Learning and implementing SEO basics isn’t difficult but the more you dive in, the more you realize how exponentially complicated it starts to get. With a low barrier of entry just about anyone can implement the SEO basics. Sadly the basics isn’t enough. Lots of businesses use the trial and error SEO method where they try just about anything, but don’t really know what yields good results and what is worthless. Often they walk away disappointed, convinced that their website will never be revenue positive. That’s where paying for experience can really help.

We start with a chat where I learn about you, your company and your industry. I will also get an idea of what your marketing goals are. Then a detailed SEO audit of your site is done which will allow me to review what is currently happening with your site. I evaluate both your sites search engine performance, review your content, keyword saturation, speed, and usability and I also audit your industry to get an idea of what the top ranking sites are doing, what their focus is and what tool set they utilize to help them convert consumers into customers. Reviewing competitor sites often establishes our minimal metrics and standards that your site should comply with.
I also examine where you rank in search results and what type of audience search engines are sending your way.
With keyword research I work with you in building a primary set of keywords you wish to be listed under. This also involves researching what complimentary keywords we should consider as well as establishing a difficulty hierarchy of easiest to toughest terms to rank well under. This will also give us an idea of what content we might have to work on.
There are several tools that must be installed and configured on your site. These tools provide valuable feedback on what works and what needs further corrections. Analytics will show us your sites overall performance and reveal where additional weaknesses lie. Inside of these tools we will also be able to create performance “goals” that measure things such as a purchases, a form fill outs and so on. We can then focus on what must be done to optimize the site for higher goal conversion.
Once everything has been revamped and properly configured then your site will be submitted into different search engines, as well as other industry related sites and directories (if and when appropriate). Any future changes to your site will be automatically injected into the search engines. Within a matter of days we will be able to monitor your status and your performance.
Depending on the volume of visitors your site gets, we will start to aggregate usability data and begin evaluating it. This feedback is then used to make additional changes to the web site (strengthening keywords that yield good traffic, come up with other plans for keywords that yield low quality visitors or no traffic).
Remember that SEO is a process where we will often get site usage feedback, fine tune what doesn’t work well while at the same time amplify site features that perform well. Think of it like training with a coach where a good coach will tell you how to get better and better!
Keep in mind that on average it takes 3 months to start noticing an impact from the changes. I encourage you to look at industry SEO publications where you can confirm this. Be very careful if someone tells you they can get you “quick” results. Again, think of it like going to the gym.
Companies get stuck with little to no results and lose faith in the potential that well established search engine optimization campaign can offer.
Most SEO companies focus on getting all the “technical stuff” optimized for search engine inclusion, often overlooking a step that’s even more important for a sites long-term performance.
One of the most important variables that’s either overlooked or downplayed is called “site stickiness”, and its huge. Site stickiness is the process of gaining the correct traffic, and retaining their interest on your site. It makes total sense! When Google sees a visitor click on a search result link and spend lots of time on that site, Google considers this to be both successful match in search results, and good site (otherwise why would the user spend so much time on it?). You will rank higher for that keyword. Conversely a site that’s clicked on only to be backed out of within seconds, is considered to be a irrelevant site for that keyword, thus its ranks drop.
SEO is all about 1) improving your websites visibility in search engines, 2) attracting only the consumer base you can service and just as important, 3) retaining them on the web site for a longer period of time. I can help your site .
