Our ‘Spokane SEO Consulting & Review’ of Your Website

As with any journey, it’s best to know your starting point and your destination so you can come up with a good plan of action.  So, our ‘Spokane SEO Consulting’ starts with a review of your web site from an SEO perspective. We do a thorough analysis of your on site SEO, where you rank now with the search engines, as well as getting a profile of your current back links.

Then Our Spokane SEO Consulting Continues with Research of Your Market Niche, Keyword Phrases, and Competition Analysis

This is the meat grinder portion of our Spokane SEO consulting work.  It is where we dive in and dissect the market, find and analyze your competition, discover targeted keywords and search queries along with multiple variations, and get a thorough understanding of your market niche.   By the time this phase of our Spokane SEO Consulting is finished we will have keyword categories determined, as well as keyword phrase traffic and competition all laid out.  Although keyword research will continue based on our future analytics data, this comprehensive baseline research is at the foundation of our Spokane SEO Consulting and planning

Strategic Planning of How to Best Go After Your Market With the Data We Have Gathered

Having all the information on your competition as well as the best search terms to optimize your site for now laid out in front of us we can now move forward with the strategic SEO planning.  Implementing this planning will involve choosing from a broad range of tools and tactics including on site and off site SEO and Search Engine Marketing strategies.

On Site SEO Modifications and Structural Improvements Based on Our Planning

Under ideal situations all the above Spokane SEO consulting and related work is done before a web site is designed.  The reality though is that most will put together a website first and only later come around to realizing the importance of having all the on site SEO and structural issues corrected with the help of our Spokane SEO consulting services.  So, this is where we start making the changes, including to navigation, categories, url and file structure, headings and title changes, alt image tags, new meta data, and more.   Most of this can be done relatively easily.  Each situation is different, however, and some sites will need work done with site architecture in order for the search engines to more easily crawl the site.

Creation and Addition of Appropriate Value Content

To rank well in your market for a given keyword term your content should be unique and offer the visitor something of value, either in knowledge, pleasure, or satisfaction in some fashion.  You want them to not only remember your site, but to come back, and also to hopefully bookmark that page and tell others about it.  That’s the human side of the equation.  But, the search engines need to be fed too, so the page should have many SEO elements in the content, whether it is a relatively static page, or a post to a blog.

Always keep in mind that the search engines are in competition with each other for web users to prefer using their search engine over the competitions.  Ranking your website high in the results because of all the seo work being done well, but having people bounce right off your site once they arrive indicates to the search engines that they should rethink your high ranking for that term.  By your site providing valued content to the searcher  you will find that it is much easier to KEEP the organic search engine rankings you get.   As part of our Spokane SEO consulting we can discuss with you various ways to get good content for your site.

Our Spokane SEO Consulting Continues With Acquisition of Targeted Relevant Links

To many, this is kind of the secret sauce to SEO…i.e. how to get the right quantity and quality of links.  What is not a secret though, is that the web is just that, a web of links.  How many links? Are the links valuable and from trusted sources?  Are they from high PR (page rank) or relevant sites?  Some links will get you value, some will get you traffic, the best links will get you both.  With our Spokane SEO  consulting having earlier analyzed your competition, we will have a good idea as to the quality and quantity of links you need to become a dominant player for your market.  As your Spokane SEO consulting company, we will discuss with you a program that best utilizes your budget to get the right links to do the job.

Ongoing Analytics of Search Engine Rankings and Web Site Visitor Actions

Okay, now that we have done all this work, we need to monitor what happens and react accordingly.  So, our Spokane SEO Consulting can continue with analytics and the monitoring of visitors actions.  We also discover new search terms that people have used to find individual pages.  All this flowing incoming data gives us extremely valuable information that we can use to get more and better targeted customers that take the kind of action we want for your site.

Using SEO To Improve Search Engine Rankings & Overall Popularity

SEO or search engine optimization is something that every web owner and creator should be aware of. Even if a website owner hires an expert to carry out the online marketing, understanding the very basics and how it really can improve a websites performance and popularity is important.

Sometimes search engines can ban a domain name for what is called spamming. This is when it contains far too many keywords (keyword stuffing) or key phrases, and when a black hat type of SEO has been carried out. Key words are highly important from a search engine point of view. Optimizing a website means starting at the beginning, and including key-words relevant to the business adds value and brings to the website the visitors it is targeting. In basic terms, website content should be built around those important key words, which can be expanded upon over time.

Focusing on main keywords and phrases, then expanding them by looking at reports easily available on the net, or by looking at competitors and words they are using, is imperative to setting up and preparing a site so that search engines are easily able to crawl the site without encountering problems. Confusion can be created with a site that has every page aimed at a different target audience. The density, or how many times a key word or phrase appears is hugely important, to avoid being banned by a search engine for ‘spamming’.

Despite this, it can never be a complete guarantee that the site will appear above competitors. Not only is the on-site content and its relevance taken into consideration, but also dependent on quality links into that website (back links or inbound links) that are also active and receiving clicks (click through rate), the number of hits it already receives (current popularity) and how regularly the site is updated.

Keywords should usually be included, in the very least, in a page title, in the first and last sentence, headings on the page and in meta tags which are found in the page html or coding. In addition to this, the meta tags are important with the html itself needing to be neat and clean so that search engines find it easy to visit and evaluate a site. This is fairly basic optimization and should be the very least work done.

Not only is this basic job vital, there are alternative longer term issues to carry out too. Another important thing to mention is that the HTML code that the site is written in needs to be clean and easy for a search engine to follow. Some pages that they do find hard to follow sometimes are pages containing, or built with, flash, frames or javascript. They also do not find pages containing lots and lots of text, or not enough of it, very easy to follow.

Some well ranking sites actually use plenty of off site marketing which is fairly important in building back links to the website from relevant sites. A long term project but one which can really help. A good way of doing this is adding domain names and descriptions including keywords to directories and search engines that are relevant to the business (e. G. A regional directory is ideal for a local corner store to be added to).

SEO is not only the best way to prepare a site and keep it well maintained, but it keeps a site relevant and up to date, and interesting to its human visitors, a hugely important part of owning and running a website.
