Why is this important? |
|
Keyword Research |
Keyword Discovery
|
A list of keywords relevant to your site services or
products, along with estimated search volume and estimated percentage of
visitors your site could expect in the top positions for these keywords.
Also includes positioning difficulty for each keyword. Positioning
difficulty is determined by dividing the competing number of pages by
estimated search volume.
|
Knowing which keywords to build your optimization
efforts around is imperative. Choose the wrong keywords and you could
have high rankings for obscure terms that never deliver any visitors.
Or, you might spend months chasing top 10 rankings for terms which may
take years to achieve. Our Keyword Discovery will help you identify the
terms to target immediately, and those to target over time.
|
Current rankings in Google, Yahoo! and MSN for target
keywords
|
A detailed report of exactly where your site appears
in the search results for your targeted keywords
|
There's no way to measure the success of a search
campaign if you don't know where you're starting. Beyond the top 10 or
20 results, we will search as deep as 500 results to give a very
specific measure of where your site is now.

Site Strategy |
Content Development Recommendations
|
A review of existing site content, and suggestions
for modifications which would improve the rank of content in search
engines. Also includes specific recommendations for new content and
distribution instructions.
|
Content is king. That phrase has been mentioned in
relation to search engine optimization in numerous articles, speeches
and blogs. To be king though, you can't just have content, you need good
content. Who decides what content is good? In search engine
optimization, both search spiders and human visitors. Our Content
Development Recommendations will account for robot and human traffic to
help set your site apart as one with royally good content.
|
Meta Tag Review
|
Recommendations for improving the title, description
and other appropriate tags to aid page focus
|
When search engines first came about, optimization
could just be adding a few Meta tags to a page. While modern search
engines use many more factors to rank pages, they do still pay attention
to Meta tags. A site will not rank well on optimized tags alone, but can
improve its rank by tweaking tags.
|
URL Review
|
Analysis and recommendations of specific methods to
improve URL structure. |
Certain URL structures are as good as telling search
engine spiders to go away. All other things being equal, if a site with
an unfriendly URL setup were competing with a site with a search
friendly URL setup, the site with the search friendly URL would likely
end up on top.
|
|
Link Strategy |
Link Popularity
|
A report on the current amount of links indexed in
major search engines. Includes anchor text of existing links, as well as
the meta and title tags of link pages.
|
The sites with the best chance of ranking for competitive, high
traffic terms are those with good content and good links. While King
Content might do well on his own for low-competition terms, without
Queen Links for medium to high competition terms, he will not get far.
Our link popularity report will show how many sites are linking to
yours, as well as the words they use to describe your link and the
general theme of the page your link appears on.
|
Directory Submission List
|
A list of more than 100 directories to submit your
site to, ranked by a listing value score. Listing value is determined by
the age of the directory, number of sites linking to the directory and
search accessibility of the directory. Also includes recommended title
and description text and suggested category.
|
Directories can be a good place to start acquiring
targeted links. However, all directories are not created equal.
Human-edited, established directories which only list sites that closely
relate to their categories are usually given more trust by search
engines than automated directories. For that reason, the most valuable
directories can be harder to get into, and once you have an entry it can
take a very long time to make any changes. Our list includes
recommendations so that your site listing is more likely to be approved,
and maximize the value of a listing.
|
Link Seeker Site List
|
An extensive list of sites you should seek links
from, ranked by link value. Link value is determined by the age of the
site, number of backlinks to the site, and pages indexed. List is
filtered to exclude cached and duplicate sites. Email contact
information for each site is provided when available. Includes a sample
contact email and recommendations for purchasing links.
|
The number of links is no longer as important as who
you have links from. Do all of your links come from one site? Or worse,
one site that no one else links to? Chances are those links won't count
for much with the search engines. Our Link Seeker List provides you with
a list of the sites who would provide you with the most beneficial links
so that you're contacting the right people from the start.
|
Internal Link Analysis
|
A review of your internal link structure including
anchor text and page name. Instructions on creating a search friendly
site map.
|
Links from other sites aren't the only ones that
matter. Optimizing the links within your own site can have an impact
when it comes to ranking well.
|
|
Competitor Analysis |
Top Ranked
|
An in depth analysis of the competing site which is
consistently ranked above yours for key phrases.
|
If there is a website which consistently outranks
yours in the search results for key phrases, this analysis will uncover
content and link structures that lead search engines to believe they are
more relevant.
|
Top Linked
|
Examines the competing site with the most links
|
While a website with quality links can beat one with
a large quantity of mediocre links, it's worth examining the competing
site with the most links to discover new targets for acquiring links.
