Search Engine Optimization: Be Found Online
But like, what even is SEO, anyways?
Well, that’s a good question. SEO (or Search Engine Optimization) can be thought of as the practice of increasing a website’s position in search engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing. In theory, when a website ranks higher for a keyword, it generates more traffic (and ultimately more revenue). Some studies suggest that the #1 position for a search receives more than 30% of of the total clicks.
So How Do You Increase Traffic To My Website?
Actually, there are lots of ways to increase web traffic to your business. SEO is just one of those methods. SEO, unlike paid advertising online, relies on understanding how search engines like Google choose to rank websites. In short, search engines rely on algorithms to weigh a website’s “relevancy” and “authority”. By optimizing your online presence, we can influence your relevancy to certain search keywords and how authoritative you are over your competitors.
Okay then, so how do you influence how search engines see my website?
We are constantly “massaging” the content and sometimes code of your website to ensure it is 100% search engine friendly. Search engines use what are called ‘spiders’ to crawl the content of your website and try to understand what you are all about. By ensuring that your visible text & your behind-the-scenes code emphasize certain target keywords, we can influence how search engines interpret your relevancy to those keywords. Some included services relevant to on-site optimization are:
- Custom original content & blogs
- Optimizing meta data (technical stuff that search engines read)
- Increasing load speed, using techniques like caching and image compression
- And Much More…
One popular technique for SEO is called link building. When Google or other search engines see that many websites are backlinking to the same website, they view those links as an endorsement. These endorsements impact how much authority a search engine believes your website has. My team is experienced in garnering high-value backlinks through strategic outreach to relevant blogs and websites. In addition to link building, we maintain your online presence by distributing your business information across the web and working to promote positive online reviews. Some included services related to off-site SEO are:

- Manually submitted profiles on 100+ directories
- Reputation management to give more visibility to good reviews
- And Much More…
