CustomerGetters’ SEO Success Blueprint

Enough with the SEO Voodoo Already! Despite what you may hear ... 70% of SEO is easy! And if you just get the foundations right you can grab an unfair advantage in your market. In many markets it definitely DOESN’T require continual expensive month-on-month optimisation. But what it definitely DOES require are strong “SEO Foundations” to ground your strategy and help set you off on a good SEO trajectory ... (and leave your competitors in the dust!)

The aim is to send Google the right SEO "signals" for their robots and algorithms ... so they rank your site higher than your competitors for the right bullseye (buying) keywords. So here’s what we do...

seo-success.png

STEP 1.

Determine Your Bullseye Keywords: We research your business, industry and target market (if we haven’t already). We find out what your customers want, what your business sells and we put the two together by way of a dozen or so carefully chosen bullseye keywords. What we DON’T want are keywords that are so specific they don’t generate enough traffic to actually attract anyone in particular. At the other end of the scale we also DON’T want keywords that are so “general" that they attract “everyone with a pulse” but are impossible to rank for. What we DO want are bullseye keywords that attract actual potential customers, actively looking for your prospective service and ready to buy now.

STEP 2.

Create Your Keyword Tree: Based on the Bullseye Keywords of your business and website we build a Keyword Tree for your website. That is, we allocate specific bullseye keywords to specific pages on your site. It’s about organising your website around your products and services and sales themes in a way that Google finds easy to understand … &, crucially, using wording that your customers find compelling. In short we tell Google and your customers exactly what your site is about, in a transparent and appealing way.

STEP 3.

Embed Your Bullseye Keywords (On-Page SEO): In this step we embed keywords in your pages based on the Keyword Tree built in Step 3. We get into your website’s “admin area” and “embed” the keywords in the following places (because this is where Google looks): 

  • your Title,

  • your Meta-Description,

  • your Body Copy,

  • your Headlines (H1-H3) and

  • your Alt Tags.

But we DON’T “keyword stuff”. It’s about strategically placing keywords within your site’s content and structure to provide the right signals to Google about what the site is about. At the same time it has to read naturally and make sense to a human.

STEP 4.

Off-Page SEO: If you have not already done so, we can sign you up for 

  • Google,

  • Google Analytics,

  • Google Search Console (Webmaster account)

  • Google Maps; Google My Business listing etc.

  • Automated SEO Tracking Reports (optional $10 a month).


Optional Extras

  • Monthly Blog writing & article submission, Review Gathering & SEO maintenance service.

  • We can analyze your results, provide independent reports on your progress on a weekly or monthly basis & provide updates on rankings & traffic increases for as little as $10 a month. 

  • We can enlist the help of software to spy on your customers as they crawl your site. Hotjar uses heat maps so you can visualise how your customers interact with your site. So you know what they like, and where the roadblocks are.

  • We can sign you up to directory listings with compelling words and photos. Search engines take into account you and your competitors’ presence in online directories when deciding which result to place at the top in local searches.

Here’s the thing

Many of your competitors are likely neglecting SEO basics. They have the same reservations as you about complexity, time (and overwhelm!). But they aren’t reading this, and they aren’t aware of CustomerGetters SEO Success Blueprint. So they are none-the-wiser to the well-kept secret: That 70% of SEO is easy. So it’s kind of a no-brainer really.

How do we do it?

Case Study

(this SEO work was completed on a SquareSpace site, but we work in other platforms as well)

 
  1. Connect Goole Search Console: Google Search Console (previously Google Webmaster Tools) is a free service that helps you manage your site's presence in Google search results. Through Google Search Console, you can request that Google index your site, meaning changes you've made will show up in search results sooner. After connecting Google Search Console, you can check Analytics to see which keywords visitors are using to find your site. We also set up your Sitemap.

  2. Connect Google Analytics to site if not already connected

Blog Titles & Excerpts: Again, use keywords where possible. Draw out the most important words from your blog post and include them in the title. Even if you don’t want an excerpt, they’re important for keywords!

Reduce Image File Sizes in tinyjpg.com: Large images will reduce site speed; a key metric google uses for indexing sites. Ensure image resolution is less than 60mp. Helpfully, Squarespace automatically creates varied resized images, however, the have a simple guide for sizing your images.

Name All Images with keywords: Without going too overboard, give each of your images a keyword-heavy name. This is valuable even if you aren’t displaying the captions/titles. Ever searched for your brand on google images? Images are an important way of telling search engines what your website is about. Don’t leave the filename box blank, or leave it with the automatically populated title – use strategic keywords related to your your content. Do this for image blocks, gallery blocks, gallery pages.
