Research, Analysis, Recommendations and Strategies
We learn your business objectives, objectives for your site, Web site plans, promotional plans, and budget. Using your input, clues from your top competitors, and keyword selection tools, we determine the set of keyword phrases most likely to position your site high in the search engines and drive qualified prospects to your site.
We use tools such as WordTracker and Overture (Now Yahoo) Keyword Suggestion tool to target the right keywords to help you achieve a high position.
We recommend a strategy for promoting those keywords on your home page, other pages, data-driven product pages (if you have them), and Pay for Click advertisements.
Benchmark Before Optimizing
Web position for important keywords is measured and documented to identify where improvement is needed and to establish a basis for comparison. We search for multiple keywords on multiple search engines, and generate a report that can be seen on a private Web site.
Monitor and Improve Results To Stay Ahead
Search engines are constantly changing. Your competitors are constantly improving. You may have not budgeted for a strong enough first effort to take the lead and keep it. Sometimes we make wrong decisions the first time. Some things do very well, and you may want to build on that success.
To get ahead, stay ahead, and expand your good results, you need to measure your success and failures, and make appropriate changes.
We monitor your Web traffic statistics with tools provided by your Web hosting provider and again generate Web Position reports. We analyze results, discuss them with the client, come up with a plan and implement it, typically on a quarterly basis.
