Phases Of Our SEO campaigns
Phase 1 – Onboarding & Site Assessment
In order to help our clients better, we first hold a meet where we discuss their customer demographics, metrics, competitors, goals, and the procedure to track new customer leads in the SEO campaigns. We also have a back-office team that collects data regarding logins on the website.
Next, we assess your site’s SEO and come up with a comprehensive report that includes the following:
- Keywords that we should target
- Average search volumes
- Current traffic volume and website rank
- Incorrect or duplicate citations on your site
- Optimize your website on Facebook, LinkedIn, Yelp, and Google My Business
- Assess how difficult the SEO campaign may get
- Make a list of 5 backlinks of your company’s competitors
- Set up a strategy for creating your website’s content
Once we complete this phase, we will provide a comprehensive report regarding the position of the website and what we need to improve its visibility in search engines.
Phase 2 – Onsite Optimization
Our next job is to optimize your website and its web pages that link to LinkedIn, Facebook, Yelp, and Google My Business. Optimizing the landing pages can improve the ranking of your website on search engines.
We also target each keyword that relates to different services that your company provides. With properly optimized landing pages, it becomes easier for us to create the content so that the targeted keywords can match with the search terms used by your audience. These small tweaks to the web pages are crucial, and they improve your site’s structure, thus ensuring that they impress the search engines.
In addition to optimizing web pages, we also optimize for conversions. This includes assessing the efficacy of the call to action phrases used throughout the website. If we feel that we need to improve those phrases, we will do the needful so that your audience can follow the instructions and convert into customers sooner than you expect.
