SEO and Internet Marketing

The first step that Insite Advice takes in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is Keyword Analysis and Research.  This makes sense to be the first step because all of the following SEO efforts are based on the value, importance, and effectiveness of the initial keywords.  In a sense, the Initial Keyword Analysis is the foundation of SEO.  Keyword Research allows Insite Advice and the client see which keywords the online community is actually searching for to find your products or services within your market segment.  This is not a guessing game where just the hope of getting it right is good enough; the results are backed up with actual search volumes to determine the most relevant search engine keywords.

Keyword Optimization is the second step that Insite Advice takes in the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) process.  The process of Keyword Optimization can either be integrated into an existing site of the client or can be the building blocks of the content of a brand new site.  The phrase that "content is king" is highly touted within the web design community.  This phrase is an allusion to the content included within the website being a huge part of the overall effectiveness of a website.  This is even more important when looked at with a SEO perspective.

The content of the site, and the way it is structured, is extremely important for the success of their SEO campaign.  Factors such as navigation and flow, menu structure, website copy, and headings all have profound effects on SEO campaigns.  The search engines indexers (robots, crawlers) search through a site to determine what is important to the end user of the search engine.  If the site is not configured correctly, you have little-to-no chance of the search engines correctly determining what your site is about thus negating all of the effort that has been put into the site. When orchestrated professionally, Keyword Optimization can effortlessly coordinate the client's thoughts and efforts with the discerning " eyes" of the search engines.

Link Building is the final step in a successful Search Engine Optimization (SEO) campaign.  Building links is where most of the work in SEO is concentrated.  There are no shortcuts in best practice Link Building.  It takes a great deal of hard, dedicated work to produce even one, relevant link.  These links, however, when found and correctly implemented can be worth their weight in gold.  There are many websites out there that are that offer up thousands of links for a fixed price; they provide exactly what they advertise, but in SEO, its the quality that is exponentially more important than the quantity.  A focus on high-value, relevant links should be applied in order to take full advantage of the power of SEO.

Just like any competition within any market segment, the environment around is always changing.  The power of SEO cannot be seen overnight.  It takes time to correctly coordinate a SEO campaign that satisfies the client and is effective.  This is why Link Building is best when executed over time with continual and professional management from a company of experts you can trust.  Insite Advice has many years of experience managing campaigns and implementing client-specific goals on-time and within the budget.

Organic search or natural search results are the basic building block of every search engine.  Organic refers to the inherent nature of the search engine to display the results.  There are no paid entries or localized results. These organic results are sorted on the basis of each search engine's specific algorithms, and the goal of every SEO campaign should be focused to reach the top the organic results.  These organic search results are the hardest to champion and get your website to the top of the page. Studies have shown that users of search engines prefer to click on non-advertised results rather than paid (PPC) search results.

Unlike the paid search results (PPC), in which you pay to get to the top of search engines and local search results, which is based on a physical location; organic search results are purely based on the knowledge of the known factors of the specific search engine's ranking algorithms. The proper application of that knowledge is integral the success of the SEO campaign.  Your campaign may not take you to the number one spot for every keyword, but it will improve the overall visibily of your company on the web. If the campaign is not implemented  to the liking of the search engines, the whole Search Engine Optimization effort will be lost.

Paid Search or Pay per Click (PPC) advertising is a relatively cheap, yet effective, form of advertising products and businesses in Search Engine Results Pages (SERP).  Essentially your ad is placed within the results of a search and you only pay if your ad is clicked by the searcher.  The ads that are displayed on the SERPs are simple, yet need to be optimized to see the most traffic to the client's site and to reduce the costs of each click.  A PPC campaign should be used in conjunction with other services such as Search Engine Optimization, Internet Marketing, and Local listings.  When used together, these separate campaigns provide synergy thus multiplying the effectiveness of the entire campaign past the effectiveness of each separate component.

Local Search is a part of a search engine's results that is becoming more prevalent within the structure of the Search Engine Results Pages (SERP).  The local "listings" are tied into a mapping service to provide location information along with the standard information you would expect in SERPs. More-and-more these days local listings are topping the SERPs, jumping the customary results that you are used to seeing in Google, Bing, Yahoo!, and other search engines.  This new prominence of local listings  showcases the importance of having a well maintained, informational, and optimized local listing for your business.

Both Google and Bing (who is partnered with Yahoo!) have been including local listings within their search results for a while now. This means that in order for your company to effectively compete locally, you need local listings. It is free and can position you on the front page of the search engies with optimization.
