Why is SEO important?

Optimising your website is not an easy and quick process and, only if implemented correctly and continuously, it will help any business improve their online ranking, performance and visibility.

Search engines use complex algorithms to generate search results and they are constantly changing. The exact specifics of the algorithms are unknown and SEO requires a lot of research and experiments to better understand the target market and create a strategic plan. It takes time to see ranking improvements and even then the results are not guaranteed.

Fortunately, there are quite a few methods SEO experts have developed that will help improve rankings. One of the most important things to remember is to create a website that is built for its users, not the search engines, so making sure your website delivers what consumers are looking for is a priority. Another very important factor is the structure of your website. Search engines need to see pages linked together to be able to find their content. There are many other important elements to consider when creating SEO strategy: keywords, link building, meta tags, URL structure to name just a few.

What is Local SEO?

Local SEO is different from 'normal' SEO as it's all about optimising business for reaching potential new clients searching for local services or products. If you offer services or products locally your website will have to be effectively optimized for these specific locations to allow your business to appear on page 1 of search engine's search. Most of the local searches are conducted on mobile phones so making sure your website is mobile friendly is a must.

We are an official Google My Business Partner

The very first step of a local SEO strategy is Google My Business as without it you won't be showing on local map listing. Setting up Google My Business page is free and fairly straightforward but there are few important elements to ensure it's correctly optimised.

Schema.org, reviews, landing page title tag, URL, local keywords, content, link building, social media and local citations are all very important factors when creating an efficient local SEO strategy.
