There are a number of areas where we’ll need access to in order to get started. The following is a list of the areas where we’ll need a username and password depending on the level of work we do and the scope of each project.
As a part of our process we register your business with multiple sites for various reasons including creating social media accounts, for validating web services, and when promoting your business through niche directories. Having access to a shared email address saves us time from having to request that you forward us any pertinent email correspondence. It is preferable that you use a Google account (Gmail) but you can also setup a domain email address for us like firstplanet@yourdomain.ca.
After we have our first conversation and discussion of what you’re looking for, we’ll do a preliminary investigation into your website’s rankings, it’s design, and we’ll put together a proposal for you which will lay out our plans and objectives.
If we’re developing a new website for you we’ll discuss your requirements, wants and needs, explore examples of what type of interface you’re looking for and determine website which features you’ll need. If necessary we’ll take care of your content needs or accept content from you.
These are just general starting points, and all depend on the nature and scope of the project.

Yes. We create and optimize social media pages, and also manage posting your content, and authoring it for you too. We don’t take full control of your social media sites but assign ourselves as team members which gives you the control to post content on your own accord.
That depends. During the keyword research and discovery phase we learn a lot about your business, and we learn more as time passes too. This knowledge helps us better craft posts, page titles and meta descriptions, parts of videos, ad copy and so forth from an SEO and marketing perspective and in line with your business goals.
Some companies prefer to write and publish their own content and in these cases we would review your content for opportunities and then send back to your business for final approval.

There’s almost nothing that we cannot do for you but there are times when certain things need to be done by people who specialize in the service. We have some of the best industry contacts who can take care of work like custom application programming, custom design templates, logo development, app. development and we source and vet expert writers for clients who don’t want to write they’re own content, or the nature of the content is too complex for our writers, i.e. health industry, legal industry.
