SEO SERVICES TECHNIQUES THAT INCREASE TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE
KEYWORD RESEARCH
You have probably heard the term “keyword” countless times while discussing digital marketing, but do you know what it means?
Keywords (also known as “search queries”) are the phrases searches type in while using search engines. All of the content on your page including headlines, text, and images on your site should reflect the specific keywords you are trying to rank for.
Our SEO professionals spend time researching the industry your business is in, the products or services you offer, and your desired conversion goals to come up with the best keyword strategy for your website.
Any effective SEO campaign must start with proper keyword research. It’s not just about finding relevant keywords to optimize, but rather finding relevant keywords that your site can actually rank for. Optimizing your website for incredibly competitive keywords, won’t be as successful as finding more specific terms that fit your website best.
KEYWORD RESEARCH
On-Page Optimization
After conducting keyword research, you’ll want to optimize the content on your pages to match those phrases, so Google (and all other search engines) understand the phrases you are trying to rank for.
There are many factors that go into on-page optimization but the “top three” factors are content quality, media, and responsiveness.
Search engines will rank quality content higher. It’s that simple. If you want your business to rank high in search engines, your website needs to provide quality information to answer search queries. Formatting your content correctly is also critical. This ensures search engines can crawl and read your content correctly so your website gets the rank you deserve.
Incorporating media on your pages makes your website more engaging for visitors, which decreases your bounce rate and increases your search engine ranking.
Having a responsive web design is critical for any website that is currently live. The majority of internet surfing is now done from a mobile phone. Because of this, your website needs to be able to adapt to the size and shape of a mobile phone, and still offer the same engaging experience as the desktop view.
On-Page Optimization
Content Creation
One of the most important things to understand about SEO is that it’s not a one-off project. Optimizing the current content on your site is a great first step to an SEO Strategy, but you still need to do more. A website must keep getting updated with quality content to remain relevant in the eyes of search engines. If a website doesn’t show any new content being published, search engines will not give it a higher ranking.
New content doesn’t always have to be new core pages to your website. One of the best ways to add new quality content to your site is by using blog posts. You can also add more detailed content about your business and the types of services or products you offer.
Unfortunately, optimizing your website once won’t get you very high in the rankings, and won’t keep you there very long. Continuously publishing quality content is the best way to keep and increase your rankings on your site.
