Today, most people will find a website simply by entering a few words in a search engine such as Google, Bing or Yahoo. The search engine spits back a long list of websites that correspond in some way to the search terms, or key words, used. Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is all about making your site rank as high as it possibly can in the search results. SEO is an active, ongoing process as Google and the other search engines are constantly changing their algorithms to produce high-quality search results that really correspond to what the searcher is seeking. A website owner needs to consider investing in SEO as a vital part of his or her overall strategy for building a web presence. In most cases, SEO will be a key part of the marketing package.

We employ sound, well thought out, SEO strategies that will build a strong presence for your site over time. An SEO campaign is typically measured over a minimum of six months. Our SEO work starts by targeting the right key words for your market niche. Good keywords will :

• be relevant to the content of your site
• generate quality traffic, i.e. bring you a sufficient number of visitors most likely to be interested in your product or service
• have acceptable levels of competition, i.e., will not be targeted by a large number of competitors, particularly your strong ones.
• have high commercial value, i.e., generate more sales

Finding keywords that meet all of these requirements is the goal in search engine optimization.

SEO interventions are categorized as on-page or off-page.

• On-page actions relate to your site's wording and architecture. The central aim in on-page SEO is to identify key words that are most frequently used in your business sector and make sure the different pages of your site make appropriate use of them to maximize your search engine results.
• Off-page SEO refers to measures to get links and references to your site to appear in a wide range of third-party sites. These could be online business directories, ranking/review sites, classified ad sites, 3rd-party blogs and forums. It might also involve distributing articles and press releases about your company to various targeted sites on the web. The concept behind this practice is that the search engines naturally value sites that are most valued by other sites. Good SEO practices involve obtaining backlinks to your site from high-quality sites that deal with relevant content.
