SEO on your Established Business Website

SEO is basically polishing the content that you have to make it as visible to the search engines as possible and also it’s about making signposts or links to that content. The content needs to be unique, relevant, search engine friendly and comprehensive to stand a chance to rank alongside ‘class-leading sites’ The basic rules about SEO haven’t changed much since 1997 and that is the content on your site and the links from other sites or ‘back links’ are critical to your site ranking well.

Now that you have a ‘mature’ website that has increased its visitor numbers over a period of years and ranks well you will find that a good route forward would be to regularly add content to that website then polish that content then add or acquire links to that new content. This process will need to be repeat over months and years to ensure your site grows and becomes all-informing giving potential visitors everything they possible would want and more. You will also need to add other services that you may have started offering to your customers.

These things are obviously time-consuming and difficult (otherwise everyone would be number 1) but normally when we are beginning an SEO project on a ‘mature site’ and when we compare the website to their more highly ranking competitors with our own eyes and our SEO tools we normally discover that if the site is to improve its rankings it normally comes down to creating fresh content and then links (which is normal for a well optimised site)

Naturally a website should grow (with the business) and have new content added to it, a word press blog is a great way for a business owner to communicate online with their clients quickly and easily giving them the latest information and showing them what work they have completed recently, There may be a cause to re-evaluate the site’s framework to attempt to improve the website’s conversion rate. It’s very possible that by simply moving some elements around and by putting your buy now buttons and contact details in a prominent position you may positively affect your conversion ratio (website visitor to website booking/client).

Search Engine Myths

Things to avoid when promoting your site

Filling meta keywords with high-value words will result in more traffic

it simply will not, Google hardly registers meta keywords and if you include words that are not included in the content you will receive bad karma from Google et al.

Getting 1000s links to my site will make me top of Google

Google is very sophisticated and can smell a link farm a mile off, not all links are created equal and you shouldn’t participate in purchasing links or using link farms

Submitting to lots of search engines will improve my ranking

There are lots of auto-submit programs/software that will submit your site to the thousands of search engines but there are three main search engines: Google, Yahoo and Bing (previously MSN) and as long as your site is listed on a page that is already listed in the search engines you don’t even need to manually submit to them as they will find you the next time their ‘bots’ visit the page on which you are listed.

We guarantee number 1 position

We normally hear this promise via our clients who have been contacted via phone or email from a ‘professional SEO company’. No company has a special relationship with Google, Yahoo or Bing and no company can promise number 1 listing within the organic / natural results pages.

Paid Listing in the PPC or AdWords section of the results pages can be achieved and is a recognised strategy that should be adopted with a SEO strategy but should not be the only strategy as its temporary and expensive to get high rankings in the paid results section.

Make small changes every day to your website
Standard static business websites are visited every 10-20 days by the search engines to look for changes, although extra valuable content will be welcomed by the search engines any insignificant changes that you make daily will not result in any benefit to your website or your rankings and indeed may harm your ranking if you over ‘tweak’ your important SEO pointers like the page title and headings too much.
