For web sites that have enjoyed thorough and professional on page SEO, (search engine optimisation) time is a great friend - the greatest friend perhaps. The only thing between the implementation of the SEO and rewarding search engine profile is a little time. If all's well at the outset, time will deliver results.
To deliver multiple pages to the top of the search results, it's important to realise a fundamental search engine truth - that age increasingly matters to the algorithm to establish what is the SEO holy grail, namely search engine trust. Trust that is established on stability and integrity.
Virtuous strategies such as foresight, planning, patience and execution of a well-orchestrated promotional plan are rewarded with the creation of highly authoritative sites. As with a game of strategically applied logic (chess, for example) where the conception of the plan and the foundations laid eventually impact the end game, the dimension of time, strategic planning, the adoption of that plan and its resolution each play a critical role in the final SEO analysis.
First things first; the fundamentals of SEO need to be outlined.
SEO is an holistic, inter-related discipline. Successful SEO requires a 'big picture' approach. Applied professionally and effectively it reflects the essence of an organisation, what that organisation is trying to achieve, why it is trying to achieve it and how.
There are a whole host of integrated techniques that need to be applied to create an effective SEO strategy. There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to SEO. Different websites, different organisations and different business objectives each need approaching on an individual basis. Effective SEO comes as no accident. It's the result of deploying a range of different techniques and the degrees by which they're applied to specific areas that best benefit each individual project.
Through each project life cycle from its inception through to regeneration as a new or consequent project, SEO Consult blend a comprehensive suite of expert SEO services. We design and deploy our solutions specifically to meet the exact needs of not simply your website, but more importantly your business objectives. Our SEO Consult experts partner our clients, clearly assessing their needs to formulate a package of SEO services that meet business objectives right where it matters - at the bottom line - complete, effective SEO strategies that deliver real returns. It's a results business, and at SEO Consult we deliver results.
At the outset we perform a strategic and technical analysis of the client's existing online presence. We gather performance information to provide a clear representation of both the historical situation and current performance. Through detailed requirements analysis we map the strategic SEO input necessary to meet business objectives.
Determining keywords and key phrases - your semantic space and the terms you will be targeting for engine indexing - is a vital first step in the SEO process and key to 'on-page' SEO. This is a task that must be tightly integrated with the definition of business objectives. Getting the keyword selection aligned with business objectives is absolutely critical.
Using a variety of advanced keyword research tools, SEO Consult identifies the cross over between your products and services and the search terms that a prospective audience will use to search for them. We identify audience behaviour and how they use language to search for the types of products and services that our clients offer. Research not only reveals the obvious and important keywords, but also the more obscure terms and even misspellings that can also prove profitable in delivering visitors to your site.
Our writers, in close collaboration with our clients, develop high quality, focused, relevant copy and content. Over time, embedded content becomes more cohesive and serves to reinforce a particular topic theme. Individual links gain the ability to sustain the page they reside on for a number of powerful keywords or phrases. Much in the same way that domain age has emerged an increasingly important aspect of the search engine algorithm, the natural affinity of aging content and links over time matures search engine trust.
Remember that patience is a virtue and SEO patience when lent to properly applied SEO is extremely well rewarded.
It is important to realise that the engines need time to re-crawl your site. Perhaps this might take only days or a couple weeks, but for many large sites and even for smaller sites that aren't high on Google's 'must crawl' priority list, it's not unheard of to wait as much as three to four months before a site's pages are fully updated. Make sure your XML site map is armed and ready and that your structure is spider-friendly. The engines also have to crawl all your link partners, and it's going to be a while before you experience the full impact of that. So that they don't overvalue manipulative linking, the engines factor in a period of time before they start to award them full weight. This is particularly true of new domains (or newly moved domains).
It also takes time to attract links, taking time for campaigns to reach their targets and the value of the site and off-page SEM to be recognised.
Once time has set the virtuous wheels in motion, trust, authority and high search engine positions start a form of self-generation.
Accelerated spidering and indexing rates from search engines acknowledge adjustments and new content, potentially adding weight to relevance.
Authority sites attract inbound links from other authority sites. People notice quality and want to be associated with it, benefiting themselves from a form of reflected glory.
Stability and authority insulate a site from algorithm adjustments. This allows site owners and SEO specialists to really focus on powerful marketing strategies. Identifying hot keywords and content that can be deployed quickly and creatively to generate visits and fulfilled calls to action is the name of the game. Over time a robust, trusted, authoritative and stable site should be able to stay ahead of the competition and focus largely on serving visitors and delivering to the bottom line.
