If you're a website owner looking to get more traffic from Google (and who isn't?), then you’ve probably heard about SEO - Search Engine Optimization.

But what does SEO really mean? And how can you do it without getting lost in jargon and complex strategies, or paying big bucks for 12 to 18-month SEO contracts? (Just as an FYI, we have 3-week SEO packages that guarantee results)

Read on for some simple, practical steps you can take to improve your website’s SEO - even if you're not a tech wizard.

Email remains one of the most powerful channels for engaging customers, driving sales, and building brand loyalty. But with increasing spam filters, tighter inbox regulations, and evolving authentication standards, ensuring your emails actually reach your audience’s inbox is more critical - and more fiddly - than ever.

If your business relies on its online presence to operate, whether through e-commerce, client portals, or customer communication, a sudden website crash or network slowdown can feel catastrophic. Often, these disruptions aren’t accidental. One of the most common culprits is a DDoS attack, or Distributed Denial of Service attack.

But what exactly causes a DDoS attack? And why would anyone want to target you? According to Cloudflare, these attacks are up 358% year over year.

We have fended off many of these attacks recently and I thought this was a good topic to blog about. Let’s take a closer look at how these attacks happen, and what motivates the criminals behind them.

In the past few weeks I have heard more than one exasperated website owner say “I don’t need to appear on Google”. It’s not the first time I’ve heard this either. To be perfectly honest, unless your website is 100% password protected and has no public content, every organisation can benefit from being on Google - and the audience reached will be ultimately more engaged.

Since 2008 at Joomstore we have focused on the building and maintenance of your website and I wanted to take this opportunity to share 30+ years of Digital Marketing expoerience and explain some helpful ideas that you can easily put into practice with your awesome website for maximising exposure and response.
