Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
What is SEO and Why is it so Important?
SEO is basically how Google and other search engines decide if a website should pop up when a consumer searches for something. If you think about it, Google must have a way of choosing who to show first and reasons behind that decision. Search engines want "us" the consumers to be happy with the results we're being shown. We expect that the top companies that show up for a search are the best. Those are the people we want to call first.
Keyword Research plays an important role with SEO. Knowing what keywords to use and where to put them can make all the difference. Working with us you can be sure you're going to be found for the keywords for your niche or industry. If you'd like more information on keywords be sure to check out our recent blog post HERE.

What is a Backlink and Why do I Need Them?
The best way to understand backlinks is to think of them like a vote. When one website gives another website a link, they're voting for them, saying this site can be trusted. Seems simple enough. Where it gets tricky is how to find high authority, well trusted, local, relevant links that make sense. Not all links are created equal. Some links could cause a lot more harm than good. Be sure to do a lot of research or work with a trusted SEO agency (like us) to get backlinks that will help your website be seen and more trustworthy in the eyes of search engines.

FAQ
How long do I need SEO services?
It depends on how competitive your industry is and how many backlinks, content and citations we need to produce. You want everything to appear natural and not like you're trying too hard. So backlinks for example are dripped out over a period of time. Sometimes 6 months is a good amount of time to be where you want in the organic search results but it can take up to a year or more.
