and getting PREE Corp a number one ranking on Google.
I office out of the Idea Finishing School space in San Antonio. I have a desk set up in the “school room” and most of my day is spent working on different sites that CFO Rudy owns. In all, I work on about 6 sites daily. We also brainstorm on other things, like now he’s started an app company, so in addition to laying out the site, I also get to help with the actual apps. It’s definitely keeping me on my toes.
Right now, one of the “students” of the Idea Finishing School is PREE Corp. They are 4 grad students from UTSA who have invented a phone charger that works by harvesting Wi-Fi signals and using those to charge your iPhone. Last week, I was in charge of helping them set up a temporary website, so they would at least have something out there. There had been a bunch of press releases and they were showing up on the IFS site, but they didn’t have anything of their own to show off. So, we grabbed a WordPress site and started putting up some stuff. Matthew, who is one of the PREE Corp people and is also officing here right now and I played around with it so I could teach him all the back end stuff. He had never used WordPress before, but I assured him it was super easy and Google loves it.
Today, Matthew was so excited, because last week, PREECorp.com didn’t show up anywhere. Today, they were number one on Google. Admittedly, there’s not a lot out there about PREE Corp, so he should rightly be number one. But, it was pretty cool that in only a week, with some SEO tweaking, he got that coveted number one position.
So, make sure when you’re working on your site, if you’re using WordPress, have the SEO pack installed. Use that extra bit to make sure you’ve got all your keywords included. Use that description section. Make sure you take advantage of using tags. It really does make SEO so much easier for your site.
Now, we just have to make sure we keep up with the PREE Corp site so he stays number one. We don’t want some press release pushing us off the position.
LOL, Matt was just walking out the door for the day and said my blog post here better not push his PREE Corp off number one, since his only competition was my blog posts on IFS and the press releases…..
