Search engine optimisation (SEO)

Is there a cost-effective way of generating high quality traffic, and lots of it?

The vast majority of people rely on search engines to help them find what they’re looking for online. Your website is vying for attention alongside several million others so finding a way to channel as many customers as possible to your site first is critical.

Search engine optimisation (SEO) helps to drive traffic to your website and generates great return on investment.

What is search engine optimisation?

Still considered the most cost effective form of marketing, search engine optimisation is more straightforward than you might think.

Businesses want to be found for relevant terms and search engines want to yield results to surfers. It makes sense that if your site has something people are looking for you’ll rank highly on the search engines’ organic listings.

What do search engines want?

On-page factors are features on your web page, including content and coding, that affect how it ranks. They aren’t enough on their own to ensure a decent ranking, so remember:

• The quality and relevance of your content is crucial in influencing your ranking and helping to convert visitors into customers.
• Search engine optimisation considers the underlying coding of your page. Done properly, it helps your page rank highly on search engines.

Off-page factors, which include links from your website to other prominent sites, blogs, social media and online press releases, are all essential to your rankings with search engines.

Of these, link popularity remains the most important, so compelling, relevant content is crucial. When your website contains quality information that is prized by your industry and customers, you are increasing the likelihood that well-established, trusted websites, like national newspapers for example, will link to it and generate high levels of traffic.

Happily, there are a range of search engine marketing services that help you build site popularity by blending great content with supporting initiatives that include online press releases, blogging, and social media.
