A lot of people wonder how to get your videos to rank in the Google search results.  We have actually started to run some testing and soon we hope to write a post about our testing failures and triumphs.  YouTube is actually the second most used search engine and Google is in first place. We have followed a few companies and watched their video success or failures and then employed some of our own tricks to see what kind of results are achieved.  

To monitor the videos we have picked a couple of different industries.  We choose the plumbing industry and the Baby Monitors industry.  We have watched a few videos from Austin plumbing and watched their website traffic to see if the videos had any impact at all.  It is often said that a video that is 1 minutes or less will help you close more clients.   Below is TechnoPhysics Solutions Corp video that was recently to announce their latest product.  We have been monitoring the video’s success since it was released.  Check back as in the future we will talk about what we found during our case studies.

What’s in a name? Well, in the world of business and SEO a name can be everything.  Recently, a company we have followed closely changed their name to TechnoPhysics Solutions Corp.  It seems simple to change a name until you realize all of the little changes that must happen across the board.  To name only a few domain name change, website changes, video changes and most business don’t think about the search engine optimization implications of changing their name.  

In order to do well in Google you may have heard NAP must remain consistent.  NAP stands for Name, Address and Phone.  Every time this matches it is a citation and is like a vote of confidence from other websites.  If you change your name you need to think of the search engine optimization implications.  A name change can actually change your position in the search engines until you have consistent citations built up with your new name.  

Changing your name is not only about new business cards and changing your name plate on your door if you depend on the search engines for traffic.  If you are planning to change your name make sure you make time for your seo strategy.  Often seo is overlooked by management when making name changes or other changes and they could stay ahead of the curve if they incorporated SEO into their plans.

In case you missed our last post be sure to check out the video that TechnoPhysics Solutions Corp has out introducing their latest technology. 

If you have any further questions about TechnoPhysics Solutions Baby Monitors be sure to let them know and visit their website.

From time to time we like to throw out a few SEO tips for you.  Most small to medium sized businesses now know the importance of their SEO marketing budgets.  If you are trying to rank in the search engines for specific keywords or specific locations you need to pay attention to your social presence.  Social Presence whats that? 

If you haven’t heard of a few of these you might be living under a rock.  Facebook, Twitter and now Google+ are on the scene and helps a company provide a social presence.  You should take the time to build a profile with as much information as you can and then actually engage with your clients.  You might be surprised at the results.  New on the scene is Google+.  If you need a Google presence then this is the social network you need to pay attention to.  Did you know Twitter and Facebook stopped reporting to Google?

Don’t forget about the Google Places and setting up that type of account as well. Here is an an account we felt utilized all of what Google Places has to offer:  Austin Plumbing

A few days ago Business Insider posted a quick article about the top 25 places to live if you plan on starting your own business. Here is the list:

Silicon Valley (San Francisco, Palo Alto, San Jose, Oakland)
New York City (NYC, Brooklyn)
London
Toronto
Tel Aviv
Los Angeles
Singapore
Sao Paulo
Bangalore
Moscow
Paris
Santiago
Seattle
Madrid
Chicago
Vancouver
Berlin
Boston
Austin
Mumbai
Sydney
Melbourne
Warsaw
Washington D.C.
Montreal

Austin, Texas made the list to put Texas in the list. We hope to see San Antonio in that list in the next few years. Keep in mind if you have a great idea and a great management team you could live anywhere and still have a successful business. We are hearing about more and more successful startups and companies that are expanding beyond their belief. One such company is our friends over at Austin Plumbing. No one thinks about a plumbing company when you think of startups but there are all types of companies. You don’t always have to re-invent the box to have a successful startup. We were pleased to learn our friends are expanding into the near by area of Buda, Plumbers Buda Tx. Buda is a great place to expand and it not that far away from their headquarters in Austin.

On another note our friends over at PREE Corporation are working hard at offering their Baby Monitors to Canada. We will have a major update on PREE tomorrow with even more news.

Today it is hard to say which Texas start-up will become successful and which will not. We do know if you have the Idea Finishing School behind you the odds are pretty good in your favor. Idea Finishing School has been successful due to the great leadership and support offered by Rudy De La Garza. He is an old school entrepreneur that believes in hard work and dedication to get the job done right.

