Who we are
Mercat Cross Media Ltd is an internet marketing company based in East Lothian, Scotland.
We own and operate a network of over 600 websites; most of our sites have Geo Generic domain names which are the direct descriptive definition of a domain name combining location with the service or product being offered. These pieces of internet real estate are considered to be some of the most valuable and like any other piece of real estate will increase in value through time once developed.
These days, internet companies have gained the advantage over traditional media companies when it comes to advertising your business, it's less expensive, more accessible than traditional advertising mediums and with more and more people accessing the internet every day worldwide the target audience is far greater thus increasing business potential.
In our opinion the presentation of a company or the sale of a product can be won or lost in the initial marketing stages of the customers experience on your website. First impressions count, that's a hard fact, so with this in mind we design and create websites that are not only pleasing to the eye but also packed full of useful content. If we combine this with a strong generic domain name the user is far more liable to take action on the site and visit our network time and time again.
Most companies have not realised yet how powerful a good domain name can be in their quest for top ten search results, the holy grail of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is to put your website on the first page of the internet's most popular Search Engines like Google & Yahoo. In some cases the individual searching on the internet won't even use a Search Engine but rather type in the descriptive term for the product directly into their internet browser, this is great traffic hitting our network and the best thing about it is; it's free!
