Being at the Right Place at the Right Time

The Right Place is the Internet.
The Right Time is When Someone is Looking for You

Call 231.271.6483 to Learn More About known.com Web Page Services.

It Used to Be:

Target Your Market
Let Your Market Target You Back.

Not any more.
Today, your market is looking for you first, on the internet. Forty-three percent of internet users are actively searching for product information according to the USC Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future.

Are they finding your business?
Are they finding your website?

Does your web presence and the information directing prospects to your website appear in the top search engine results rendered?

Are you providing enough information to prospects about your business, products and services for them to consider becoming a customer of yours? Even more important, do you know the words prospects use to find you?

Don't know where to begin, what questions to ask, or what you need?

You are not alone.

Do you need a website or simply a "web presence?"
The community of web pages on known.com began with a local business owner. As owners of rental properties in a resort community they had traditional listings with the local Chamber of Commerce and in the local phone books. But the listings were not enough because callers continuously asked, "Do you have a website so I can look at what you have?" Today's consumers expect more of businesses. They expect some form of an internet web presence.

Building a Web Presence
During a discussion we identified their need for a web presence, an electronic brochure with pictures and information about their waterfront rentals, rates, local attractions, and contact information. Nothing complicated, just an effective and easy solution which eliminated their concerns about how to build a website, find a host, make updates, and any unforeseen expenses.

The Web Page Solution
We built a web page for them rich with "complicated simplicity!" Complicated because the entire web page is optimized for search engines, and simplicity because the web page presents the search-engine-friendly information about their business in a simple, easy-to-read format. Visitors know immediately what their business is about, complete with pictures of the properties, and most importantly, contact information is provided to make reservations for their next vacation.

This Known Community Web Page is working for them. Every day, all day. Their occupancy rates have increased. And because we have learned how their prospects are searching for them we've made it easier for their business to be found on the internet. We can do this for you too.

Does it really matter how they get there, just so long as they show up?

The Website Wraparound™ Solution - A new type of web page
We were approached by another business owner with an existing e-commerce website. His website wasn't ranking on the search engines. When asked if we could do anything to help make this website rank higher we came up with another idea, another concept, another solution: The Website Wraparound™.

The thought process was simple. "Does it really matter how they get there, just so long as they show up?" So we took "one step backwards" and built another entirely new type of web page, still informative and easy to read, and yet totally optimized for the search engines with direct links to the specific products we wrote about. The previously non-ranking website is now generating sales and repeat customers for the website owner.

"I had a web site built and it isn't doing a thing for my business."
If you have ever said those words then The Website Wraparound™ is a perfect solution for you. Every project needs a little boost, a little push to get it moving along. If you have a free-standing website which is not appearing in search engine results The Website Wraparound solution will bring prospects to a web page about you with direct links to specific and targeted areas of your website. If you have an under-performing e-commerce site The Website Wraparound solution will direct traffic to your products, and to your shopping cart.

It's All About the Words

More Than a Link - The Power of an Opening Paragraph
Based on the complexity of your own business and website activity, sometimes all that is needed to catch the eye and interest of an internet browser might be a content-rich Opening Paragraph about your business and products. These cost-effective and yet powerful and descriptive paragraphs are another known step along the path of customers looking for you.

Using a known.com Website Wraparound™, Web Page, or a content-rich descriptive Opening Paragraph are three different ways of making your business known to your customers.

It is not magic. We write descriptive content about you, and your business. And every web page we create is optimized for high rankings on the search engines.

Local is a Matter of Geography

Our web pages have been very successful in our local market. And then we realized that the local market is wherever you are, too. The principles are the same, regardless of your location. It doesn't matter if you are in Suttons Bay, Michigan or St. Simons Island, Georgia, local is a simple matter of geography.

You've got the business
We've got the words
The internet has your customers

known.com brings them all together, working for you, making your business known on the internet.

We would be happy to have your business be a part of the Known Community.

Suttons Bay Fireworks Light the Night Sky over Suttons Bay

The children giggled, laughed, cheered and clapped their hands as they oohed and aahed with every rapidly-launched firework exploding into the night sky over Suttons Bay. The temperature was perfect. The wind was still, and the Big Dipper and other stars in the sky dimmed a bit while the show was in progress. It was a beautiful show like no other show, because it was a show for the children. Just for them.

Multiple boats of varied sizes were anchored in the bay forming a scenic backdrop for those watching from shore. Suttons Bay Marina Park was full and everyone was gathered in their lawn chairs and on their blankets chatting with their friends and neighbors, nibbling on assorted picnic snacks while listening to the excellent music provided by HURST and other local musical talents taking advantage of an Open Mic Night. Jess Hammersley worked tirelessly to assure a perfect sound was carried to the entire crowd.

As usual the crowd was very generous with their donations when the "hat was passed" in support of this annual Suttons Bay Chamber of Commerce Labor Day Event.

A huge thanks extended to the wonderful and generous crowd for making the event a success with their attendance, and to everyone who has thrown their dollar bills and loose change into jars located around the village. Thanks to all the Suttons Bay merchants and business owners who made donations to make this special evening happen. Many thanks to Lois Bahle of Bahle's of Suttons Bay for her leadership and dedication to the event, to Jackie Morrison of the Business Helper for all the great posters and handouts, for arranging the Open Mic night, to Dennis Grant of Camelot Construction and Development for donating the use of their portable stage for the live music performances, to Gary Galusky of Little Finger Auctions for delivering posters and handouts and coordinating the fireworks while working with the local merchants to round out the many donations, and to Jim and Linda Munro, Korner Kottage Bed and Breakfast, for being the driving force to make this event a reality for the children (of all ages) from Suttons Bay and the surrounding communities.

A sincere and heartfelt thank you, to each and every one of you who contributed and made this a successful and wonderful end-of-summer event for our local community.

We're glad you came. We're thrilled you enjoyed the show!
