Designing a pretty website that’s user-friendly is of no value if you can’t be found by the search engines and the people looking for your products or services. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of making your web pages easily visible, understood and ranked highly in the search results produced by the major search engines, especially Google and Yahoo/Bing, which together account for more than 90% of searches.
Many factors contribute to your rankings. Google acknowledges “When a user enters a query, our machines search the index for matching pages and return the results we believe are the most relevant to the user. Relevancy is determined by over 200 factors…” When Google sees your web page contents as more relevant and competent than your competition’s you are listed closer to the top on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). The higher ranking sites get more traffic and ultimately, more business!
Using strictly ethical practices and techniques including keyword research, image optimizing, unique content writing, attention to page loading speeds and high quality internal and external linking we develop your website to be search engine friendly right from the start. We do not believe that SEO should be an expensive add-on to your website.
