Local Civil Engineering and Surveying Firm Launches New Website

Jul 15, 2020

July 15, 2020 - /PressAdvantage/ -

Pickett, Ray & Silver, a civil engineering and surveying company in St. Peters, Missouri, is proud to announce the launch of their newly designed website. The purpose of the redesign was to help in their organic search engine optimization and to enhance the look and feel of the website.

The company's previous website was not optimized to generate leads. Most of Pickett, Ray & Silver's business came from referrals from other clients. While that kept them busy enough, they were ready to move forward to generate more growth by producing online leads through the website.

The new website was designed and developed by Changescape Web, an online marketing agency in St. Charles, Missouri.

Word of mouth and referrals are great for getting new and repeat business. However, today, it's increasingly important to get found online. That's why the keyword content on a website is necessary.

A well designed, attractive website is great, but if no one ever sees it, it doesn't benefit the company much. Baking keywords and keyword phrases into the website content can help Google and other search engines push the company higher in the search results.

Search engines have one priority, which is to give customers the best and most useful results to their search queries. The search engine algorithms are very complex and change continuously, so what works today may not work in a couple of months.

An optimized website should accomplish three primary goals:

Improve search engine rankings. Getting on the first page of search results--or better yet, the top three--is the most important goal of SEO. Most consumers won't go to the next page of results when deciding on a company to hire.

Provide a better user experience. The website should be attractive and well designed. All information should be well organized and easy to find. Relevant and interesting content, like blogs and articles, can keep them engaged. Most people are visual, so including videos and photos can help as well. The point is to keep them on the website as long as possible. Ease of navigation and making the site mobile-friendly are critical components too.

Generate leads. Some websites make the mistake of not including a call to action. These are key to closing a sale. The site must provide ample opportunities to opt-in for your product or service or request more information. Capture their contact information so that further communication is possible. This can be done by offering free estimates, sending users to the contact page, or offering a free download of interest.

Pickett, Ray & Silver has been around for over 50 years, serving the communities of St. Charles and St. Louis counties, as well as other surrounding counties in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois. Julie Bartch is the Chief Executive Officer and the company is certified as a Woman-Owned Small Business.

The firm specializes in civil engineering and land surveying and planning, working with major construction companies. They use technology-driven solutions, like drones, to attain the most precise results.

After many years, Julie took the step to have the website redesigned, and she and her staff are pleased with the results. She hopes all visitors enjoy the new look, stating, “Welcome to our new website. Please enjoy our many projects shared here.”

Changescape Web is an online marketing company based in St. Charles, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. They help small businesses create and implement a marketing strategy to grow their business. They specialize in web design and development, search engine optimization, lead generation, and social media presence.

Hong Kong’s Asian Games medal haul gives reason to be cheerful but reckoning awaits for some

When Cado Lee Ka-to carried Hong Kong’s flag into the Paloma Mizuho Stadium on Sunday, he did so at the head of what remained of the most successful Asian Games delegation in the city’s history. While only a handful of the 580 athletes who made up the team attended the closing ceremony, their impact will be felt far beyond the past fortnight, although it may be in what wasn’t achieved that a lasting legacy is created. At first glance, an overall medal count of 54, only one more than the previous...

‘Chaotic’ Asian Games raise doubts over Japan’s ability to host Olympics again

Japan is traditionally seen as a reliable host for major sporting events but an Asian Games dogged by organisational woes has tarnished that image and raised questions over future bids, experts say. The Games in Aichi-Nagoya saw a catalogue of mishaps, from athletes bused to the wrong venues to the North Korean national anthem played for the South Korean hockey team. There were not enough beds for the over 17,000 athletes and officials, a bigger number than the Olympics. Countries complained of...

Performing under pressure helps produce record-setting gold, medal totals for Hong Kong

There has been a common theme running through Hong Kong’s Asian Games gold medallists when it comes to talking about the pressure of being on top: Siobhan Haughey and James Christie both referred to it as a privilege, and it would not be a surprise to discover it is an entirely alien concept to Coleman Wong Chak-lam. Before Saturday, Hong Kong had never won a medal in men’s tennis at the Games, let alone gold. Faced with making history, adding another title to the city’s growing collection and...

