Search Engine Optimisation
Runcorn (Organic Traffic & NOT Pay Per Click)
◈ Organic Traffic refers to the visitors you can get onto your website without having to pay per click.
◈ The truth is PPC and SEO go hand in hand. PPC is instantaneous and can be switched on and off, it’s great for getting leads quickly for your business. Organic SEO allows you to grow a business by reaching more customers than PPC.
◈ If you think of how you attract people to your business, imagine a funnel. Most people (somewhere as high as between 85% and 95%) of people are not yet ready to buy. These people don’t know you exist.
◈ Attracting these people into your brand then allows them to be ushered around your website to your services or product pages to enact a sale.
◈ Organic SEO allows you to rank for hundreds or even thousands of search terms (known as keywords). If you tried to do this using Google Ads you will quickly burn through a large amount of money.
◈ As I’ve already said, PPC is good for clicks to your website. Not everybody will convert but it’s a great way to reach people at the point of them being ready to buy.
◈ The problem is most people still won’t buy!
◈ Sometimes people buy after their first initial search but most of the time people want to further research the price or look at what people have to say about your company elsewhere on the internet.
◈ This is where SEO comes in.
◈ SEO can attract these people and win their trust in many ways that PPC just can’t. It also allows you to rank high in Google for a LOT of keyword searches and if you were to do this with PPC then you would quickly burn a big hole in your pocket.
SEO Runcorn
With A Global Reach
◈ My team and I have been working with clients worldwide for over 10 years of all sizes.
◈ Honestly, SEO to me is a bit of a game – one I’ve got really good at over the years.
◈ That’s not to say I don’t take it 100% seriously – I do – but it’s like a puzzle that I have to solve and I love problem solving.
◈ It doesn’t matter where in the world you are or how big your company is.
◈ In fact, the bigger the better!
◈ I love working with eCommerce stores and nationally focused websites but I can just as easily make SEO work for your local Runcorn business too.
SEO Marketing
Runcorn
◈ Your Runcorn based business may be trying to attract local customers, you may have a national focus or perhaps you are an eCommerce store. It doesn’t matter to me, I’ll still smash it for you.
◈ Honestly, give me a go and compare my results to those of the big pricey agencies. Speak to my existing clients, look at my current results or let’s have a chat about your concerns.
◈ Most of my clients I now class as friends because they’ve stuck with me for so long and we’ve got to know each other very well. I’m a geek, somewhat an introvert, to say the least, but I do like a laugh as much as anybody, work hard play hard as they say!
FAQs
Many people think of Google when they think of SEO (which stands for Search Engine Optimisation, sometimes you will see the American spelling of Optimisation as Optimization with ‘z’). Google is a ‘search engine’ which allows for people to search for the answers to questions, services, products and other things of interest. Of course, Google is not the only search engine. You can think of anything that has the ability for you to search which is backed up by an algorithm to show you a set of results as a search engine.
YouTube is a search engine, Amazon is a search engine too but most people think of Google when they think of a search engine.
SEO allows people to find you in a search engine when they are looking for something but more importantly it allows you to appear higher in the search results than your competitors.
There are lots of ways that you can optimise for search and it really depends upon the type of business you have and who your target market is, that’s why at Graham SEO we use different tactics depending upon your goals.
Google wants to give it’s users the best answer for the queries it is given. If you need an emergency plumber, for example, you are most likely to click the local results or even Paid Ads at the top of Google simply because of the urgency of your search.
However, in most cases 85% of people who use Google are not ready to buy yet – they are merely browsing.
Google is smart enough to know the difference between the types of searcher intent and will show you a website that matches this.
It doesn’t always get it right though but it’s still the best search engine in the world and our best resource for general search enquiries. Most people still use it over and above others such as Bing, Yahoo etc so this is where most SEO providers will focus their efforts.
Google uses a “search bot” which is software that crawls your website to try and understand the purpose of the website and the page or blog post it is crawling, you may hear this called a ‘spider’.
Google caches the websites it crawls and stores it on their servers ready to be presented to you for when you perform a search.
No, that’s why Graham SEO offer different types of SEO services. You may be a local business trying to target a local audience or a nationally focused business with a wider spread of target customer.
The age and history of your domain name counts too, this can go in your favour or against you when you are doing SEO.
We think of clients as either in phase 1,2 or 3. Phase 1 is a brand new start up business with no history or presence on the internet.
Phase 2 is a client that has been around for a while but does not have a huge amount of visibility on the internet but does have a strong brand in the offline world and get’s searched for by it’s brand name online.
Phase 3 means you are already performing well in search and have a lot of opportunities known as low hanging fruity to capitalise upon when you start doing SEO.
We take a bespoke, individual approach to your website and tailor the strategy according to these basic factors.
We look at your competitors too, just to see if they’re doing anything that you can be inspired by but then do it even better.
Our final phase is to grow your business using content marketing and the creation of further content assets. We have a team of writers and content creators here at Graham SEO or we can work directly with your writers in house.
We measure our performance using Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and here at Graham SEO our top KPI’s are:
Leads for your business
Traffic growth to your website
Rankings in search engines
In that order.
Yes you should see a Return On Investment for your SEO spend but it depends on the history of your domain and where your target market is but our results are proof that we can do what we say we can.
Graham SEO is lead by a very experienced SEO Consultant, Graham McCormack.
Graham is the project lead on every single project we undertake.
We are a small close knit team of writers, content creators, link builders, technical SEO’s and client management personnel.
Yes, you have a lot of choice but only the results matter and we’ve been getting results for over 10 years for our clients. The vast majority of our clients now come from word of mouth recommendations and it is very rare that clients cancel with us.
If you are still unsure who you should work with then put us to the test. If you have an existing SEO provider we’ll be more than happy to give you an appraisal of their work and show you exactly where your business is up to (using real provable data) and where you COULD be if you work with Graham and the team.
We don’t do them in house because we’re a specialist SEO team but we do work with many web designers and can certainly help you get a site done. The main difference is that we’ll work shoulder to shoulder with them to ensure that you hit the ground running with SEO once it is complete.
We can also help with website management too, in fact we can help with anything digital – we can be your one stop digital shop, just ask any of our existing clients and you may be surprised at the lengths that we’ve gone to help them with their technology needs.
Good SEO is not cookie cutter. You can follow a set of instructions and still not get results, especially if you are up against a seasoned SEO professional.
Most serious businesses these days invest in SEO as a part of their digital marketing and so the playing field is not level.
Yes, you could certainly follow a set of rules and get some results but this would be the equivalent of installing a boiler with a DIY book and expecting to be able to install boilers for everybody else.
If you read our other FAQ’s you will have seen that we take your business on and employ a bespoke strategy for your website based upon over 10 years experience of what works and what doesn’t and no two websites will ever be the same.
Our SEO services start at £350 per month but each price is different dependant upon where your website is up to in terms of your current level of SEO and how big your target market is.
Our campaigns are bespoke and our aim is to give you a Return On Investment so we can discuss your budget with you and set a fair figure which is affordable and designed to ensure you get your money back with profit on top.
We are not expensive, our goal is to make you money but if you buy cheap you get cheap and may end up getting a Google penalty. We’ve heard it all over the years, and the section below this is full of some of those sayings with our advisory answers.
Our campaigns are bespoke to you. SEO packages don’t work.
Don’t be fooled by their simplicity you could be doing the wrong thing at the wrong time and wind up in a tricky situation very difficult to recover from with Google.
