Search engine optimization is a constantly evolving industry and one that requires a lot of work to stay well informed and up to date on what works and what doesn’t. It really is more than just “making awesome content and getting it promoted”.

That said, there are a lot of practices – solid keyword research, proper site structure and theming, excellent keyword mapping, and technical SEO to name a few – that have stood the test of time within organic search. Many areas of on-page SEO and off-page SEO continue to work.

Regardless of whether you decide to join our family we hope that you can learn from our search engine optimization tutorials and gain a stronger understanding of SEO to best serve your clients.

So what is search engine optimization?

In case you’re new to all of this, search engine optimization is the process of improving your website’s visibility and rankings in the organic results of search engines. This is done by improving both on-site and off-site factors that search engines deem important, resulting in improved organic performance.

Even though SEO is so confusing and frustrating, it is still an amazing source of traffic, leads, and sales, especially for small businesses. In fact, organic search is responsible for over 60% of website traffic across all industries.

However, it’s really hard to understand what works and what doesn’t if you aren’t constantly trying and testing different strategies. Fortunately, that’s where we come in. And we’re going to share our knowledge with you.

Local SEO is all about competing for search terms within a geo-specific region.

Managing multiple physical locations and multiple GMB profiles can be tricky. Let us help you with your Local SEO.

Google My Business

While not specifically part of the organic search results, the Google My Business 3-pack map listing is a crucial part of local SEO and competing in local markets, especially in those with higher competition within the regular organic search results. Getting into the 3-pack can typically mean equal traffic volume as the top five organic placements.
