You can easily get confused by all
search engine optimization companies and SEO experts that offer SEO services. It's hard to know who to trust or what should be included in a SEO proposal. I will endeavor to clarify some of these points for you in this article, so that you can make
best choice when looking for SEO services. I don't profess to be a search engine optimization expert but have attained top rankings for my own site plus some of my web site design clients.What a SEO proposal should include:
SEO objectives Site Analysis Keyword Research Competitive Analysis SEO Copywriting Creation of Meta Information Site Map Creation Link Popularity Building Web Site Load Time and HTML Validation Downloading and Uploading of Web Pages Browser Search Engine and Directory Submissions Compatibility and Resolution Checking
THE PROCESS
The process will differ for new sites versus established sites. If a new site has been built with SEO in mind, many errors can be avoided. An established web site may already contain SEO or design errors that need to be repaired so it can attract visitors and make sales.
SEO objectives
Increase your search engine presence, rankings, number of visitors and ultimately
sale of your products.
Site Analysis
An overall analysis is first done on your site, to assess what is needed to best optimize it for
search engines. Based on this analysis
proposal is adjusted to include
necessary work to be done. This may include: design, layout, navigation, colors, background, fonts, images, broken links, meta tags, web copy, html validation, browser and resolution compatibility, loading times, search engine rankings, site statistics and creating error pages.
All of
factors listed above have some influence in attracting search engine spiders and visitors to your site.
These factors are already taken into consideration (which makes it much easier) if I design your site from scratch.
An established site already indexed by
search engines will need to be thoroughly analyzed for errors before optimization can begin.
Keyword Research
One of
basic steps in search engine optimization is keyword research. Here competitive keywords relating to
site and unique to your domain are found. Keyword research is done to maximize
impact of search engine optimization. When your site ranks well, more relevant customers come to
site leading to an increase in conversions and hence income for
site. The accurate identification and careful selection of these important keywords and key phrases can literally make or break any web site or online business.
