What is SEO?
Search engine optimization – usually referred to by the acronym “SEO” – is the practice of getting a website recognized and indexed by the search engines, through the utilization of specific, targeted keywords that are specific to your site and what it is that you are offering the consumer. A comprehensive SEO strategy also involves elements like meta text – that is, text that is visible to the search engines but not the basic site visitor – as well as content and backlink strategies through article writing and press releases.
A professional SEO company knows the ins and outs of crafting website content – both visible and hidden from the basic site visitor – to make the site appealing to the search engine indexing programs. This means your site will, over time, rank high in search engine results pages, leading to more website visitors who are looking for the services that you offer, which then leads to conversions, sales, and a greater return on your investment.
There are several key facets to search engine optimization practices; chief among them are:- Keywords – these are words and phrases that a person searching for a company / website offering services will enter into the search engine. As part of our SEO services, we here at BlueClaw will research and identify the keywords specific to your company, and then incorporate them into the website content.
- Website Content – the actual text of your website, the site content needs to be professionally crafted, with strategic use of keywords, including geographical terms, to help the search engines find your site. Of course, the content must be relevant to your site visitor: it doesn’t do you any good to have visitors coming to your site and then immediately leaving – known as “bouncing” in the online world – because your site lacks the information that they are seeking.
- Meta Text – another key factor for SEO practices is the use of honed, precise meta text – that is, text which is visible to the search engines – which helps the indexing robots learn what information is on the various pages of the site and how it might help a visitor.
- Article Writing – placed on special websites, articles are an excellent way to develop high-quality inbound links to your website, increasing your site’s visibility and leading to an increase in qualified visitors.
- Inbound Linking Strategies – an essential part of any SEO process is developing strategic inbound links – that is, links from well-developed existing websites – to your site, using the keywords that have been identified; this process increases your site’s weight in the indexing algorithms.
- Press Releases – another great SEO strategy is the select use of press releases – which we craft and distribute – that will lead to more site visitors and conversions.
- Niche Websites – a new SEO practice, niche websites are small, well-developed, extremely optimized websites that concentrate on just a few of your more important keywords; they are secondary to your primary site and will emphasize just one or two of your specific offerings for clients.
- Social Media Optimization – finally, social media optimization – abbreviated as SMO – is the process of increasing your brand recognition and appealing to targeted visitors through the use of social media opportunities such as Facebook and Twitter.
