1. Initial Optimization – As the basis of any effective SEO program, we start with an initial optimization of the structure and content of your website.

2. Ongoing Linking & Optimization – Link-building is probably the single most important variable (alongside content) in determining your SEO success. We perform ongoing link building, along with continual optimizations and adjustments to your SEO strategy, to ensure your success.

Initial On-page SEO

Our initial on-page SEO is everything the spiders see on your website that affects your rankings. Our process starts with a keyword discovery process that focuses on achievable primary keywords and "long tail" keywords. The approved keywords are embedded into your meta tags, which help Google and other search engines organize and rank information. The actual coding, style, positioning, and saturation levels also are relevant factors that are a part of our on-page SEO process.

Ongoing Link Building & Optimization

Link building builds "votes" to your website (in Google's mindset). The more credible the votes, the more your rank increases. Rank affects both your "TrustRank" and "PageRank," both terms coined by Google. Relevant and effective link building through partners, articles, press releases, bookmarking, Blogs, reference sites, etc., is one of the most important factors in your search marketing.

Content Marketing

Through articles, press releases, blog posts,eBooks, webinars, landing pages, and more, we are able to enhance your digital "footprint" in your industry. Content is written for submission to industry channels and social news sites such as Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon, and is promoted through Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, etc. Press releases are distributed via high-ranking paid releases through PRWeb, which opens the doors to thousands of industry targets, regional targets, syndicated feeds, AP News Wire, Google News, Yahoo News, eMediaWire, and more. Releases include keyword anchor text, an embedded image, social bookmarking features, and other SEO-related functionality. Reporting on page reads, impressions, search engine traffic, and search terms is included. (Advanced reporting and embedded video are available for an additional charge.)
