What is Search Engine Optimization?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of creating or modifying a web site and its influence so that it can be properly read and indexed by search engines with the ultimate result of driving increased qualified traffic to the optimized web site, and converting those leads into sales through increased search engine ranking.
Studies have shown that over 80% of search engine users click on "natural" or "organic" results. Even more compelling is that 90% of search engine users will not go past page 3 when looking for a quality result based on their search. Based on those numbers, you can't afford to not focus on your website to grow your business. Below are a few pieces of our Search Engine Optimization Strategy:
Keyword Analysis and Keyword Discovery
Keyword analysis is the process of analyzing what keywords bring qualified visitors to your site and what other high-yield keywords or phrases can we utilize that have large amounts of traffic but minimal competition. Keyword research is an art and it can make or break your online campaign.
Google AdWords & Yahoo! Search Marketing Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
Paying for keywords provides an immediate way to drive qualified traffic to your web site. You can utilize pay per click campaigns for short-term strategies for seasonal business or product launches. You can also use pay per click for long-term strategies when you need more visibility before your organic or natural rankings rise.
Geographically Localized Search
Have a geographically specific retail location(s)? Over 70% of consumers go online to research their products, make sure customers in your area find your store or business.
Product Feed Management
Selling a product? Make sure it can be found through shopping.com, Shopzilla, Froogle, NexTag, Merchant Circle and many more sites. Automatically feed products and services to shopping engines and allow technology to help you sell.
Brand Reputation Management
Expertly positioned papers distributed as syndicated content through multiple web sites for reputation management while establishing inbound links. In addition, we can setup monitors to keep tabs on what people on the Internet are saying about your company, product, or services.
Meta Tag Development and Implementation
There are some tactics that have been around for a while and do not have the same value to Search engines as they used to. But that doesn't mean, you neglect the obvious. Make it easy for search engines to find you and read what you are about.
Landing Page Development
A good landing page will provide a customized page to the visitor. Based on their interest, search, and many other factors; properly designed landing pages increase conversions and sales.
Lead Bait and Link Bait Development
Sometimes, you have to give to get. We can help you figure out what type of webinars, whitepapers, or audio training you can provide to potential clients to solidify your position as an authority in the industry with quality services and products.
Multivariate and A/B testing
Test out your ideas without breaking what works, and then track which idea is better. Sometimes the smallest change will lead to a conversion. Track it, test it, and work your way to increased sales.
Web Analytics and Reporting
We use
Google Analytics to track web site visitors, time on site, goal funnels, and objective definitions. What good is traffic if you aren't tracking ROI right?