Texas has seen a boom of start-ups in the last few years and many of them were great ideas but had poor management. If you have a great idea but don’t know anything about business your start-up is in trouble. We are still very proud of our successful start-ups that are now fully operating successful companies. One of our favorites is PREE Corporation who invented the latest cutting edge Baby Monitor. The iPhone App Developers other wise known as Idea Apps, Inc.

There are other successful Texas companies that began as a start-up. Today these companies are successful and operating and we are proud to say they started right here in Texas. I could ramble on and on for days naming the companies but we had the honor of meeting a few of the company owners the other day. Plumbers Buda Tx began in Austin Texas and is now known as one of the best in their area.

If you are a local start-up we hope to meet you soon and good luck.

Come meet PREE Corp at the SATC Mixer on September 2nd.

Instead of having PREE Corp speak at the August Idea Xchange and then again at the SATC Mixer, we’ve decided to combine the two events and will now be having our Idea Xchange at the SATC Mixer on September 2nd.

The SATC mixer is a HUGE event. Everyone is San Antonio comes out for the quarterly event, so we figured it would just be better to have PREE focus on that day when everyone can meet them. We know people are busy and may not be able to attend both events, so we’re going to stick with the bigger one.

So if you were wanting to meet PREE Corp and learn about how they’ve managed to become the only graduates from the UTSA Entrepreneurship Program to actually keep developing their company after they graduated and how thanks to IFS, they’ve now gotten $35k in seed money, then come on out the the SATC Mixer on Sept 2nd.

The SATC Mixer is in the San Antonio Technology Center building at 3463 Magic Dr, San Antonio TX 78229 on September 2nd, 2010. It starts at 5pm.

A bonus round to meet PREE Corp!

The Idea Finishing School is located inside a bright red building in San Antonio called the San Antonio Technology Center.

Each quarter, they have their own big shindig. The next one is the Fall Mixer, and it’s on September 2nd. These are normally pretty big affairs. They take up the whole downstairs of the building, with an open bar at each end, and have pretty good nibblies. People come from all over San Antonio to socialize and network. There’s always some interesting guest speakers and around the edges, other businesses will set up mini tables showing off their companies.

On Friday, I got a call asking about our August Idea Xchange with PREE Corp, and if PREE would also be available to appear at the September mixer. I said of course, they’d love to. (Then quickly called Rudy to make sure.)

So, it’s going to be a super exciting week for PREE. They’ll be at the August Idea Xchange and then a few days later at the SATC Mixer.

So if the end of Summer and all the partying that goes with it is getting you down, get your social on by coming out to see the Idea Finishing School folks and the PREE Corp group at the August Idea Xchange and then at the SATC Mixer.

This might be one of your last opportunities to say, “I knew them before they were famous”.

Come meet the PREE Corp group at the August Idea Xchange.

Joshua Sellers, Matthew Jackson, Amanda DeKay and Matthew Ellison, the foursome behind the new wireless energy iPhone charger technology that means you never have to plug your phone in again will be the guest speakers at the August Idea Xchange.

PREE Corp are graduates of UTSA and are current students of the Idea Finishing School. Rudy De La Garza initially discovered PREE Corp when he was a judge at the The 100k Venture Startup Competition at UTSA. They didn’t get first place, but Rudy thought they should have, so he immediately talked to them about the Idea Finishing School. Rudy could see the massive potential of the group. They had a great product and the group worked well together.  PREE has already raised some seed capital through IFS and has many more investors and distributors wanting to talk to them.

PREE Corp are currently working on perfecting their marketing pitch and would love to get your feedback on their product at the Idea Xchange.

The Idea Xchange will be on Wednesday August 25th, starting at 4pm

3463 Magic Dr, suite 245

PREE Corp has a new site up.

Last week, Matthew Jackson decided that PREE needed a website. Well, it was decided a few weeks ago, but Matt decided it was time they actually made one. It didn’t have to be pretty, but they needed something up. Eventually, PREE will have a couple of sites, like most corporations do. One for the public to see the products, then a corporate site so people can see more about the actual corporation.

So, PREE Corp is now online. There’s not much info on there yet, but we’re working on it. Every site has to start somewhere. In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be teaching Matthew how to make sure it’s SEO’d properly, we’ll be working on the blog and adding all kinds of content. So make sure you have a look over there and see how they’re growing.
