<p><strong>Performance Websites</strong> by iClick are little websites that are designed to showcase your company and its services while promoting exceptional placement in all major search engines and across over 100 local directories and social networks for as low as $199/mo. It’s simple; we manage the website, we manage the <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/search-engine-optimization/">search engine optimization</a>, we manage the <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/web-hosting/">hosting</a>, email management and <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/lead-generation/">lead generation</a>!</p>
<p><em><strong>Performance Websites Are Powerful!</strong></em></p>
<p>iClick Websites creates a <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/micro-site/">micro site</a> that is designed for user excellence and maximum search engine placement that is branded to your business; we host it, we provide you with email (if desired) and we install <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/google-analytics/">Analytics</a> and Call Tracking software to help manage your ROI.</p>
<p><em><strong>Here’s how it works!</strong></em></p>
<p>Lets say your a home owner in Denver looking for a qualified local Denver Plumbing Contractor… the first thing you will probably do is visit <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/google/">Google</a>, <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/yahoo/">Yahoo</a> or <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/bing/">Bing</a> and search for something like: <strong>Denver Plumbing</strong></p>
<p><em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<div><em><strong>How a home or business owner see your website</strong></em></div>
<p><em><strong><img class="alignright" title="Denver Plumbing" src="http://blog.iclickwebsites.com/images/denver_plumbing_b.jpg" alt="" width="474" height="271" />This is where the fun begins…</strong></em></p>
<p>The image to the left indicates what a home or business owner might see when searching for a <em>Denver Plumbing Contractor</em>.</p>
<p>Notice the exposure? We ensure your website  placed in <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/google-local/">Google Local</a>, <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/yahoo-local/">Yahoo Local</a> and <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com/tag/bing-local/">Bing Local</a>.</p>
<p>We also ensure your business shows up in Google’s organic results. The best part of Google /Search Organic is it doesn’t matter how many times someone clicks on your website, it doesn’t cost you a dime.</p>
<p>If you’re the business owner who likes to pay for high cost clicks – you can always supercharge your performance website with our locally focused, iClick Search Marketing.</p>
