortcode you would like to use. That’s it!

Second most useful WordPress plugins: Contact Form 7
Number 2 on our list is the Contact Form 7 plugin! This little guy is a really helpful plugin.. It allows you to create simple to very advanced contact forms. All you do to use this plugin is download, install and enter the ‘Contact Form 7 Admin Page’ from the WordPress dashboard. There you can edit and create your contact forms with what ever questions you would like to ask on your contact form for your website. Then you attached the associated shortcode to page you want the contact form to display. This plugin also integrate with a lot of cool tools, including CRMs aka customer relation managers.

Third most useful WordPress plugins: Yoast SEO for WordPress
Last but certainly not least on the list is the Yoast SEO for WordPress plugin. This plugin allows you to easily add SEO search engine optimization to your pages in WordPress. You can see how your SEO looks to search engines and it even ranks your pages from Red to Green. Red being BAD, Yellow being OK, and Green being GOOD!
Local Business Branding? Why is it Important for your Business?
In this article I’m going to go over basics of local business branding and why it is important.. So consider this 101 on this topic.
Branding is a marketing strategy that involves creating a differentiated name and image — often using a logo and/or tag line — in order to establish a presence in the consumer’s mind and attract and keep customers.
A de
What are the benefits and features of your products or services?
What do your customers and prospects already think of your company?
What qualities do you want them to associate with your company?
Easy Link to Get Reviews for Local Business on Google Places, Google Maps, Google My Business
Here is the most simple way to get a link that goes straight to your Google Places Review Form. You can take this link and paste it in an email or put it on your website.
What is Business NAP? And How Can It Help My Ranking on Google?
What is Business NAP Listing, anyway?
Business NAP Information is a rather simple concept but play a major role in your local SEO ranking (ie. Google, Bing, Yahoo). Your N.A.P. information is comprised of your organization’s name, address and phone number. This information is typically listed somewhere on your website (i.e. your contact page) and on other sites such as Yelp or Merchant Circle.
With Google’s more recent emphasis on serving more localized results to searchers, having your N.A.P. information up-to-date and consistent across multiple platforms is key to harnessing its power for local SEO. Each of these N.A.P. listings, whether on your site or another external site, is called a “citation”. Google and other search engines look at these citations to ensure that it’s your legitimate business location and, ultimately, building trust around your business. The more listings you have with the exact same information (i.e. no variations like “St.” versus “Street”), the more trustworthy you’ll appear to Google. Then when someone is performing a geo-targeted search, Google utilizes this information to produce the most relevant, localized results.
Where to Place Business NAP Information
First of all, you’ll want to make sure that Google can “read” your N.A.P. information (a.k.a. it’s crawlable). This means you’ll want to make sure that this information is actual text, not an image with text on it because Google cannot “read” or see images like we do as users.
The placement and look of your N.A.P. information doesn’t have to be fancy. A simple blurb of your name, address and location somewhere on your website (I’d recommend your contact page and/or footer) is sufficient. You can also place this information in your code if you’re using a platform like WordPress, for example, in your footer.php file.
In order to build trust with search engines and boost your local rankings, you’ll also want to get this information on other sites such as online directories and local area sites. The more respected the site (.gov, .edu, etc.), the more SEO juice or points you get with Google. These sites could include the following:

One Way Links: What are they and how can they help your ranking?
One way links are links to your site from other sites who do not receive a backlink from your site.
This tells search engines, like Google, Yahoo and Bing that your website is so important and interesting that other sites want to tell people about it without anything in return.
One-way links are wonderful things to have because they increase your link popularity – the number of pages linking to your site. Search engines such as Google place huge importance on link popularity when ranking your site.

702 Pros (Justin) did my website and logo. And I loved the results! The site looks great the logo looks awesome and it reflects my business image. After he finished with the website, Justin began to help me with internet marketing, social media, business directories and SEO. He helped me get my facebook user engagement up, set up my Google Maps and optimized all my web pages. Since he started, I have had jumps across the board on the web.

So we needed a website and heard wordpress was a good solution for small businesses. We also wanted it to look professional, so we called around to a few places online. And then found these guys. I spoke to Justin, he was wonderful to work with and gave us a free web design mockup that showed us how the website would look. None of the other companies would do that before we paid them. After the site was done, Justin went over the ins and outs of WordPress with us and answered all of our questions I will recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable local Web designer in Las Vegas.
