INCREASED ORGANIC TRAFFIC IN JUST A FEW STEPS WITH SEO

How do we get you ranking on page 1?

Our process is straightforward, efficient, and delivers excellent outcomes for you and your company or organisation.

SEO Audit

We start off by taking an audit of your website as it currently stands. We’ll analyse your current performance and consider how we can best optimise your current website. This could be simple changes like optimising meta data, to more complex website fixes, like outstanding 404s. In this initial stage, we will work closely with you to develop your SEO strategy in line with your business goals, products, or service.

Keyword Research

Our initial keyword research will encapsulate your business’ chosen product or service. Our research will consider your intended audience, their search intention, and what level they have reached in the sales funnel. A carefully selected keyword will consider both search volume and how tailored the term is, ensuring that we only generate the most relevant leads from our directed traffic.

Competitor Research

Alongside keyword research we'll also do a deep dive into your known competitors, and find others that you may not even know outrank you in Google! We'll use our tools to analyse what your highest-performing competitors are ranking well for, helping you stay ahead of the curb and harness any untapped markets or industry-specific strategies. We'll also keep an eye out for any potential competitors new to market.

The SEO

Now begins the process of actual SEO, where we use our knowledge to help your website rank for your chosen keywords, increasing organic search traffic. Small modifications to your website's quality content are often all that is necessary to begin Search Engine Optimisation. While these changes may seem small, they can have a significant impact on your site's performance and user experience when combined with other optimisations. Learn more about the different types of SEO below. How can we help you?

Monitor Results

There is no point in a test without results, and this is why we track, measure, and analyse at each stage of the SEO process. What is working well, what needs further improvement, and what will we A/B test next? Using Google Analytics and our Client Tracking Portal we can monitor results, produce data or reports, and watch your organic traffic increase! These insights ensure that we can refine our strategies, focusing on what works, and you get to see exactly how our work has impacted your website.

Adjust & Repeat

SEO is always changing, and with each new Google algorithm update our strategies must be adjusted. It may take some time to see results, but as we closely monitor the impact of our work we are ready to go in and tweak, test, or repeat each stage as necessary. Plus, there are always upcoming trends to monitor and untapped keyword markets to discover. SEO is an ongoing process and there’s no end to where your company could go when we work together to help you grow!

There are many different elements to the SEO process.
Here are just a few.

Content Is King

Whenever we write content we ensure that it is both thoroughly researched and relevant to the end user, as well as SEO ready. You’ve probably heard it time and time again, but content really is king. If there is no content on your website, there is nothing for google to read or rank you based on. We ensure all content follows best practices from both a UX/UI perspective, as well as being Search Engine Optimised.

Technical SEO

Technical SEO covers everything that we can do to help your website perform better, without touching on-page content specifically. This may include ensuring that Google is reading your relevant pages, improving UX and accessibility, compressing images, or maximising site speed. We may also work closely with our web developers to help improve your core web vitals and general site speed from the front-end to the back-end files.

On-Page Optimisation

This process is what comes to mind when most people think of SEO. On-page SEO ensures your quality content is in line with the intent of your targeted keywords, providing the correct information for those searching for this term, as well as an in-depth, organised, and positive user experience. Each aspect of the page will be optimised, including content, meta data, H-Tags, images, the URL itself, internal links, and relevant external links. This process may also include further image optimisation, building a strong internal linking structure, and ensuring a positive user journey.

Off-Page SEO

Off-page SEO indirectly helps your website be seen by a variety of audiences. This may include improving your website authority through citations/ backlinks, putting your business in relevant directories, and stopping harmful or spam websites linking to your website – all affecting whether Google perceives your business as trusted. This work may also extend to improving your social media presence or the quality of your posts. We can also set up a Google My Business profile and optimise it, to help you be found through Google Maps or location data.

Local & International SEO

For local traders or those operating within distinct regions we also specialise in local SEO, using techniques that benefit from mobile location data and the popularity of ‘near me’ searches, tailored to a specific keyword or service. This method also benefits those that may be based in one area but want to target another, have multiple branches, or work within a certain radius. Your Google Business Page profile will also be optimised to effectively target your chosen regions. Location-based SEO can work on a local, regional, country-wide, or international level.

Frequently Asked Questions

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. This area of digital marketing helps improve your website’s ranking in google for carefully researched keywords. Getting you seen, increasing your visibility, and improving your website traffic. Using a range of strategies, we will boost your organic reach over time. If your website needs more high-quality traffic, then you need SEO services.

It depends on your specific business and marketing goals. SEO companies help improve your website's search engine rankings and drive more traffic to your site, which can lead to more sales or leads. However, if you have the time, resources, and knowledge to do SEO on your own, you may not need to hire an SEO company. Additionally, it's important to note that SEO is a long-term strategy and it can take time to see results.

If your competitors are using an SEO company and they most likely are then you should consider your capabilities internally compared to an agency.

SEO is important for small businesses because it helps them compete with larger companies by making their website more visible to potential customers through higher search engine rankings.

  1. Cost-effective: SEO is a cost-effective way to drive targeted traffic to your website. It can be less expensive than traditional forms of advertising such as TV, print or radio ads.
  2. Local SEO: SEO can help small businesses target local customers by optimizing their website for local search terms and by creating local business listings.
  3. Increased Visibility: SEO can help small businesses increase their visibility on search engines, making it easier for potential customers to find them.
  4. Credibility: A higher ranking in search results can increase a business's credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of potential customers.
  5. Long-term strategy: SEO is not a one-time effort, it's a long-term strategy that will continue to drive traffic and sales to your website for years to come.

Overall, SEO can provide a level playing field for small businesses to compete with larger companies and provide them with a cost-effective way to reach new customers.

The speed of SEO results usually depends on how fast our recommended changes can be implemented, and to what standard. As we work on an hourly basis, the same investment over 3 months for a 4-hour client could be achieved within 1 month for a 12-hour client, speeding up progress. However, generally, we tend to say 6-12 months is a good estimate for seeing some results from your SEO. This allows time for Google to read and recognise our changes and adjust your website rankings accordingly.

A monthly SEO budget should vary depending on the size of your business and the speed with which you want to see progress. Our rates are transparent and competitive within the SEO industry. We simply charge €45 per hour + VAT. Our packages start at 4 hours per month, with no upper limit. The possibilities of what can be achieved with SEO are endless, and our packages to this unlimited potential.

Many people believe that they can save time and money by learning SEO themselves. While it is true that there is a wealth of SEO resources out there, they often contradict themselves and can become quite confusing for those new to the field. In the long run, it isn’t faster, cheaper, or easier to do SEO yourself, as most often this then requires the work being started from scratch later on down the line, especially if the work is not future-proofed or updated as needed. However, we do sometimes work on a consultation-only basis and can help support our clients in understanding what we do.

We work with a range of industries and help businesses ranging from one-man-bands to SMEs, to huge corporations. Whether you’re familiar with SEO processes or need guidance throughout the process, we’re more than happy to help! We have also worked with a variety of external or in-house marketing teams or single-staff members. No matter your business model, we can be flexible in our work and adapt to suit your needs.
