The Google Search Engine helps you find things on the internet. Without a search engine you would have to know and type in the address of every website that you want to visit. The search engine helps you find websites by using the keywords that you type into the search bar.

How does Google know where my website is?

Google sends out robots that travel all over the internet, think of them like map makers, creating a large map of all the websites on the internet and where they are, including your website. They find websites by following links. An important way to ensure that your website pages are found by Google is to include a website site map on your website. The site map has links to all your pages so that Google will index them (map them) for you.

Do you have a website that you need help or advice with?

Chances are good that you already have a website. Maybe you have forgotten about it, are neglecting it, are ashamed that you have it, don't want anyone to know the address, or you use it regularly, but it just doesn't quite do what you want it to. I have had clients come to me with all of those listed, and more. It doesn't matter what type of website you have, or how good it is, there will be times when you have to ask someone for a little help or advice.

The reason for professional advice

Over the past number of years I have been doing my own accounting. For me it is a challenge, I don't understand accounting 100%, I'm a web designer, that is what I do, but I can do accounting basics. Even thought I can do the basics several times a year I will go to my accountant and go over my books with her, ask her questions, get feedback and improve my system. Why do I do that? Why do I seek professional advice? It keeps me on track, keeps me up to date with industry standards, gives me peace of mind, and saves me money. If my accounting is incorrect, my accountant catches it, and gets me back on the right track. This saves me both time and money.
