Increasing organic search results, and organic traffic from search engines, is the most reliable way to increase traffic to your site and has the most long term benefits.

SEO can be broken down into sub-sections to simplify discussion – on page and off page -and working on each of these sections is just as important as working on your social media strategy, ad campaigns, and print exposure.

What is On Page SEO vs Off Page SEO?

On-page SEO refers to the practices that you can control on your own pages. The process includes – to name just a few – adding keywords to text and headings, meta descriptions, and organizing the page into a logical structure.

Off page SEO refers to things that are not controllable on your own page and includes things like building a healthy link profile -aka how many backlinks your website has, and ensuring that your page has no duplicate content existing elsewhere which can have major implications for your website.

How quickly does SEO kick in?

SEO is not a quick fix; it is a long term strategy which requires significant dedication to pull off and patience to see the results from. Don’t be discouraged though! Unlike social media virality and ad campaigns which provide short term boosts to traffic, SEO can keep your site relevant and being shown to the right people on an ongoing basis. It is important, therefore, to employ SEO tactics that rely on ethical and proven approaches rather than out of date and eventually ineffective methods like keyword stuffing.

Why bother with SEO for a local business instead of traditional advertising?

At first glance, it can seem counter-intuitive to focus on online traffic when your business is locally focussed, however, passive advertising like television and bus stop banners require the potential customer to see the ad at some point and then remember it when they need your business.
Online traffic on the other hand, is sought out by people actively seeking your service or website, and so making sure that your website is at the top of that list is the best way to get in front of those people seeking your business.

Generally, improving a website’s SEO is a process which includes optimizing not only the new content that you create for your website, but also the old content that is already published on your website. By learning about best practices and optimizing both on and off page SEO, you can capitalise on the millions of searches happening every day.

There is a lot of confusion out there about what makes for good or bad SEO and this can make it hard for website and business owners to get the right information – this is where hiring a digital marketing agency or SEO company can help you make progress with an SEO audit and SEO campaign plan.

What is an SEO Audit?

An SEO audit is, essentially, a search engine optimization informed analysis of your website. Depending on if you are looking for comprehensive or purely technical SEO audit, you will receive different information.

After analysing your website, the specialist will compile a report that identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the website’s SEO.
With these strengths and weaknesses in mind, you and your SEO specialist can focus on improving the SEO weaknesses and capitalizing on the strengths.

Why is an SEO Strategy Important?

Having an SEO strategy is important not only because it will, done correctly, increase the sheer amount of people who will see your website with an increase in organic traffic but also, and more importantly, it will be shown to people who are actually looking for what your website has.

By optimizing your website correctly, the search engines will be showing your site to people who need it, which means the people coming to your website are primed for your content and therefore more likely to convert.

Finding the Right SEO Agency

Often digital marketing companies will offer SEO services, and while many of these offers are perfectly fine quality it is always a good idea to make sure that whatever type of SEO service that you are signing on for is using good and proven techniques to optimize your page.

The basics of good SEO apply broadly across company types, however, what works for a food blog will not work in the same way for a law firm. Finding the right SEO company to provide you with a website SEO audit can make a huge impact on your search traffic and therefore how many people see your website.

What can an SEO Audit Company offer me?

An SEO audit company provides a report, known as an SEO audit, by going through your site and finding out where your pages rank already and what can be done to improve those standings. The actual contents of that audit will change depending on the type of audit -a comprehensive SEO overview, technical issues, or just general advice.

The main benefit you gain from engaging an SEO audit company is the advantage of having an up to date and well informed specialist go through your site and point out exactly where the site can be improved without having to stay up to date or well informed yourself.

In a regularly changing arena like SEO and digital marketing simply staying up to date takes dedication and focus – when you engage an SEO specialist you are getting all the benefits of that dedication without having to spend the hours on learning it yourself.

How do I choose the best SEO audit company for me?
