Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization or SEO for short, is the practice of optimizing your website and other online sources to create an overall higher website ranking in a web search. We focus on three types of SEO to yield the most success for your website in search results:


  • On-page: Refers to improving your sites “on-page,” SEO. This works by first identifying the best keywords to explain your website/industry/business. Then these keywords are placed strategically on your website, within your high-quality content, and in your meta tags and page descriptions.


  • Off-site: Off-Site SEO or "linking,"works by strengthening your websites relationships with another reputable website. Your websites credibility and reputability increase with each “reputable site” it is connected to. We will develop strategies for your website to become a reputable, reliable and trusted source by incorporating off-site SEO.


  • Technical SEO: Refers to improving your websites “back-end” structure and foundation. Back-end SEO is reserved for the “web crawlers” who are the ones that sift through your  websites information to see where you should be placed in a search inquiry result. You want a website that web crawlers can understand and categorize easily.


We ensure all of these strategies are utilized to create a solid SEO foundation that we can continue to build upon.
