How Do We Measure Success?
It’s not unusual for people to be skeptical about SEO. Most of the work is highly technical and not easy to see. We often get asked “how do you measure the success of the SEO work that you do?” Fortunately, there are a range of tools and software that we employ that will directly measure ‘SEO metrics’. These metrics indicate what we are doing for you is making a difference.
Every month, we run a series of reports which collect a wide variety of information about your website (the website visibility, the number of visits, how many conversions (i.e., website enquiries), number of websites linking to the website, keyword rankings, where the site ranks compared to it’s competition, etc. Don’t worry, we explain it all to you in layman’s terms if you decide to go ahead with a campaign!
These reports are measured against a baseline report, which is taken before the campaign even starts. This way, we are able to prove to our clients that the work that we do really is making a difference.
Every month, we send you a report with an overview of what has improved, what we have been doing, and what work we will be doing over the forthcoming month.
Why pay for SEO when I can pay Google to promote my website?
If you use paid search marketing (otherwise known as Pay Per Click or PPC), your website will get visitors because you pay for your website to be higher up on Google. With SEO, however, you get website visitors because your website is naturally optimised to rank high.
If you use SEO to promote your website, you are forced to optimize your website: the quality of the content, the coding and usability, links to and from, etc. Although this requires (a lot) more work, your website and your revenue will benefit greatly from these changes.
Good SEO doesn’t only lead to increased visitors from search engines. It also leads to higher conversion rates and happy customers.
PPC is great if you have the money (in some cases a LOT of money) and if you need website visitors quickly. However, if you want to get high rankings that last without paying for every single click, use natural SEO to promote your site. At the end of the day, SEO has a much better return-on-investment. The major advantage between PPC and SEO is that once you stop paying for PPC your site disappears, however, with good SEO even if you stop paying or reduce the amount of work your site should still remain high (even if it drops a little over time).
