SEO Services Overview

We get asked frequently about our SEO services, and also how SEO really works. Actually, we also get asked IF SEO works just about as often! We’ve been doing SEO for our clients since 2005, and yeah, it still really works and it can dramatically increase traffic to your website. So the next question is pretty clear:

How does SEO work?

This is a pretty common question, and the long answer is pretty long. Here’s the short version:

Search Engine Mechanics

  • Search engines find websites, and they store all the pages they can find on their servers.
  • People type keyword phrases into the search box looking for answers to their questions.
  • Search engines try to match the keyword phrase with sites that discuss that topic or keyword phrase.
  • The search engines then rank the sites based on their complex algorithms.
  • Search engines show the results to the searcher, with the best sites showing up higher in the results.

Search Engine Optimization or SEO

SEO simply is the process of doing the known things that will increase the rankings of your website in the Search Engine Results Page (SERP).

  • We research the keyword phrases that people are entering in the search box and find the best phrases
  • We make sure those keywords show up in key places on your website
  • We make sure that the page containing the keyword is easy to find on your website
  • We make sure that other sites are talking about that page (ie: are linking to that specific page)
  • We track the results to make sure that rankings improve
  • More importantly, we make sure that those improved rankings result in more traffic to your website

What Specific SEO Services Does Sebo Offer?

In general, the SEO strategies we implement for our clients fall into 2 categories: On Page SEO and Off Page SEO.

On Page SEO Services

  • In many cases, your most important phrases don’t even exist on your website.
  • Step 1: We EITHER add new pages to your site that contain that phrase OR we add that specific phrase to existing pages on your site.
  • Step 2: We make sure that the pages containing your important phrase are easy to find on your site. We will create links within your site to the pages containing your keyword phrase. For example, we want the pages we worked on in Step 1 to be easy to find. The links we create inside the site are known as an Internal Link to that page. Internal Links have to be done correctly, but they really help.

Off Page SEO Services

  • If the page containing your keyword phrase doesn’t have links from other sites, Google sees that page as being less important. Specifically, the algorithm wants to show Quality pages to users in the search results. The more links from a variety of sources produces higher rankings.
  • We actively and carefully create links from other websites that boost your Off Page SEO scores.
  • Over time, these links pointing back to your site make a huge difference in your search engine rankings.

What Expectations Should We Have?

While every situation is different, we won’t take on an SEO client unless we feel that we can improve your rankings AND improve your organic / SEO traffic coming to your website. If we can get you more traffic, and your site converts those visitors into leads, SEO directly will increase your sales and revenues as a company. Check out our SEO Case Studies for some examples of what SEO can do.
