Our Detailed SEO Process

Audit

We carry out an SEO audit on your website and measure your SEO performance. From this audit, we see opportunities for improvements. Improvements are often made in two areas: 1. Optimising or creating content 2. Technical aspects of your website.

Research

SEO research is all about gaining valuable insight into what your customers are searching for online. If we are making SEO improvements to content we’ll research all of the key words and terms that your target audience uses as queries in search engines. We’ll also research popular questions related to your content, additional modifier terms and content that already exists in that area. From this, we have an idea of what people are searching for, what types of content they like and what they need. We can also see content gaps and opportunities for a brand to be visible in a relevant SERP.

Tech Fixes

If our SEO audit uncovers any technical problems or areas of opportunity in the code of your website, we recommend changes and either work with your website developer to resolve the issues or we simply fix the problems ourselves.

Monitor

When we make SEO improvements or fixes to a website, we monitor the impact of those changes. Keeping an eye on how your website performs after we’ve changed something enables us to learn and adapt our approach to SEO on your website.

Report

We monitor SEO performance using several digital measuring tools. Those tools give us data insights that allow us to report back to you. We’ll always be honest about results. We will also give recommendations on how we can address performance issues.
