Our approach to SEO is highly strategic and we mix a focus on great technical and on page SEO with high quality link building campaigns. We tailor a bespoke plan for each new client based on the industry and competiton but this is the general process we use for clients:
Account Set Up:
Competitor analysis – looking at competitor websites to see what they are doing in terms of their on-site SEO, assessing the content and keywords they are targeting and analysing their backlink profiles.
Keyword research & URL mapping – using several tools, information from yourselves and competitor data to create a master document of keywords for all pages on the website. This will be used for all future onsite optimisation and content creation.
Rank tracking set up – will adding an agreed target keyword set into my rank tracking software so we can see ranking progress for individual keywords over time.
Conversion selection & tracking set up – deciding what will count as conversions on the website and set up tracking if possible.
On-site optimisation:
Switch to https (optional but recommended) – https is the secure encrypted version of http and soon the Chrome browser will start warning users when it is not used.
Structural analysis – checking site structure and making recommendations.
Development of targeted landing pages – creating static landing pages based on keyword research and the different features of the tool / problems it solves. This will allow the website to compete for a much wider set of keywords.
