Northern Virginia SEO Services available to businesses and organizations are proliferating quite quickly, due primarily to the increased exposure of the business value of Internet Marketing to local and regional businesses. Northern Virginia in particular is a hotbed of internet technology and online internet application awareness, with its concentration of Federal Government technology-savvy contracting staff and organizations, and the influx of younger generations liberally using and developing social media applications focused on the Obama administration’s focus on open government and green industrial policies. However, when searching for SEO Services in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland or frankly any other metropolitan region as a business or organization, there are several extremely important characteristics of both your business need, and your Northern Virginia SEO services provider to keep in mind. In particular, 5 critical disciplines are essential to look for and hire in your Northern Virginia Internet Marketing, SEO, SEM or PPC services provider. Don’t fall into the trap of doing one without the other, or hiring a service provider who claims to provide all 5 – but either doesn’t deliver or is simply too new or inexperienced to offer these.

Business MUST consider and execute on ALL 4 services, to be guaranteed some level of success. After reading below, contact KME Internet Marketing for more information.

(1) DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia Online Web Design and Branding – this is what your website looks like, how useful and effective it is for users to navigate, whether it meets usability and accessibility standards, the logos and branding elements, the colors, graphics and pictures, and the smart, integrated use of multimedia like videos or podcasts.

This service truly provides the “front window” to your business, and helps keep and convert interested customers who find and come to your site – whether via traditional computers of through mobile devices.

Many companies focus ONLY on this, and while claiming to deliver the other 3 services below, quite often are ineffective or simply inexperienced in these other areas. Test this out – check out the Google Page Rank of the websites that web design companies have in their portfolio – more times than not, it’s quite low. Look at the “title” of the website at the top of the browser window – does it speak to the core products or services offered? Try this test on the actual Northern Virginia SEO Services provider you’re considering – it’s quite interesting how many times a seeming “expert” doesn’t seem to execute the basics for their own business.

(2) Northern Virginia SEO Services, Search Engine Marketing and Social Media Optimization – this is how you attract customers to your website, using all kinds of techniques from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to Social Media Optimization and Marketing, Blogging and Pay-Per-Click.

This service actually delivers the “right” customers to your website and business, through many Internet channels including search, advertising, directories, social media, micro-blogging/alerts and news/press releases or communications. Channels also obviously include references and reviews about the target website, whether as user-provided comments or corporate-supplied backlinks. This service also includes management of marketing and advertising campaigns, along with analysis and tracking of web traffic statistics and website use. Keeping track of your website traffic and demographics, from BOTH your website’s perspective AND the perspective of referring sites or services (like RSS feeds, emails, Twitter, etc.)is an extremely important skillset Northern Virginia SEO service providers need to demonstrate. Providers with certifications, such as a “Certified Google Adwords Professional” are ones to seek with superior skills in business and marketing analytics.

This MUST be done by experienced professionals, with controlled systems-engineering style methods, in parallel with web design/build efforts – without experienced service here, no one will ever see your great website, and your company branding, communciations efforts and web design money will have been wasted. This includes Internet AND “offline” marketing coordination and experience.

(3) Northern Virginia Web Technology and Hosting – this includes the underlying technology platforms, telecommunications, security, storage, operations/help desk and programming required to run your website, from the eCommerce or Shopping Cart applications your website uses to the availability, recoverability, performance, reliability, privacy and security requirements your your website and business needs. It’s the computer Hardware, Software and Operations/Maintenance (O&M) needed to successfully run a great website. Very experienced Northern Virginia SEO Service providers will maintain significant professional alliances with reputable Internet Service Providers (ISPs) with long track records of success, particularly for online businesses with significant online marketing and application management needs.

This also MUST also be done by experienced professionals, in parallel with web design/build efforts. What’s extremely important about this particular service offering and capability, however, is that you retain professional advice and services for the #4 critical service, below.

