 Why All the Search Engine Secrecy?The search engines try to be good at keeping their methods of ranking websites top-secret. You never quite know exactly why such-and-so company wound up in the #1 slot and your company is way down on page 3. You wonder if it's because the search engines like it better. Or because it knows the secret handshake. So, you start doing research Keep Your Logo SimpleThe job of your logo is to communicate what your business is all about in an instant. But if you try to say too much in that instant, it's more likely that your clients and prospects will either not get the message at all or that they'll get the wrong message The 5 Jobs of Your Logo's Color PalettePicking colors for your logo can be difficult. Just how do you go about choosing appropriate colors? Everyone has favorite colors, and many people also have colors they hate. But, whether or not you personally like a color actually has little to do with its appropriateness for your business's brand. You should make your choices based on the colors that will best perform the color palette's jobs. Getting Your Website Noticed by the Search EnginesYou've just launched your website, marking the end of a huge effort and the beginning of a whole new way of doing business. Now, all you have to do is sit back and wait for visitors to flood in, right? But, people have to know your site's there in order to visit. So you go over to Google and search on your field to find your business. You don't see anything on the first few pages. The 4 Jobs of Your Logo FontMany entrepreneurs think that the font for their business name is like a trophy wife The 6 Jobs of Your Logo's IconThis is a case of the icon's job description not being well written. In a perfect world, entrepreneurs love their logo icons Designing Temporary Materials to Get You Through a Branding EmergencyWhat if your urgent problem is that you have no marketing materials for your business? Having something to market your business with is better than nothing. In some cases, it might even help you get to the next step in your brand. Branding is Like a Fairy Tale..It may not seem like the story of Little Red Riding Hood has much of a parallel to your business's brand. But, a good brand can be a lot like a story. Instead of being a story of a little girl going on a journey, and overcoming different challenges, the brand is the story of how you take your customer from just learning about your business to becoming a customer. How to Avoid Having Two Separate Businesses to Market Even if You Offer Two ServicesI get a lot of questions from small business owners who have two major problems they solve or two services they offer in one business. I'm not really sure why this is so prevalent The Three-part Harmony in Your LogoJust as a harmonized song is made up of a set of three notes, every small business's logo should be made up of three pieces of art: the icon, the font, and the color palette. These three pieces all work together, singing the same basic song, to tell your business's story. In your logo, each of them gives you an opportunity to build in meaning and symbolism.
