How does SEO work?

Search engines have bots that crawl websites gathering all necessary information to understand what the site is about. Using this information, they are then able to provide applicable search results based on searches for keywords and/or topics.

SEO is a recipe with many ingredients. Experts in the field use a combination of keywords and strategies to increase the presence of your site for specific, relevant searches.

How much does SEO cost?

There are many different types of SEO services, so the cost may vary. Most businesses that take online marketing seriously consider SEO services a monthly marketing expense. On average, ongoing SEO work may cost $550 - $1,000 per month.

Why is SEO important?

SEO is crucial because it makes your website more visible and makes sure that you are found! Using effective local SEO practices will allow you to naturally gain higher rankings in search results and, as a result, drive more people to your website.

What is technical SEO?

You want your website to be easily indexed and accessible to search engine bots. This is where technical SEO comes in. It works to ensure that your sitemaps, URL, navigation, schema, and other elements are all in place so that your site can be crawled easily and make search engines aware that your site has value and needs to be seen. Using technical SEO will improve your organic rankings.

What is on-page SEO?

Simply put, on-page SEO focuses on what you control. It refers to optimizing web pages using certain keywords to increase search visibility. These keywords are often used throughout the copywriting or content on a page, including titles and headings. Adding internal links along with the keywords is also considered on-page SEO.

What is off-page SEO?

Off-page SEO uses outside sources to impact your search engine rankings. These include things such as brand mentions, guest blog posts, social networking, and the like in which there is a link or mention promoting or vouching for your brand or website. In other words, off-page SEO drives traffic to your site based on an outside source.

What is white hat SEO?

White hat SEO refers to ethical and legal practices that can improve your website's search engine results while staying within the confines of the search engine's terms of service. It is commonly done through organic link building, which involves linking to other websites using keywords and relevant, trustworthy landing pages.

What is black hat SEO?

Quite the opposite of white hat SEO, black hat SEO is not ethical as it violates the search engine's terms of service. A few examples of black hat SEO are keyword stuffing, invisible text, and doorway pages. Many people get lured into these practices because they seem like a fast and easy way to significantly elevate search rankings. Unfortunately, it can seriously ruin your credibility and visibility.

How long does SEO take to work?

SEO is not meant to give you instant results. Instead, it is a tool for building your site for long-term success. There is no set amount of time in which you should see results, but it generally takes about 3 months to 6 months to a year for them to really start showing. Organic SEO is similar to planting perennials in your garden. Our job is to water and fertilize each month to deliver consistent and measurable results.
