Learn More About Our Search Engine Optimization Process
If you want to be found online, reach your ideal customers, and grow your business, then you need Search Engine Optimization. Without a plan for SEO in place, you’ll quickly be left in the dust by your more “search-savvy” competitors.
Search Engine Optimization (commonly referred to as SEO) is the process of optimizing your website and online presence in order to grow your business’s visibility on search engines like Google & Bing and in turn, increase traffic to your website.
Search engines use bots to crawl pages throughout the world wide web and compile information about those pages into an index. Algorithms then analyze all of the pages in this index and determine the order in which these pages should appear for a given search query, taking into account hundreds of “ranking factors” to make this decision. In layman’s terms, SEO is about influencing these ranking factors so that search engines rank your pages higher in the results.