Fifa Asean Cup: Gianni Infantino incurs Hong Kong fans’ wrath as city team claim trophy

More than 30,000 Hong Kong fans gave Gianni Infantino their raucous verdict on his leadership of world football on Saturday, before and after watching the city team beat Cambodia 2-0 to be crowned inaugural Fifa Asean Challenge Cup champions. Infantino, the Fifa president, was lustily booed when he delivered the trophy to the pitch alongside local football association president Pui Kwan-kay before kick-off. When he returned to present the spoils to Hong Kong, the stadium PA was raised to an...

Asian Games: Hong Kong’s men make it a hat-trick of rugby sevens golds, women win bronze

There are very few certainties in life, although Hong Kong’s men winning rugby sevens gold at the Asian Games could well be one of them. A 26-0 win over China on Saturday sealed a third consecutive title for the city’s team at the Games, and it is now 12 years since they last lost a match at the multi-sport event. Their mainland opponents had already been beaten 22-0 in a Pool A game on Friday, and a first-half double from Harry Sayers ended any threat of an upset. Bryn Phillips added a third,...

No draw fears for Jamie Richards as Lahore bids for a straight-track hat-trick at Sha Tin

Jamie Richards thinks an inside draw could actually help rather than hinder Lahore as he goes for a straight-track hat-trick in the Class Three Shing Mun Handicap (1,000m) at Sha Tin on Sunday. The son of Hellbent has had his share of issues, requiring throat surgery in July 2025 and then bleeding from both nostrils in February of this year, but he roared back to life when returning in May, decimating a Class Four field by two and a half lengths. He backed that up with a gutsy success from a...

Asian Games: windsurfers’ golden double takes Hong Kong to record medal haul

Hong Kong windsurfers Wong Tsz-ho and Cheung Tsz-yuet both won Asian Games titles on Saturday, taking the city’s gold medal count into double figures for the first time since its athletes started competing in the multi-sport event in 1954. With Coleman Wong Chak-lam’s triumph in the men’s singles little more than an hour earlier securing a record-equalling eighth gold, victory on the water made it nine and 10 for the delegation in Japan. Not even a lack of wind at Kaiyoh Yacht Harbor could spoil...

David Eustace bids to continue momentum with strong Sha Tin team on Sunday

Still basking in the glow of Group Three glory on Thursday, David Eustace is keen to continue his momentum with a strong team of eight runners at Sha Tin on Sunday. The British trainer claimed his second Group Three success in Hong Kong when Colourful King cruised to victory in the National Day Cup (1,000m) under Zac Purton. Bidding to add to that success, Eustace is confident in his dirt representatives on the mixed 11-race card, which include Loch Tay and Definitive in the feature Class Two...

Asian Games: cool, calm Coleman Wong says winning gold akin to ‘unlocking an achievement’

Siobhan Haughey called “pressure a privilege” on her way to adding yet more Asian Games gold to an already glittering resume – anyone watching Coleman Wong Chak-lam win his historic men’s singles title on Saturday might have been left wondering if he even knows what pressure is. The Hongkonger needed just one chance to wrap up a straight sets victory over China’s Wu Yibing, and for all the world looked as though he was just firing down aces on the practice court, and not on the verge of doing...

Fifa president Gianni Infantino in Hong Kong with city team set for Cambodia Asean final

A Hong Kong team “in transition” will battle upwardly mobile and ambitious Cambodia on Saturday for the unremarkable honour of being crowned Fifa Asean Challenge Cup champions. Although the city team copped some flak for their performance in a 2-0 victory over Brunei on Wednesday, having trounced the same opponents 10-0 three years ago, Roberto Losada and his players should be cut some slack after the head coach made nine changes from the 4-0 victory over Laos three days earlier. Equally, Hong...
