Planning
Whether you’re looking to boost search engine rankings, maximise visits, or promote a specific project, we work closely with our clients to create a brief that captures your own unique objectives.
Research
Our SEO campaign begins with fundamental keyphrase research. Here we establish which search terms are being used in your sector, their relative volumes and their subsequent worth to the campaign.
Optimisation
We then review your website's technical composition - providing clear recommendations as well as support in the resolution of any roadblocks - as well as its semantic optimisation, focusing on the placement of search terms throughout priority locations on each webpage.
Execution
Our ongoing campaigns involve the execution of creative and content-driven techniques both on- and off-site. Here we deliver everything from optimising product or service pages and creating blog posts, through to sourcing editorial opportunities on external websites.
Reporting
Our monthly reports illustrate and monitor the performance of each campaign. Rather than dish out meaningless statistics without context, our reporting is designed to deliver insights and recommendations to drive your campaign forward.
Campaign planning
Each digital campaign begins with an immersion session so we can develop an accurate understanding of your brand and business objectives. Whether you’re looking to boost search engine rankings, maximise visits, or promote a specific project, we'll work closely with you to fully understand your brief and focus on your individual goals.
Keyphrase research
Our SEO strategy begins with the fundamental process of keyphrase research, to establish which search terms are being used by your customers, their relative volumes and their subsequent worth to the campaign.
Optimisation & configuration
The next step is to build solid foundations for your website. Firstly, we review the website's technical composition - providing clear recommendations as well as support in the resolution of any roadblocks for search engines. We then ensure the effective placement of search terms throughout priority areas of the website.
Campaign execution
Based on a tailored campaign strategy (which we produce for every client), we commence work on both onsite and offsite activities. Depending on our client's objectives and their website, this could cover anything from optimising individual pages on a website, to creating new onsite content; or from sourcing editorial opportunities offsite, to analysing competitor backlink profiles.
Insight-driven reporting
We produce monthly reports to illustrate and monitor the performance of each campaign. This includes keyphrase visibility, as well as the KPIs that matter most to your business. Our reporting aims to deliver insights and recommendations that will have a big impact not just on your search campaign, but on your wider marketing too.
