seo consultancy

While an SEO company should have the ability to provide a complete service including analysis, content creation, promotion, development, etc.  This service will not suit every client due to budget limitations or the client having a team of dedicated marketing employees. If you would like results to happen fast, we advise it is good practise to work as a team with the SEO consultant. Your consultant will provide you with the advice in creating additional content or which sites on the web to advertise your business, etc.

content optimisation

During the design ad creation of a website, SEO is often not in the forefront of the mind of designers, developers and clients alike. This can result in content that is not ideal for keyword targeting and does not fully represent the high standards of the search engines’ content quality. In an age where search engines have the capability of selecting only the very best web pages to show in their search results, it is essential that almost every page on your site is of a high quality. To optimise for this it is often necessary to:

  • Restructure the site for keyword targeting
  • Additional content added to target relevant keywords
  • Removal or editing of weak pages
  • Meta title and Description optimisation

Setting up effective tracking can allow detailed reports to be provided to clients and can allow further SEO plans to be created which will be based on information on how real users are finding and interacting with your website.

local seo

For businesses that have a shop front or location and those that service the local area, SEO is often treated differently. There is a high importance on ensuring that your Google + listing, external accounts and other business listings are complete, verified and consistent in business name and contact details. When conducting keyword research it is important to identify which terms have been identified as Google as having local intent, and, as a result, display local search results.