(4) Northern Virginia Marketing and Advertising Communications and Copywriting – this is perhaps the clearest differentiator between an experienced and successful Northern Virginia SEO services provider and any other SEO services provider one might find looking for really cheap and turnkey answers. Good writing skills take a long time to develop and tune, especially when the writing assignments frequently range across many diverse subject areas and publishing contexts. Writing articles is very different than blogging or twittering, and Facebook updates are not approached the same as LinkeInd entries…plus, the source, content, placement and links to/from the content will vary a lot depending on other contextual or semantic factors – perhaps the time of week, the style/reach of the publisher, the volume of material or the sophistication and target demographic of the intended readers. Not only does writing style and content need to be crafted for the reader, but also obviously for the automated search engine ‘bots, whose algorithms regarding inference and interpretation of content can be quite different, in different circumstances. This kind of writing prowess, using impeccable American English for regions like Northern Virginia and metro Washington DC, is a significantly unique trait to KME Internet Marketing, and most certainly not found through outsourcing to overseas SEO factories or providers without professional writers on staff.

The copywriting, composition and communications skills of a Northern Virginia SEO services provider can be very quickly determined through survey of online dialogue, blogging, postings, articles and other material supplied by the provider, in addition to the material presented in a proposal or services statement. Look also to check out the online authorship and reputation of your service provider’s staff – it they write great elsewhere, they’ll write fabulously for you.

(5) Northern Virginia Information Technology (IT) Management – this is the MOST critical element of your website implementation, and is MOST frequently where website efforts fall short, expectations aren’t met, and lots of money and time is wasted. Most Washington DC or Northern Virginia SEO service providers actually fall far short in this criteria, their businesses being run by web designers, programmers or “johnnie-come-lately” SEO experts – who simply don’t have the career experience, project management or Information Technology industry knowledge to successfully launch, market and maintain your business presence on the Internet, at a regional or global scale.

An experienced Information Technology Project Manager should be provided by your Northern Virginia SEO services provider to help plan, manage and coordinate the efforts of all website and Internet presence design, development, operations, marketing and promotion activities. The Technology Project Manager should be experienced with BOTH “Technical Project Management” (i.e. making sure the resources, schedule, services and financing are all aligned, for the project and with your other company activities), AND “Internet and New MediaTechnologies” (i.e. in-depth knowledge of the kinds of technologies and services being used for Internet-sourced websites and applications, including their risks, standards, best practices and availability of 3rd-party options). The Technology Project Manager will be well-versed in social media tools and techniques, multi-media digital asset management and optimization, newly available and useful sources and services for website optimization and management, “buzz” and important information regarding your presence, offerings or technologies within the Internet user and technologist communities, and many other elements available and utilized by all successful businesses with online presence and solution offerings.

This kind of experience is MOST OFTEN the “missing link” to a successful website, and great return on your Internet Technology and Marketing investment (ROI).



This kind of experience is KME Internet Marketing of Virginia’s greatest and most unique strength – Senior Technology Project Managers at affordable prices with BOTH regional Internet marketing and social media expertise AND decades of successful Internet systems engineering, architecture and online marketing experience with Globally-recognized firms, including EDS, IBM, Price-Waterhouse Coopers, and Accenture. This critical Information Technology Management and Northern Virginia SEO experience is highly unique, extremely valuable, and typically NOT available (ask them!) from:



local web design and graphic firms;

outsourced and offshore website development companies;

Audio/Visual design and production companies;

freelance designers, programmers or copywriters;

traditional advertising, marketing and PR companies;

brand new local SEO companies; and/or

ISPs/Domain Name registrars.



This critical Information Technology Project Management, Digital Asset Optimization and Internet Systems Engineering experience IS available here, at KME Internet Marketing and Partners.

To conclude, when hiring a Washington DC, Southern and Suburban Maryland, Northern Virginia SEO services provider, be sure to take seriously into account the five principle differentiators discussed in this article – for maximum return on your investment (ROI), lowest total cost of ownership (TCO), best management and maintenance of your professional and/or corporate reputation, and overall most satisfying and profitable long-lasting relationship and experience.

One additional point – does your Northern Virginia SEO Services provider have a solid and distinct community reputation, participating not only in philanthropic and community service events, but contributing to the local business and nonprofit environment – basically, do they “give back”?  In our new era of “green is good” and “give forward”, providers like KME Internet Marketing who offer free Internet Marketing for nonprofits, run community blogs and directories (like Gateway to Loudoun County and Dulles South Online), support specific, family-friendly regional community service organizations (like Paws4People) and are active in local business community events and services (like Loudoun County, Fairfax and Dulles Chambers of Commerce) are the ones to take special note of, and work most closely with.

