Search Engine Optimization Minneapolis
Put plainly, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice
of adding key phrases to your
site in a way that the search engines take notice and appreciate.
A quality optimization will identify your web site to the search
engines as a site about some topic thus helping them rank you well
in a search on that term.
SEO and SEM - The difference
People often confuse Search Engine Optimization with Search Engine Marketing. Please see our SEO vs. SEM primer.
This is a soft science that requires commitment and recurring attention to the task. We will optimize your web site to our proven specifications and watch the listings. We will then track your ranking and alter the search engine optimization to strive for better results.
Something to keep in mind as you optimize - what good is a website to anyone if it doesn't have content worth reading? Build relevant content.
Keep up the effort
Unfortunately the days of "optimize and forget it" are over - you must revisit the SEO often. Gone also are the tricks of "hidden keywords" and "keyword stuffing." Too much optimization and Google will think you are playing tricks on them and push you down or out of the rankings. Zero search engine optimization and you will not appear to begin with.
Our team has a proven track record of optimizing for results in the free Search Engine Ranking Pages (SERPs).
- Don't be lulled into thinking that optimization will put you to number one on any/all terms. Search engine optimization is only one piece to the Internet web site marketing puzzle, but it is a cornerstone of any strategy.
- You should have a good idea of which SEO keywords to target. Visitors may not call your product or service by the same name and you need to use the words that they use in order to attract their visits.
- On the other hand, don't think that it's the only way to drive traffic. PPC marketing should function in tandem with SEO to reap full reward.
Finally, Build links
Once you have optimized your pages around your keywords, you must actively avail your site to the major traffic sources and bolster your importance through inbound links. The only way for search engines such as Google to know that you are important is by other sites linking to you.
SEO is not an easy task. For instance, this page is optimized for the term Search Engine Optimization Minneapolis. This term appears a few times on the page but it isn't over-bearing. Subtle optimization goes a long way. We don't intend to "stuff" your site with key words. If you have content relevant to your term, the optimization presents itself to the search engines.
