What Is SEO Marketing?

SEO marketing is the fundamental aim of making your website as visible as possible to drive relevant traffic from web searches…that’s it. Sounds simple, right? Wrong.

Google (the papa bear of search engines) loves to move the goalposts.

Google’s algorithm consists of bots or “crawlers”. Sounds like the beginnings of a plot to a C-grade horror movie, starring Stephen Baldwin. But these bots crawl all the websites on the internet, looking to gather information and assess where to rank your site and your pages.

This information is then digested in such a way that determines the relevance, usefulness, and overall quality of the page. This is the foundation upon which the search experience is built.

Technical SEO Audit

Your site might look great, but under the hood could tell a whole different story.

Our technical SEO audits comprise of three main components to answer three very important questions. How does your site stack up to your competitors? Is your site performing well? What’s helping or threatening your site externally in terms of SEO?

That’s not a dodge, that’s just us being honest. Even though we work a digital industry, we always prefer to do business face-to-face, or over the phone. And to get a good idea of pricing, we’d need to have a chat first.

The best results come from working together to achieve common goals. We’ll also educate you on SERP Personalization so you can understand why everyone doesn’t see the same results – and the opportunities that come with it.
