Website Design, Ecommerce & SEO Tips by Prateeksha Web Design

Introduction Off-page SEO is the work you do outside your website to make search engines and people see your business as trustworthy and noteworthy. Done right, it drives referral traffic, improves rankings, and makes your brand easier to find — all of which turn visitors into leads. Why off-page SEO matters for small businesses On-page SEO makes your site easy to crawl and relevant for keywords. Off-page SEO tells search engines and customers that other sites vouch for you. For a small business, that outside validation shortens the trust gap and increases the chance someone clicks your link instead of a competitor’s. What counts as off-page SEO Here are the most practical off-page activities that move the needle for local firms and startups: - Backlinks from reputable, relevant websites - Branded mentions in news, blogs, and industry forums - Local citations and directory listings (Google My Business, directories) - Social amplification and influencer shout-outs - Digital PR an...

Introduction Posting on social media without a plan is like shouting in a crowded market and hoping the right customer hears you. If you want predictable leads and sales from social, you need a simple funnel: awareness, consideration, conversion. Prateeksha Web Design helps Mumbai businesses move from random posts to measurable campaigns that actually drive outcomes. Why random posting underperforms Random posts keep you visible but rarely change buyer behavior. Without clear goals, audience targeting, or landing pages, most social activity creates noise, not pipeline. Planned campaigns, by contrast, map content to customer intent and tie spending to measurable KPIs like cost-per-lead or return on ad spend. What a full-funnel social plan looks like A full-funnel approach covers three stages and uses different formats at each step: - Awareness: short vertical video or story-based reels to reach the right audience. - Consideration: educational snippets, case studies, or longer vid...

Introduction A high-performing website isn’t just about pretty visuals — it’s about clear choices that guide visitors to act. This post gives small business owners, founders, and marketers a practical blueprint to design pages that convert: the right layout, crisp copy blocks, persuasive CTAs, and trust sections that reduce anxiety. Why structure matters People decide in seconds whether your page is worth their time. Structure answers three quick questions: What is this? Who is it for? What should I do next?
