Get Ranked on Page 1 in Organic Search
You want your website content to be easy to find by people interested in what you offer - you can't get easier than being on PAGE ONE in an internet search.
Apparently, more than 80% of clicks happen on page one of search results; but being FIRST on page one; the Holy Grail of digital marketing, can mean up to five times as many click-throughs than being fourth or lower.
It's obvious what this can do for a business, its turnover and profits.
Search Engine techies are very smart and their closely guarded and constantly evolving search ranking algorithms use thousands of factors to determine relevancy and positioning. Their reputation is based on producing relevant search results and SEO will help your website promote its relevancy. Read what Google say about How Search Works and their Search Algorithms.
What is Onsite and Offsite SEO?
Onsite SEO deals with your website's content and code. Offsite SEO deals with backlinks to your website.
Search Engines crawl and analyse your website content's quality, relevancy, importance, authority, etc and also that of your backlinks.
They'll also analyse your website for load-speed and mobile usability.
Their algorithms are then ready to index and rank your content relative to competitors in Search Results pages, for any given search phrase.
How often a Search Engine crawls your content varies. They crawl and re-index websites more often if they have seen a pattern of regular, fresh, useful and unique content more than they would a neglected website, and they know the public do too.
Onsite SEO starts at the conception of a website and must be considered in the choice of keywords, domain name, page URLs, the navigation, layout, design, coding, and particularly the written content.
Offsite SEO is mainly about attracting the all-important backlinks (aka inbound links) to your website.
Backlinks to your website content from other popular and relevant websites (these are called strong backlinks) are like an endorsement - and search engines see this as a sign that your website is popular, useful and supposedly authoritative.
Backlinks clearly can also generate traffic to your website. If you have a backlink on a 'relevant' website then anyone who clicks it is more likely to be interested in your website and its offerings.
Creating great web content that other sites would want to natural link to is the best way to attract backlinks. Do not neglect a 'Backlink Strategy', it's a major part of Search Engine Optimisation.
Tweaking the existing content and code, and adding fresh content is clearly a continuous process - as is attracting backlinks. So Search Engine Optimisation is an ongoing process because your competitors could overtake you again if you neglect your website.
In the past, some websites owners used unethical 'black hat' techniques as opposed to ethical 'white hat' to try to fool Search Engines and gain undeserved higher ranking.
For example, buying multiple backlinks from link farms will get you a ranking penalty from Google, or worse - a complete ban from their databases. We've dealt with clients that received ranking penalties for using link-farm services, and it was over 5 years before Google dropped the penalty.
Keyword Research and Integration
Its very important to carefully research and decide on the most likely keywords (and their associated words and phrases) that your target audience types into search boxes when looking for the service or products you offer.
These keyphrases then need to be integrated into your website appropriately. This really helps Search Engines properly determine what your website is about and can then index and catalogue its pages.
Keywords in domain name, page URLs, meta titles, meta descriptions and page headings are given more importance than those in the body text. But, the body text needs to live up to title (and the keyword or phrase) and be suitably well written, unique and authoritative.
Keyword research, integration density and positioning requires lots of careful consideration and plenty of time needs to be dedicated to it, but it's completely worth it.
Need help with keyword research and SEO? We'll get to know you and your business, its industry and your competitors, research the most suitable keywords and phrases and using SEO principles and techniques we'll then appropriately integrate them into your website content.
Update Often with Fresh and Unique Content
Both search engines and consumers like to see up-to-date, relevant, informative, useful, interesting, well written and nicely presented content on websites.
Search engines crawl and re-index websites more often if they have previously seen a pattern of regular, fresh, useful and unique content (no plagiarising!).
Visitors are also more likely to come back again if they know you regularly update your site's content. Example: news, blogging, articles, new services or products, etc.
Blogging
Having a news blog on your website is ideal for posting regular fresh content; our news blog posts are indexed by Google the same day.
Make sure you also write the news titles with your keywords in mind. Write about subjects that you know people are interested in and will search for.
For example, far better to write a news or blog post about a new service you are offering than about a new employee you have just taken on.
If you don't have a news blogging facility on your website, give us a call, we can add one and show you how it works.
