Search Engine Optimization (SEO), is the process of teaching Google and other search engines, where and when to rank your website. By using many techniques both technical and creative, we increase a website’s rank in search engine results pages (or SERPs). The benefit is that your business is seen by more people which means more potential customers.
SEO is a fundamental and foundational service for your website. Without a solid SEO strategy and ongoing maintenance and improvements, you will only be gaining your leads through other paid marketing. By building your website for SEO you are also improving the quality for all of your other marketing services. SEO means better content, better user experience, faster sites, and easier conversions. It’s more than just ranking on Google, it’s about creating new business and retaining existing customers.
Over 200 Algorithmic Ranking Factors
Google has been tailoring their algorithms over time to show the best and most relevant results no matter what search query is performed.
The ranking factors are determined by the search engines themselves and are constantly evolving so that the searchers get the most relevant results to the questions they search. Since the landscape is ever changing, it is important to have an SEO company who knows and understands how to help Google and other search engines read your content and rank your website.

Once you have content written, we make sure that it is beautifully and effectively laid out into pages of your website. We use content design techniques to make sure your content is both beautiful and easy to read. By adding proper heading structures, lists, quotes, images and more, we help make your content as digestible as possible. This not only makes search engines happy, but it makes users happy and that’s what truly matters! When users are able to and happy to read your content, they will be more inclined to read more and convert into your biggest fan.
Website Content Structure Analysis
Writing content is only one piece of the puzzle. Without a proper content structure your content is both more difficult to read, but also harder to understand by search engines. We make sure that your website is setup from the ground up to have a proper content structure that is easily indexed and crawled.

We make sure you know which channels produce leads and allows you to see where your return on investment is performing the best.
Ranking Tracking and Keyword Consulting
Keyword consulting is key to your business success online. We all know what we would search to try and find something online, but is it the best way to search or the way that most people search? This is what we can help you understand and work with you to ensure that when customers search queries that relate to your business, you are the result they click on. We provide keyword research and keyword tracking to make sure you know which keywords have larger search opportunity and to make sure you know where you rank in the SERPS.
Search rank tracking is constantly changing, and Google has made a consistent result nearly non-existent. Just because you search and see your website in a specific position, doesn’t mean it’s where all people see your website. We track to ensure a quality sampling of SERP results for an average user would produce a high ranking result for your website for that specific query. Some users will see the result higher, some lower, but we make you are always moving up the page.
Structured Data Implementation (Schema)
Structured data is a type of programming language implemented within your website to provide more details about the information of each page. It helps us directly tell Google what specific elements of the page are used for, what they mean, and why they exist.
We follow the Schema.org and Google guidelines to ensure that we are maximizing your websites content and UI structures for Google and other search engines. It provides the added benefit of additionally showing your website in Google’s Featured Snippet results, which means your website will be more likely to be found in all components of Google’s search results. Ever seen a carousel, frequently asked question, or direct answers from Google? These are featured snippets and it means YOUR site is visible to more users online and showing you as the expert that Google trusts.
