What is SEO?

Search Engine Optimisation is the process of improving your site's visibility in search results for searches relating to the service or products you sell. There are over 200 factors taken into account by search engines like Google. SEO starts the second you begin thinking about building a site: the layout, structure and content all have a significant impact on organic search ranks.

Why you need SEO

19% of search people on desktop and 28% of people on mobile devices click-through to the first organic search result i.e. the first that isn’t an advert. The rate at which people click-through on Google’s first results page vary from around 3% to 32%. With the right approach, you could increase the volume of users coming to your site over the long-term through service or product related terms. Unlike paid ads, if you stop investing in SEO, you will continue to reap the benefits and will likely only plato.

A Staffordshire SEO company with a difference

Fluid SEO/Marketing Budgets

Prices for SEO depend on your goals and priorities. We price work either by project or as a retainer. Whilst we always deliver our SEO strategies, we also think bigger, and try to think outside the box. This sometimes results in us having budget fluidity, which allows us to reallocate our client’s hours towards different projects from time to time. This can include helping with Ads, setting up a nurture journey in Mailchimp and much more. As an award-winning Staffordshire SEO company, we work hard to ensure that our client's achieve their goals, without missing any opportunities we spot along the way.

We work with clients of all sizes, with varying goals and budgets and understand that things change quickly sometimes, so this fluidity in our budgets allows us to work with you.

Exactly what it says. We focus the content on each page around your customer and work to ensure we’re supporting them, regardless of their position in their sales journey. We perform in-depth keyword and competitor research to better understand the search results and what works best for your market. Then we complete a full site review, examining everything from page titles to on-page content, before providing recommendations.

Over time, these changes will help your site gain more commercially valuable traffic. We will have clearly indicated to search engines what each page contains, focussing this towards user intent and the likelihood of improving your organic rankings.

Off-page SEO - also known as off-site SEO - is when we take actions that aren’t actually on your site, but link back to the site or your brand. The purpose of off-site SEO is to help demonstrate your brand’s authority as trusted experts to search engines. It can include link acquisition, social media marketing, social proofing with reviews and more.
If you’re offering local services, we’ll work with you to make sure your website reflects this. Optimising your on-page SEO, checking for consistent NAP citations and optimising your Google Business profile will ensure Google understands that you’re a local service provider to help you gain more free traffic from local results.
Technical SEO includes all the bits behind the scenes that you can’t see, yet are still essential to improve your organic rankings. The purpose of technical SEO is to simply make sure search engines can see and understand your website, and that it’s consistent and optimised in line with good practice. It also means having a site that loads quickly, understanding how to resolve any errors, checking that every single link works, and making sure your site is safe and secure.
Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) and improved user experience (UX) are benefits of good SEO. User experience is measured in several ways by search engines and they are all ranking factors. We can help you improve the content and page flow, add appropriate internal links and everything else that makes up good SEO practice. These are all likely to improve your conversion rate, bounce rate and average time on page. They can also help increase your rankings, resulting in more users visiting the site through organic search.

A content strategy is at the heart of everything - it should inform your SEO strategy, your overall marketing and your website. A great content strategy is backed by data and research into your competitors; search results for your target keywords; your target audience; your typical customer journey, and more.

An in-depth content strategy is necessary before performing any work on your website. It’ll highlight opportunities that will lead to a better user experience on your website and result in far higher conversion rates.
