SEO, which stands for ‘Search Engine Optimisation’, is the process of helping search engines understand your website, its content, and making it as easy as possible for users to find what they need on your site.
There are various processes and techniques required to make your website succeed, such as improving content, publishing new content, implementing target keywords on your webpages, improving its technical ability and also building links from other contextual sites to yours.
In short – yes. Investing in an SEO expert can achieve outstanding long-term results for your website and business. By optimising your website, you can increase its visibility in search engines, meaning you can open a whole new channel of customers and clients.
Not only this, but long-term, SEO is significantly cheaper than paid ads. Whilst the latter can achieve faster results, SEO has a much better ROI for most industries due to the lower monthly and more stable costs.
It’s highly recommended that you implement SEO on your website. Not only can it yield significant results for your website at a lower cost than some other methods of digital marketing, it can also give your brand a big boost.
Ranking at the top of search engines not only generates more leads, or sales depending on what your conversion metric is, but it also means users know and understand what your business is. They may find your website, and then come back later to convert. SEO is a fantastic way to promote your brand and grow your business.
Of course! There is a lot to learn, but if you have the free time, you can absolutely master SEO and improve your website.Â
However, the downside to this is learning and implementing your own SEO is very time-consuming. DIY SEO involves managing every aspect in-house such as keyword research, improving your website’s user experience, setting up analytics and reporting, and much more.Â
That’s why if you are struggling for time, it’s highly recommended you hire an SEO expert to do the work for you.
All SEO strategies require some form of financial investment. And it’s a case of the more you put into SEO, the more you can get back out of it.
Investing in an SEO expert who is equipped with state-of-the-art tools to get the best information on keywords, traffic performance, technical SEO and link building is the best way to gain the best results for your website.
However, in comparison to using paid advertising platforms such as Google Ads, you will likely spend less and see a better ROI. This is because 65% of users click on organic results instead of ads. So while you do have to pay, you will likely pay significantly less than you would on other marketing channels.
On-Page SEO is the practice of optimising web page content to improve its visibility to search engine crawlers. For example, correctly optimising header tags, using clickbait title tags and meta descriptions, correctly placing keywords in content and creating an effective internal linking structure are all major components of good On-Page SEO.
If you have a business with physical offline presence in one or multiple locations, Local SEO can help. This is the practice of ensuring your website appears for localised queries that are relevant to your business.
For example, if you have a jewellery store based in Manchester city centre, you will want to be ranking first for queries such as ‘engagement rings in Manchester city centre’. This will also be a popular keyword that is searched on mobile devices using Google Maps, so it is important to ensure you hire an SEO expert to help you rank for these keywords.
Also, make sure you have a Google Business Profile set up for your business, as this is critical for local SEO. If you are unsure on how to do this, get in touch with me!
