Success Story
El Manatial
Roy Gonzalez
Teodoro and Maria Gonzalez along with their son Roy Gonzalez, own and operate own one of Amarillo's best kept secrets when it comes to Mexican food. Located on Amarillo Boulevard just east of Grand, their food is both authentic and very affordable.
Owner Teodoro came to the SBDC for help with his assumed name certificate and he and Assistant Director David Dickerson some time working on all aspects of the business from sales tax to their Health Department certificate.
Roy oversees the restaurant on a daily basis while staying busy with his classes at WT. He's a senior this year and plans to use his newly acquired skills to make El Manatial even bigger and better in the future!

In today's world of doing business, potential clients skip right over the phone book when looking for you and go straight to the internet. It's imperative that your business have a website that not only appears professional, but one that will show up in relevant searches.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of using the best techniques possible to increase your search engine rank. Below are some tips from Elance on how to maximize your search results:
1. The Power of Links
Have as many links to your website on other websites as possible. These are known as "backlinks" or "inbound links."
2. Page Titles
Give your page titles clear wording and make sure they're keyword rich.
3. Page Descriptions
Just link your page title, make sure your page description, the non bold text under the page title in a search, is heavy with keywords.
4. Maximize Page Content
Use the power of keywords in the text of your entire webpage. 5. More Pages = More Juice
More pages means more material to be indexed and searched, raising your chances of being located in a relevant search. Read Elance's complete article online. |
