What is SEO, and Why Do I need it with my Website?

SEO is a widely adopted online marketing strategy that is used to increase brand awareness, build targeted traffic, and promote your organization’s performance in the search results of Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other search engines.

While the benefits of good SEO are clear, the cost of accomplishing an SEO strategy can vary significantly depending on the goals of the company and the type of strategy being implemented. No matter what your budget, the costs associated with promoting SEO should be viewed as an investment for your business and with any investment, you should be concerned with building the best possible ROI.

For example, if your goal is to increase sales by 15 percent, estimate how much you are willing to pay for that result and how that will affect your budgeting and marketing options in the future. Generally, the loftier the goal, the more expensive it can be to accomplish.

Some Common SEO Questions

How Long Does SEO Take?

There are many factors that come into play when you are looking at how long an SEO Campaign may take.

We start with plans that go for 6 months. This gives us enough time to create a campaign and have it run for at least 3 months to start getting enough data to see what’s working or may not be working as well as we hoped.

Things to think about when preparing for an SEO Campaign…

How competitive your keywords are – (We help you set realistic goals)
How much competition exists for chosen keywords.
The size of the current website.
Your goals related to your budget.
Where you currently rank for your chosen keywords

How Much Does SEO Cost?

Our plans start at $497 and go up there depending on your needs and goals.

That being said, there are some things that should be included in any SEO Services Plan

Technical Audit

SEO Company Red Flags

With SEO it can be difficult to find an agency/freelancer who are the “real deal”

Here are some Red Flags to look out for when looking for SEO Services.

“We can rank you #1”

With SEO there are no guarantees. You can do everything right and still not get to #1.

They don’t even mention “on page optimization”

On page optimization is critically for making sure that Google sees your page the way you want them to.

Ranking you for keywords that don’t matter

I see this all of the time with law firms. Bigger agencies will approach them and give them a huge list of keywords they don’t rank for. Most of the time they are divorce attorneys and they show them a list of keywords related to personal injury attorneys. Don’t fall for this.

Is SEO Different from Local SEO?

Local SEO is SEO that is related to your actual location. For example, if you were a pizza shop in Lansing, MI you would want people to find you if they search, “Lansing Pizza Place” or “Best Lansing Pizza”, etc.

Some of the areas you should focus on if you are looking to grow your Local SEO would be;

Google My Business
Local Keywords
Citations
Specific Area Pages

Our SEO Process

Step 1: Let’s Chat

To help you and your business we need to first understand your digital marketing goals. This will be us asking a lot of questions 😊

Our goals from this discussion will be;

To learn as much as possible about your business and your vision for the future
Learn about your goals, your ideal customer, & your budget
Gather any information we would need to start creating a campaign roadmap

Step 2: Perform an SEO Audit

The goal in this step is to clearly understand where you are in terms of SEO right now and what we will need to update or do to meet your goals. We will look at your website, your Google My Business account, your rankings, your website content, and a competitive analysis.

Step 3: Keyword Research

We need to perform keyword research to see where you currently rank in Google and to see what other keywords you may be able to rank in Google for. In addition, we look at what keywords your competition is ranking for and if we can over take them or if we should pursue other options.

It’s important to focus on keywords that get a good deal of web traffic and not focus on keywords that you may want to rank for but won’t gather you enough traffic to validate putting resources towards them.

Step 4: SEO Copywriting and Content Creation

The goal during this step is to create relative, unique and interesting content that Google and your visitors will love. We never use the technique “keyword stuffing” in an attempt to improve rankings. We research every topic thoroughly and have our writers create long content aimed at answering your visitors questions and improving your rankings for our targeted keywords.

Step 5: Onsite SEO Optimization

In this step we will review and improve all aspects of your onsite SEO. Onsite optimization is reviewing the technical details that may make up a web page and how Google views your page. Some of the changes or improvements could include.

Updating content
Optimizing Title Tags
Improving URL structure
Optimization images
Page speed
Crawl errors

Step 6: Local SEO

Local SEO is performing SEO that is focused on improving your online presence in your immediate area. Some important areas we will review during this step is to make sure that your Google My Business page is optimized properly with the most up to date information.

We will also look at your reputation and make sure that your NAP information is correct throughout the internet (NAP = Name, Address, Phone).

Step 7: Analytics and Reporting

During your time with us we will continuously be analyzing your data and making sure everything is moving forward. We will be able to create any report that you would like to help you review the same information.

We use Google Analytics, Webmaster tools, SEMRush, among other tools to help us track, analyze and create reports.

We are huge believers in the data and having the data lead us vs. our feelings.
