What is SEO and How Does it Help my Business?

What is SEO?

 

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the practice of improving your website's visibility and ranking on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Essentially, it's about optimizing your online presence so that when people search for products, services, or information related to your business, they're more likely to find you.


Now, how does SEO help your business? Well, consider this: When potential customers are searching online for something you offer, they typically click on one of the first few results that appear on the search engine results page (SERP). If your website isn't among those top results, you're missing out on valuable traffic and potential customers.


By implementing effective SEO strategies, you can improve your website's ranking and visibility, making it more likely to appear at the top of search results. This increased visibility can lead to more organic traffic to your site, which in turn can result in more leads, conversions, and ultimately, business growth.


In essence, SEO helps your business by:

  1. Increasing Visibility: By optimizing your website, you increase its chances of appearing in relevant search results, making it more visible to potential customers.
  2. Driving Organic Traffic: Higher visibility means more organic traffic to your site, as users click through to learn more about your products or services.
  3. Building Credibility and Trust: Websites that rank well in search results are often perceived as more credible and trustworthy by users, which can positively impact your brand reputation.
  4. Targeting Qualified Leads: SEO allows you to target specific keywords and phrases that are relevant to your business, ensuring that the traffic you attract is more likely to convert into leads or sales.


Overall, investing in SEO can be a powerful way to boost your online presence, attract more customers, and ultimately, drive business growth. The most important thing to know about SEO is that it takes time, with results appearing over the course of 3-6 months.

How do I Measure my Performance?

We used Key Performance Indicators, also known as KPI. These usually consist of two "layers":


Primary KPI

  1. Organic Leads/Revenue
  2. Organic Traffic


Secondary KPI - Site Health Indicators

  1. Engagement Rate (formerly: Bounce Rate, Time on Page, Sessions per User)
  2. Aggregate Ranking
  3. Impressions
  4. Click-Through Rate


These items, when combined, help us get a holistic overview of how your website is performing. We can further define successful key phrases, identify new key phrases, and otherwise seek out new opportunities to help you find new customers!

This also helps me specifically, the SEO guy, as I get to experience your business first hand. Content is King, but Context is Queen!

What do I get in my SEO Package?

Technical support, content creation, visual website improvements, and more!

As each package is unique, it's easiest to just give you an idea of what all can be included in your websites SEO package:

  • Content creation, editing, modification, and optimization. Content is King! Without good content, Google has a hard time understanding your website and that means less people finding you and buying your product or service. Every SEO campaign will include content creation or editing at some level, it's a pre-requisite that is required. Deliverables can vary from 2-5 pages a month, up to 20.
  • Technical optimization is always included as well, many items SEO's can fix such as 404 errors, looping 301 redirects, and some niche cases like image optimization. That being said, some Core Web Vitals require a professional Developer of some sort.
  • If on Shopify, we are experts at stitching together new page templates and designs using your existing theme. We do this for two reasons, firstly it's always nice to make a page pretty and bring it into line with "best practices" of UI/UX. Secondly, we can cook in SEO practices such as interlinking, improved content with targeted keywords,
