A strong SEO Strategy is more important than ever before

 

Most of us have to live with limited resources. Also for SEO. Many therefore choose to throw themselves directly into the practical work, to create the desired results. In the heat of the battle, many forget to take a step back, assess the market more objectively, and work out an effective strategy -before the more operational one is launched. It has always been a good idea to work from a strong SEO strategy But today it is more important than ever before. With Google's increased focus on “user intent”, “user engagement”, machine learning, and natural language understanding, it is no longer enough just to work hard at optimizing the more general SEO factors. In this post, we need to take a closer look at what a good SEO strategy should include and why it is so important to get it worked out. 

Start with a good SEO Analysis

You may already know a little about what an SEO Analysis is, but in short, it is a 360-degree review of your website in order to identify all the factors that you should improve in order to achieve better visibility in the search engines. This can, of course, be done in more or less detail. For more than 15 years I have developed what I dare call the industry's best and most careful standard for SEO Analyzes.

We offer in Waimea 3 different solutions, all depending on the scope of your website. If you just run a simple blog or small content site, you can do it with the smallest. If you have several different page types, webshop, or several languages, you should choose one of the two slightly larger analyzes. But common to all the SEO Analyzes we do is that they very carefully describe the included areas and exactly what you need to do to improve them. We also offer to make a prioritization of the various elements. Based on a good SEO Analysis, you have an operational manual - you can, as it were, get started directly with the work, and if you get all things fixed, there is no doubt that you will stand with a much better result - generally better visibility in Google than before you started. But what an SEO Analysis only to a limited extent uncovers are the more strategic challenges in the market and how you can best challenge them. 

SEO Strategy - a roadmap for success

An SEO Strategy should not be seen as an alternative to an SEO Analysis. I would always recommend that you get good SEO services in Islamabad Analysis done before you start the specific work. Ideally, you should both have an SEO The analysis is done and a strong SEO Strategy drawn up. The SEO Analysis can to a certain extent form the basis of the SEO strategy. In addition to the SEO Analysis, an important foundation for making a good SEO strategy is a careful analysis of your (search) market - the competitors and the users. Some of the things you need to find out are: What is special about your company?

 How it is operated. What limitations and opportunities do you have?

 What are the key KPIs?

Who are your real competitors (those who rank on "your" keywords)?

What do your competitors do well - where are they strong?

Where are your competitors weak - are there gaps in the market?

In what phases does your target audience use the search engines?

What does your target audience expect to find?

What maintains, develops, and converts your target audience best?

Unfortunately, many counselors forget to set aside time for the first point. Big mistake! Because without me as a consultant knowing your company properly and understanding the opportunities and limitations you have, I cannot devise the best SEO Strategy. And the time I have to spend getting that understanding, of course, I also have to be rewarded for. Once you have it in place, we can begin to assess how you can best attack your market and develop a strong SEO strategy. 

At the strategic level, you must first and foremost have control over what role in the market you can and should play. For example, if you want to sell books it's a tough battle against mastodons like Amazon and Saxo. Going in a frontal attack on them is an almost hopeless battle, but perhaps there are niches where they stand less strong or positions you will be able to attack with greater success.

Maybe the whole communication with your online customers needs to be completely rethought. Maybe you catch them too early - or too late. Maybe they are not followed all the way to the door. Maybe you can better retain and engage your target audience. Maybe there are content tools that you have not used today that could significantly strengthen your position in relation to the competition, and maybe there are activities that can create greater natural awareness and authority. 

There are many important considerations you should make. The above are just some of them. But what they all have in common is that it takes a good deal of experience and knowledge to develop a strong SEO strategy. When the more strategic is in place, the practical tasks must then be prioritized based on that. No one has infinitely many resources, and although I think it would be nice if you could optimize all the elements, it is unrealistic for most people. To get the most out of your SEO Strategy, it is therefore important that you get an assessment of where to invest. Are the biggest challenges technical? Is that the content? Is it commitment or authority? Finally, you need to find out how practical things are solved in the best possible way? Should your own team do it all? Can they? Is it best to leave some of the tasks to others, and is there new technology that can fully or partially automate some of it?

Why has an SEO Strategy become more important?

As you probably know, over time Google has become more and more "intelligent". From being based on a rather flat-headed the mathematical algorithm, Google today is a self-learning, dynamic, user-focused and the natural language technology system. With Rank Brain, Google automatically and dynamically interprets search queries so that they can find more that matches their desires - rather than just their words. Google continuously analyzes users' responses to what they find and the way they become involved in it. And they are increasingly adopting the results to the individual user. This is a development that has been going on for some years. It all did not come suddenly, but as all these new and far more advanced technologies have been implemented, it has become even more important with strong SEO services in Lahore strategy. SEO is not as static as it once was. It is no longer about just understanding ONE algorithm and then adapting to the way it works. It is much more about understanding the user - their search user intent, and then meeting it better. And it's about seeing holes in the market and exploiting them. 

What Does It Cost To Make An SEO Strategy?

I might rather start with the opposite question - what does it NOT cost to make a good SEO Strategy?

The price for not having thought through your SEO The strategy may very well be that you are on the surface with a website that should be super well optimized, but which just does not manage to attract, retain and convert a sufficient part of your market. Maybe you lose half the potential. Maybe even more. These are customers that your competitors then snatch. 

With what does it cost then?

As I said, it takes a lot of experience to develop a good SEO Strategy, so if it is to have real value for you, then it does not make much sense to put a junior SEO expert or a marketing assistant on the task. It requires a senior SEO expert. It usually takes a few days of work on it, and the senior experience you get also costs something. So depending on the scope of your company and market, you should expect a total price of around DKK 50-100,000. But an exact price is impossible to give without first looking a little closer at your company.