The Internet has emerged to be a very useful medium of our times, having uses and applications that are changing with each passing day. There are many businesses that are using the Internet to establish their ecommerce activities and sell their products and services to a larger cross-section of people from across the world. Internet marketing techniques such as search engine optimization is gaining in importance for driving the right kind of traffic to specific web sites. In Internet marketing, a wide variety of methods and techniques are being used creatively and with definite results. So, given this scenario, is there any need for podcasting?

But before we go any further, we need to be clear as to what podcasting is.  Podcasting gets its name from the Apple iPod. But one does not have to own an iPod to create a podcast or listen to one. Podcasting is nothing but online media delivery, wherein selected audio files are published via the Internet. The users can subscribe through RSS feeds to receive the podcasts automatically. It is like owning your own radio station, and you are free to create your own online talk show. It is not a new technology; it is only that more and more people are now interested in this technology than ever before. More and more business owners are creating their own podcasts and using the same to strengthen their search engine optimization techniques.

The possibilities of using podcasting in the realm of Internet marketing are quite endless. One can use this medium to promote his or her products and services or acquaint the users to the launch of a new and exciting range. The podcasts can also be used to teach some special skills and connect with target audience more effectively. The appeal of a human voice is any day better than text advertisements; people can relate to the same and associate themselves with the products or the services that are being promoted.

It makes sense to use podcasting in Internet marketing with many people downloading a podcast and that too in different age groups. Apart from the tech savvy youths of today, individuals in the age group of 50 and above have also shown their preference for podcasts. These results are the outcomes of recent research; another interesting fact that has come up is that the people subscribing to RSS feeds to listen to podcasts belong to high income groups in most instances. This means that they are more likely to make purchases online.

One can use podcasting to reach out to a global client base in a cost effective manner. Small business owners can make the most of this new technology to reach out and increase the scope of their businesses. Individual can download podcasts and listen to them as and when they want to. The listeners can enjoy the podcasts when they are in a mood to do so; this ensures that they are more receptive to the product or the idea being talked about in the podcast and would take in the information in a positive frame of mind.

Common online business promotion strategies like article distribution, press release distribution and blog marketing have helped many online businesses towards success  through greater awareness, more visitors and increased sales. As computer processors have got faster and bandwidth has expanded, so has the ability for people to be even more creative with their promotional strategies, for example, by using audio. As a result of this, podcasting has exploded in popularity in recent years.

What is Podcasting?

Although it’s increasingly popular, the term ‘podcast’ may still seem strange to many people. Podcasting is essentially online audio broadcasting. However, unlike with traditional media, a podcast is able to be syndicated, subscribed to and downloaded automatically when new content is added to a website. The added advantage with podcasts, is that they can be listened to using portable media players, including the iPod.

Initially, podcasting was used to distribute radio-style shows. However, today, podcasting can involve distributing school lessons, audio tours, alerts and updates, announcements of product launches, product demonstrations and service explanations.

Podcasting and Business

People familiar with online marketing will be aware that business blogging can be an effective marketing tool to create online visibility, extend brand awareness and reach a large targeted audience. Adding podcasting to blogging and other marketing channels can bring a positive impact an online (and offline) business. Podcasting adds a dynamic element to pure text or images on a blog page; listening to someone talking can bring a page to life and is a powerful way to gain customers and potential clients’ loyalty.

One very useful way to put podcasts to good use is by offering your listeners short audio messages in an email course. Unlike email messages or newsletters, podcasts allow listeners to stream the audio while doing other tasks. You can also record live seminars or edit interesting excerpts as sound files to upload to a blog, where listeners who have subscriptions can listen to the podcast.

Podcasts could be distributed to a number of websites to increase visibility in search engine results. This SEO strategy is called Podcast distribution.

Although podcasting is not a complete alternative to newsletters, direct mail campaigns, teleseminars and the like, it can be used as a complimentary marketing tool to add to the marketing mix, with the aim of maximizing your business’ potential online.

