SEO Methodology can be a complex system.  However,  we can explain even the most complex systems simply. You lose some nuances, but one should communicate what one is trying to do and accomplish.

Why SEO is Very Important

 

Our SEO Methodology

SEO Audit 4 piece iconWE have created a systematic approach to Search Engine Optimization.

Code: If the code is problematic, they may delay indexing, take longer to index your site, or index the parts they can access. Run a Code Audit, and Fix the Errors.

Content: Have a keyword strategy that includes implementing keywords per page. Write the content in a readable way that also uses the keywords—keyword Audit for optimization levels. Research keywords and choose the best options.

Community: Identity which websites are best to associate with and pursue backlinks. They should be in your industry and have a value other than their domain value.

Competitors: Know what the completion is like for specific keywords and phrases. Know competitors' strategies and connections and leverage that information for your SEO plan.

Clicks: We didn't cover this option above, but it is worth mentioning. A site search engine optimized with a strong keyword list can save you money on your pay-per-click options—the more relevant the ad, the lower the PPC cost.

Search Engines are Actively Crawling

Search SpiderPeople use the internet daily to find things they want to consume (like reading stories or watching videos), participate in (like social media posts/playing games), or find products/services that solve a need.

There are so many websites on the internet. Some companies actively try to sort and index them all. These companies act as intermediaries for people looking online. They allow you to search for things on their website and show you a list of websites they think fit your search. These companies use tons of data to determine how to offer you the best results. They make money from having your eyeballs using their search engine and then clicking on the page results.

So if they make money from the clicks, they need the correct information on the back end. This process is why search engine optimization is essential. These programs are actively crawling and indexing websites. If your site is not optimized, you may miss out on your site is correctly indexed and may not appear in search results for specific phrases.

Online/Digital Competition Is Complex

Complex SEO Process IconSeveral factors search engines use to determine a website page's place for specific keywords. They are very complex. The challenge is that it's not just businesses competing online for particular keywords. There are information websites, other lead generation tools, directory sites, and people who hobby in a specific field, to name a few. You are competing for attention against multiple competitors.

How to Compete in SEO; Understand the System

  1. Robots: Understand the search engine spider process (see above). They crawl a website and take the information back to the search database. How much information Search Engines index and which Keywords they associate with your website depends on how well they can crawl it. This is the first step in SEO, and I say CODE is vital as part of a broader SEO.
  2. Users: Understand how search spiders crawl your website and index your website based on user intent. They crawl through your content and search for ways to associate your website with specific keywords and phrases. Have a keyword strategy. Use keyword-optimized content on your website. Identify which words are searched and write content that uses those words. Make sure it is still readable by humans.
  3. Connectivity: Understand how connectivity works online. Have your website associated with similar sites with higher values. Just like high school, a lot of reputation is by association. If your site is connected to other sites and seen as a positive element in a cluster, your site will rank better.
  4. Competitive Landscape: Understand where your competitors are and how they compete with you. Run an analysis of your competitors and determine what factors are contributing to their ranks. Mirror some of those strategies in your unique way.
