New visual search engine: SearchMe

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with The Virtual Link

I’m not sure how many of you have seen this new search engine that is in beta testing right now – but it looks freakin’ amazing.

The importance of a good design is going to be an essential part of marketing your site in the future.  Now that SearchMe is coming out, I see this as making a huge impact on the way people literally *view* your web site and decide whether or not to visit.

Originally when I started designing sites, I was heavy on the flash and graphics, but started drifting away from that when I started studying Search Engine Optimization.  I relied more on search engine rankings and the description of the site that appeared on Google.

With SearchMe, it’s going to be a delicate balancing act of good SEO and amazing design.

Time are a changing…

I think that the ability to be able to view pages before actually visiting them will have a huge impact on our industry. If a potential client searches for a VA on Search Me, they will have the opportunity to view your website before actually visiting it. Therefore the initial aesthetic impression that your website gives them will be all the more important. If you can catch their eye with an appealing and innovative website, then they will be far more apt to visit your site.