DAO (Digital Asset Optimization); with the acronym DAO floating around everywhere these days it might lead you to wonder; is DAO replacing search engine optimization? The answer is no, in fact DAO can best be described as the evolution of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), SEO isn’t dead, but it is rapidly evolving. Over the past few years emphasis has shifted from a focus on “on page elements” to the off-site criteria. It began with Google’s PageRank. PageRank is defined as a link analysis algorithm that assigns a numerical weighting to a website, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance on the World Wide Web (wikipedia.com 02/12/08). In simpler terms, Google counts every external link to a website as a vote for that website, it also measures how relevant each one of those voting websites is to the content of the linked website; in essence we are measuring the popularity of a website. What does PageRank have to do with DAO? DAO is all about moving the focus of our optimization efforts from the text on a page to more relevant assets of a website regardless of where that takes us. It is about helping the searcher find the most relevant website based on the criteria and content that is important to them, not just the text on a page.

The bottom line is that companies must figure out how to best adjust their Internet marketing strategy, which includes but is not limited to website optimization (SEO), paid search (SEM), email marketing, Web 2.0 & social media optimization, link building, and affiliate marketing strategies to maintain a competitive advantage. The best way to achieve this is to focus the right balance of your resources on standard text optimization as well as the optimization and promotion of all other digital assets. You might be asking yourself – when is it the right time to start making this shift? The answer is simple – right now! The search engines already have their systems in place to measure the relevancy of a website’s digital assets and they are constantly focusing on improving these systems and making them a more prevalent part of their search systems. The only question is how long it will take for the users to fully realize that they have these resources at their disposal.

Both Google’s Universal Search and the new Ask3D interface show users more information from more sources (news, images, products, video, etc) in the first page of results than we have ever seen before. This shift in how search engines present the search results illustrates the need to consider more media types than standard text documents. The growth of Universal search means the kinds of search results SEO consultants have become accustomed to and have been optimizing for are either on the way out or on the decline. Figuring out new ways to optimize any electronic file that can be crawled, indexed, categorized and sorted is where the opportunity lies. This is about a lot more than just optimizing social media, it’s about “the big picture”, having the ability to optimize the Internet as a whole, making all content easier to find via search rather than simply having to rely on the text within the website. These days it is becoming more common for businesses to produce an array of different content types, and search engines are doing their best to index that content. A search engines success is directly related to its ability to adapt to changes in the market, this means that those of us who use these search engines to market our websites must adapt as well. With such intense competition, and so much money at stake, the leading search providers will continue to make the user experience better thus making it easier to find whatever it is we seek.

The trend in search is shifting from optimizing for a slow, one-dimensional engine, and is moving towards a highly sophisticated integration of elements, including image, video, consumer reviews, social networks, social ratings, podcasts, and much more. This means we must begin to adjust what needs to be optimized from the platform to the actual asset itself. This is what makes DAO the future of Internet marketing. DAO views the platform as merely the vehicle which carries the content directly to the searcher, as opposed to SEO which focuses almost solely on bringing the platform (a website) to the searcher, and waiting (or hoping) for the searcher to discover the content. For example, by understanding how videos can be optimized, a search campaign can be successful on Google or YouTube. We no longer need to use text optimization as the only method to reach potential visitors, all the while hoping that once they arrive the more “sophisticated” content will actually close the deal. So, the future of SEO as defined today is destined to change. The days of success being optimization for 10 text links on a standard results page will be over soon.

So long as billions of people continue to use search engines on a daily basis, there will be progression in the modes of optimization we use to improve a websites visibility to the search engines, helping to enhance their presence on the Internet. Companies need to consider all of the digital assets that they have to work with in order to give both the search engines and the customers the information they’re looking for in the formats they’ll respond to. Optimizing comprehensively starts with an inventory of a company’s digital assets. Text, images, audio and video should all be considered when determining what we need to optimize, we no longer need to wait for the customer to find us through our use of text optimization so we can impress them with our other digital assets. Matching digital assets with channels of distribution provides marketers with even more opportunity to reach customers since each channel can drive traffic independently as well as improve a websites standard search visibility. Digital asset optimization is not just a better definition of the future of search marketing; it is the future of search marketing.
