What Does SEO in Birmingham Consist Of?
-
SEO, which stands for search engine optimisation, consists of combining a range of different practices in order to improve the visibility of a website on search engine results pages. In order to achieve this, there are multiple elements that need to be carefully balanced.
Firstly, content is essential in a good SEO strategy. The quality of content on your website can have a significant impact on how well it ranks, as well as how high the conversion rate is. So, when we begin a campaign for SEO in Birmingham, we will look at the content on a website and how it can be optimised. Usually this will involve expanding on the content already on the page, optimising it with relevant keyword targets, creating and updating news or blog sections on a website and continually looking at how content can be more engaging for changing audiences. Under this category we also have the creation and optimisation of meta titles and meta descriptions, which are used in order to offer a snippet of relevant information to users on the search engine results pages, as well as being an opportunity for further optimisation.
Next we have keywords, which are a central part of any campaign for SEO in Birmingham. At the beginning of a campaign, extensive keyword research is completed in order to establish relevant keywords for each page on the website that will be optimised. A combination of relevance and search volume is considered in order to make the right selection. Simply choosing a phrase with a high search volume is not effective if it isn’t highly relevant to the product or service being sold on the website. Competition also needs to be considered, as choosing a high search volume keyword for a brand new website at the beginning of a campaign will make it extremely difficult to compete with more established websites in ranking for that keyword.
Another aspect of our campaigns for SEO in Birmingham is building backlinks. Building a strong backlink profile is one of the hardest things to get right, but when you do, your website will massively reap the benefits. Link building involves outreach to high quality and relevant blogs, to build a link from their website to the clients website, thus passing on authority. There is a rigorous process used in our SEO Birmingham campaigns to judge the quality of a link, including authority metrics, the topic, the relevance of the website and multiple other factors to create a natural link profile.
Although there are many other components to a white label campaign for SEO in Birmingham, which can be discussed in more detail during a meeting with one of our directors, these are the core components that will make up the majority of the campaign.
What Does Technical SEO Include?
-
In addition to the services mentioned above, technical SEO is another key element to a campaign. In order for SEO in Birmingham to be successful, it is important that the website itself is optimised in a way that is effective for both users and also Google’s algorithms. This includes making sure that search engine bots are able to index both your mobile and desktop website effectively.
Whilst technical SEO is complex, a few of the core components include making sure that the website is fast, that it can be interacted with easily, that the website is stable enough, as well as many other elements regarding the back end of the website. We can identify any weaknesses in the initial audit which can then be improved throughout the course of the campaign for SEO in Birmingham.
How Long Does It Take For SEO To Work?
-
As a rule of thumb, it will take between 3 and 6 months to start to see results from an SEO campaign, or even up to a year in some circumstances. This is something we are very honest about with clients before they begin their campaign for SEO in Birmingham, as it does require long term thinking. Increased rankings don’t happen overnight, especially if a website is new or has very low authority. It also takes time to catch up to competitors who may have already been running an SEO campaign in Birmingham for months, if not years.
So, being aware that SEO takes time is essential. However, once you do begin an SEO campaign in Birmingham, it is a fantastic long term strategy that can continue to be built on to establish long term success and a great return on investment.
What Does Digital Marketing Include?
-
As well as SEO in Birmingham, we also offer a range of other digital marketing services, to provide an entire digital marketing strategy under one roof.
Paid search is one of the services we offer alongside our campaigns for SEO in Birmingham, which refers to generating traffic to a website through paid advertisements on search engine results pages. PPC, Google Shopping and Display Marketing are all underneath the broader paid search umbrella. Paid search can be a very effective component in a digital strategy and the best options for your business can be discussed during an initial proposal.
Social media, both organic and paid, is another service that we offer. We all know that social media is an integral part of any digital strategy, however without the right guidance, it can be easy to get lost in an extremely saturated market. When used strategically, social media is an extremely valuable tool that can increase sales, improve brand awareness or both, depending on the goals of the campaign. The needs of your business, target audience and overall aims will all be considered in order to create the best results and return on investment.
Another option is retargeting, which is a fantastic way to encourage customers to return to your website after initially viewing your products or services. A huge amount of users won’t make an inquiry or purchase the first time they visit a website, so retargeting, also known as remarketing, helps to remind users about your business and may encourage them to make a purchase. We have vast amounts of experience in retargeting and this service works especially well when combined with a campaign for SEO in Birmingham.
