Natural Search

In a natural search, web pages are ranked by which keywords are the most relevant to the words which were searched. This is normally controlled by an algorithm within the individual search engine.

Paid Search

There are a number of paid services available for this option. Paid services can include PPC/CPC (Pay per click/Cost per click), flat charges per ads, or any other service which requires a monetary charge for higher rankings on a search engine results page.

Control the Meta Tag Information

To manage the meta tag information, log into the ESP Websites admin, locate your site and click on the SEO button.

In the SEO window, you can update the name, title, description and keywords of all available pages on your ESP Website. The checkbox to include your company information in the SEO description on browser search results will be checked by default.

By checking the "Include my Company Information as part of Description on all pages" checkbox, in addition to browser search results displaying the site title and description, the company location will also be displayed.

Using Google Tag Manager with an ESP Website

What is Google Tag Manager?

Google Tag Manager enables you to control the tags on your site without having to deal with coding. Tags are comprised of snippets of JavaScript code and tracking pixels, which are HTML code sections which are loaded when a user visits a website or opens an email. This information is useful for marketing and analysis on your site. For more information on how to use tags and the functionality of Google Tag Manager, please review the information available in the Google Tag Manager Help Center.
