Frequently Asked Questions

What is SEO?

SEO stands for search engine optimization. It is the practice of optimizing a website to appear higher in search results, where your business will appear, getting you organic traffic without having to pay for Google ads. With a well optimized website, more people will see your site in Google and other search engines. SEO includes both on-page, things like content, page speed, and site structure, and other tasks related to website development. It also includes off-page, or optimizing sites that link to yours, and reaching out to other site owners for new links from relevant pages on their site.

How does Google decide what sites to rank highest?

Google and other popular search engines have many factors in their algorithm, and most of it is a protected secret Google will never let out, and SEO companies can only discover through experience. The most important known ways to improve your site include having good, relevant content optimized for your important search phrases and keywords related to them, fast loading pages, having an easy to use and organized design, and having links to your site from respected sites that are related to yours.

How long does it take to rank in Google?

It takes some time for Google to crawl your site after making any changes to improve your SEO. No internet marketing firm can give a definite answer. For lower volume keywords, which local searches often are, it can sometimes take weeks for Google to reflect the changes in the search engine results pages. For higher volume searches, the results might changes in minutes, hours, or days. Google is hard to predict, but will always see changes made eventually.

What factors are important for Local SEO?

When working with SEO for a local business website, there are some additional signals to consider over other kinds of websites. It's important to have your address and phone number listed on your website, as well as Facebook, Yelp, Google Maps, and other citation profiles. All of this information must match. Positive reviews on these profiles help, as well as backlinks from other local websites.
