Getting on top (and staying on top!) of the search engine results page requires regular evaluation and ongoing optimization. Your Google ratings won’t improve overnight. It’s important that a solid foundation is made for your keywords and website optimization to have long-term success.

The initial stages of SEO for a marketing campaign focus on:

Campaign Setup
Keyword Research
Website Audit
Existing Keyword Optimization
Website Optimization
Custom Content Creation
Business Profile Development
Analytics Setup for Reporting

Once these foundations have been laid (typically within the first month), the next few months should focus on spreading the word about your brand or business. Your ranking should visibly improve week by week. A few months into the campaign (allowing time for analysis of keyword progress) it’s time to start monitoring the performance of secondary keywords to better track your overall reach. The goal is to have you ranking on the first page of Google’s SERP within six months of your SEO campaign.

The secondary stage of SEO for your marketing campaign will focus on:

Link Portfolio Development
Custom Content Creation
Ongoing Website Optimization
Campaign Reporting

Pairing SEO optimization with content creation and link building creates a marketing powerhouse. Continued development of links, custom content, keyword analysis, and site optimization will see you remaining on top of the search engine results.

Link Portfolio Development includes extending your reach and trust via local business citations, extending the breadth of backlinks to your site, website bookmarking, and listings in classified business directories.

Backlinks from business listings and authoritative domains improves your Trust ranking with Google. MercDigital will also connect your linkable assets to sites with authority within our SEO Network. Content pages will be linked within category and niche sub-categories on relevant network sites.

A content-driven approach to SEO combines several tactics in one. It’s hard to produce quality content! But when you create strong and relevant content, you are creating long-term assets for your business. Great content is also the best way to drive high-authority backlinks to your website.

Custom content creation for your website includes article publication, off-site content marketing, encouraging article engagement, blog publication and guest posts, and creating original video, image, and infographic content.

Once the foundations are in place, it’s time to install and implement Google’s Search Console tools. We’ll ensure your site performs with website optimization that includes creating and implementing a robots.txt file, XML Sitemap, Schema Tags, and Canonical Tags. We’ll improve website performance through Site Speed Optimization, Menu edits, and Google Maps integration.

Our company hadn’t kept up with Facebook and social media. We had information to put online but no time or experience with how to market ourselves in that format. Getting blog posts written and help setting up our social media presence was exactly what we needed to reach audiences we were missing out on.
