Keyword Research

Our first step is keyword research. We thoughtfully discover and analyze short and long tail keywords based upon search frequency and relevance. We compare these keywords to the keywords used by your major competitors.  For local SEO boost, we know how to pair geographic service area keywords with the main keywords.   This research leads to very specific planning on how to strategically place them throughout your website’s content.   

Content Optimization

Integrating keywords in your website is skillfully done. We go so much further than incorporating them in page title, post titles and headings. We place them effectively in headers and footers.  We weave them artfully into permalinks, meta descriptions, link text, image titles, anchor text and alt text for images.  By thinking deeply about your website’s architecture, we ensure that your website has a valid sitemap that is easily crawlable by Google and other search engines.

Achieving Authority Content Points with Search Engines

The algorithm used by Google and other search engines have specific factors that are focused on evaluating a website for being credible, relevant and trustworthy.  These factors are important for determining if  your business or service would be of value to someone searching with specific keywords.  The resulting metric is called domain authority. We can coach you through improving website content to help boost your domain authority.   Some simple “in website” things can be done such as writing high quality blog posts about trends in your business area and interlinking content between pages.  We also analyze backlinks and give recommendations on how to get some high-authority, high-traffic domain links.

Optimizing Google My Business, Yelp, and other Local Citations

It is important to waste no time at getting listing locally on many high value sites.  We start with perfecting your Google My Business profile and Yelp page and then we get you cited on multiple local sites.  We make your business standout by optimizing your Google My Business profile with descriptions and photos.  We can guide you on how to  get multiple positive  reviews on Google and Yelp.

Site Maps and Google Search Console Analytics

We go above and beyond in the launch of any new website.  We will submit your sitemap to Google and set your site up in Google Search Console (GSC).  The sitemap submittal speeds up the indexing by Google and the GSC data helps you measure your site’s traffic and performance.  Both these items will help you emerge and shine in search engine results.
