Search engine optimisation or SEO as it’s commonly known, is the process that helps your website rank more highly on the search engines and ensures your customers find your website not your competitor’s.

The process will be in the form of on-site and/or off-site changes. Any changes carried out will be in line with the latest search engine guidelines and optimisation techniques. SEO isn’t about cheating, misleading the search engines or putting off paying customers.

It’s about turning your website into a consistent way to generate business through search engines such as Google.

Because search engine optimisation is one of the most cost-effective ways to make money online. 93% of traffic on the internet is directed through the search engines.

That’s 93% of the millions of people looking to research services and make purchases. SEO puts your website in front of those people, increasing the number of online sales that you receive.

The amount of time it takes your website to hit the first page of the search engines depends entirely on your website, the industry you’re in and the key words that you’d like to target.

 If your business is in an industry with low competition online, chances are your still will rank relatively quickly. However, if your industry is more competitive online, it can take several months before your site appears on the first page of Google.

SEO, UK or worldwide, is made up of the same basic elements, the most important of which are the keywords or key phrases that you use for your website. When someone types a search term into a search engine, we refer to this term as the keywords or a key phrase.

 For example, someone trying to find a real estate company may type “real estate Marbella” in the Google search box – “real estate Marbella” would be the key phrase here. Hiring a UK SEO expert will assist you with discovering the best key phrases to use for your business website.

If you decide to learn how to do SEO, you’ll soon discover that there are many factors involved in carrying out effective search engine optimisation.

An important factor for most search engines is that the content of your site matches the typed in key phrase. Your site should therefore be written with certain key phrases in mind. We use the latest software that enables us to pinpoint the optimal key phrases that are associated with your business.

A good key phrase is one that actually gets typed in by users, but has very few other web sites competing for it. A key phrase like “web site design” is certainly typed in thousands of times every day, but there are tens of thousands of web sites competing for this phrase so it would be hard to get a good ranking for this.

 Also, a phrase like this is not specific enough for a web design company’s needs because someone searching for “web site design” may simply be searching for tips on good web site design.

 A better phrase to base your search engine optimisation on would be “web site design companies Spain”, which has less sites competing for it, but still receives quite a few business related search requests every day.

Undertaking effective keyword research will enable you to discover the most appropriate words and phrases to use for your website.

Search engines (especially Google) measure your site’s importance by looking at which websites link to your site. Each site that links to you is classed as a ‘vote’ – you get a higher vote if the site linking to you is both related and also considered important by the search engine.

When you know how to do SEO or hire a UK SEO expert, you’ll soon discover how to find the most appropriate places to get links and increase your own site’s link popularity.

They sure do and when you know how to do SEO effectively, you’ll be able to easily weave your keywords and phrases into your text yet keep it natural for the website visitor to read.

 Studies show that customers will read longer Web copy if the text is well presented and easy to read. Certain usability techniques can enhance readability, making even long text easy to read. Furthermore, customers like text – it’s the only way they can make an informed decision about whether they want to work with your company.

Customers will read your SEO writing as long as it’s persuasive, informative and interesting.

Absolutely not! Spam refers to methods some companies adopt to deceive search engine algorithms, by exploiting “loopholes” in their systems.

 These methods only tend to work short term (if at all) and in most cases lead to a ban. Most search engines have a Spam reporting procedure and many companies will not think twice about reporting your site if it utilises spam techniques (especially if their site had been pushed down the rankings by yours!).

Spam includes: doorway pages, cloaking, invisible text, tiny text, page stuffing, duplicate pages and keyword saturation.

Site ranking tends to be “cumulative” and is dependent, among other things, on the following factors:

The specific keyword phrases (search terms) that have been targeted

The overall competitiveness of your industry online

Whether you are targeting a regional, national, or international market

How well ranking is monitored and the site tweaked over time for SEO improvement

The progress of your reciprocal linking campaign

The number of competitor sites achieving new ranking themselves

Nobody can guarantee a number #1 position or specific ranking for your site for a given keyword phrase. There are simply too many factors beyond anyone’s control – the search engines changing their ranking algorithms, efforts made by competitors, and new sites being added to the Web.

This is a sort of ongoing competition in which you must keep playing hard and using strategy to reach for the top.

We do however guarantee that we can get your keywords onto page 1 of Google within 6-9 months depending on the level of competition for your keywords and if you follow our advice to get your site ranked.
