Your SEO Campaign
The dictionary describes SEO as 'the methods used to boost the ranking or frequency of a website in results returned by a search engine, in an effort to maximize user traffic to the site' - sounds simple doesn't it? Essentially this is all SEO is, however, what the dictionary fails to point out is the increasing competition for your keywords and market place and the continual development of website ranking algorithms. Therefore, it is vital to ensure you have a campaign in place that not only gives you an immediate boost in the search engines but a system for continual monitoring and improvements so you won't get over-taken by your competitors.
There are many methods used to boost your website from on-page optimisation, where your website pages will be improved for specific keyword targeting, to off-page optimisation by building links with articles, blogs, info-graphics, guest posts, product reviews and links from suppliers and partners.
It is also important to mention that search engine ranking algorithms are becoming more sophisticated where they take into account website traffic numbers, your website content, your social media presence and the user experience on your site. These are all factors that TheSEOBarn can help you with.
