Areas Served Page. Link Service to Place for Great Search Engine Results

The areas served page is a great new addition that came into being early in 2010. The idea is to make the link strongly between your product or service and the place in which you offer it. You can be really specific about what you do where in this way, and the background information really helps the search engines put you in front of the people there who will be in the market for what you do. In turn this will save you time through not having to explain to people at the other end of the country that they are too far away for you to ?pop round and give a quote?.

Each area record consists of introductory text, a bullet list of services, another bullet list of postcode areas included, names of key conurbations within the area, up to 10,000 words of text and a keynote image. This goes on to create a specific homepage for each area listed, which highlights what you do for the people there.

Abenhall is a tiny, ancient village in a secluded quiet valley near Mitcheldean. The parish includes the settlement of Plump Hill, on the Mitcheldean to Cinderford Road as it climbs into the high Forest.

Once part of the Westbury Hundred (which was known as Dene at the time of the 1086 Doomsday book) Abenhall is on the Flaxley to Mitcheldean Road. Originally a mining and iron making centre, it is notable for its 14th century Church of St Michael, which is built of local red sandstone and has excellent contemporary carvings relating to the Forest of Dean's industries. These include a shield bearing the arms of the Freeminers on the west wall and the fabulous mid -15th century octagonal font, that has tools of miners and metalworkers incised on its St Michaels at Abenhall sides.

St. Michael's Church - originally built as a chapel of ease, the church was expanded in the 14th century to include nave, south aisle and tower. The arms of the Freeminers can be seen on the south side of the tower and on the 18th century font. St. Michael's Church - Abenhall is 1.5 km south of Mitcheldean and is set in beautiful surroundings on the edge of the Forest. Old Parish baptism, marriage and burial registers, from 1596, are stored at the Gloucestershire Record Office.

Wedensday Website Workshops

OK, so your website is up and running, all you have to do now is sit back and wait for the calls, right? Well, not exactly. Like any form of advertising, your web site needs to be promoted and managed. The message needs to be fresh, topical, powerful and in the public eye.

This takes effort. It takes imagination. It takes forethought and consideration. Luckily, there is a lot you can do yourself, particularly with Webinthebox® that can help to keep the wheels turning without spending a fortune.

In order to help this process, you can now join in an online masterclass in 12 modules based on real questions asked by real customers over the 20 years of Websmithery here. Each module lasts an hour and delegates will be provided with course material to act as an aide memoire as well as a 'homework' assignment each week, with online assessment and advice.

Are you a morning person, or an evening person? With only five spaces per workshop available, you can choose a time of day that best suits your workload. There will be a slot in normal business hours, and a slot in the early evening after work, so you can choose which group to join according to the shape of your day.

Give us the tools and we will finish the job Every module includes a recommended list of resources and tools to help you. Most of these are available free online, and are the tools that we use ourselves in the Websmithy. You don't have to spend a fortune to get reliable, easy to use, fast software.

Modules based on real world needs Over the years here at the Websmithy, a strong pattern of what our customers want to know about managing their online presence has been established. By going back over the answers to questions and concerns, the following list of modules has been created to provide the most relevant and important information.

From small snippets to major new items, Newsletters can hold a wealth of useful stuff. Webintheox? newsletter files can hold up to 20 stories per page with a header, up to 10,000 words per story, an image and choice of layout. Add to that a header graphic, text intro and footer, and you have a huge capacity for news. New this month is automatic date selection, so that you can work on a number of newsletters at once, the previous one being replaced with the current when the due date is reached. To keep you closer to your markets, you can also mail out a version of the newsletter to your entire online database or just a highly selected few. Better still, all of your old newsletters are available to read from the archive, which means that they are all indexed by the search engines so you keep on getting recognition for your work even when the new edition is published.
