What is Search Engine Optimisation?

Search engine optimisation involves improving your website so that it appears on Google, Bing and other search engines when somebody searches for services or products your company specialises in. When your website starts to rank in the top spots of a search page, its visibility increases, which leads to more web visitors, more leads, and eventually, more sales.

But getting a website to rank in key positions isn’t a quick or easy process. A lot of work and patience is needed to see results. Luckily, we’re around to do the heavy lifting, so you can see the benefits without having to take time out of your own day to get the job done.

Get Your Clients to Find You

The biggest benefit of SEO? Easy. When you get it right, your clients will come to you. Outbound work is tough. Cold calling, going to trade shows and networking are time-killers that don’t always lead to a sale.

But with SEO, you’re working on your inbound marketing techniques. In other words, clients come to you when they’re ready to buy, so none of your time is wasted in trying to complete a deal.

SEO Services That Deliver

Your website is a powerful tool for landing more sales, but if no one can see it, then its use drops by a great deal.

Strawberry Forge goes above and beyond to set out an SEO strategy that’s right for your business and that fits with your budget. From service pages to blog content, we get your website seen by the ideal target audience.

The SEO Process

There are a lot of steps involved in SEO, but a concerted effort makes the process a lot easier. We take on the brunt of the work, but your insights will point us in the right direction. Below, you’ll see the steps every good SEO agency should take.

1

Research

Research is split into three categories, and it’s by far the most crucial step. Before we start with your SEO efforts, we need to know: what keywords we should be targeting so your site can rank on search engines, what topics we should be discussing to attract the right target audience, and we also have to dive into your website and the sites of your competitors to see how your current efforts are fairing and what can be done to improve them further.

2

Workshop

Workshop sessions are where we really get to know you and your business, and we want to know everything. How do you want your company to come across through content? What are the best topics to discuss and what are the no-go areas? Have you seen something on a competitor’s website that — even though you hate to admit it — has hit the nail on the head? The more information you can give us, the better we can fine-tune our service so it works best for you.

3

Goal Setting

Once we know what you want to achieve through SEO, we’ll lay out the path to get you to the top. Setting SMART goals is the tried and tested method. So, every goal we aim for has to be: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. A good example of a SMART goal would be to “Increase organic traffic to the website’s home page by 5% every three months by rewriting content with industry keywords in mind.”

4

Content Writing

Content is the lifeblood of your website. Detailed website pages that fully explain your services, and blogs full of information that your target audience will find useful are your greatest assets when putting together an SEO strategy. Our content writers have years and years of experience between them, so creating straightforward and impactful content is second nature to them.

5

Review & Improve

Content should never be written, published and then put to one side. We track the progress of everything we write because it’s the only way to know if it’s actually seeing results. Content is given time to settle (blogs can bounce all around Google search pages within the first couple of months), and then we dive into the details. Is content ranking? How many keywords has Google picked up? How long are visitors staying on the page? Once we know what we’re working with, we take the time to build on results and secure the strong positions we’ve earned.

6

Report

Want to know how we’re doing? No problem. We take a holistic look at the content we provide you with, and send you digestible weekly updates. After three months and again at six months, we write full reports on our work, so you can see exactly what’s been achieved in your time with the Forge.

Content is Key

We mentioned it in the Process section above, but it can’t be understated: content really is the lifeblood of your website. Detailed web pages explain everything your target audience needs to know about your services and products. By providing a comprehensive outline of what you offer, leads can make the decision to contact you. This saves you from having to reach out to everyone in your contacts list, explaining exactly what it is you bring to the table.

Don’t forget; product and service pages can rank on search engines as well. One of our clients ranks on page one of Google for the keyword ‘used Rolex,’ a term that’s searched for over 4000 times a month.

Blogs are used to build trust with your audience. Provide visitors with useful information, and it will establish you as the problem solver they’ve been looking for. This is why our content revolves around problem-based search terms. We create long format blogs that cover the initial stages of your audience’s issues, establishing you as the go-to company from the outset.
