What is Search Engine Optimisation?
I have a business in Spain with a website, do I need
SEO?
Those are just a couple of the common questions many businesses
still ask.
Quite simply if you have a website then you NEED Search
Engine Optimisation (SEO).
SEO is the most common name for one area of Internet Marketing.
It is the art of moving websites to the top pages of search
engines like Google for their main business activity.
We sit down with our clients and establish the main business
focus so that we can research the most appropriate keywords
that people would use to find websites that match their searches.
We specialise in one of the most competitive online markets
in the world, Spanish real estate and have numerous websites
on the front page for their main business activity.
Why do I need to pay a company for SEO when I can do
it myself?
Like anything, with the right dedication, time and skills anyone
can learn to do another job themselves but if you are busy running
your business how much time can you really dedicate to teaching
yourself all of the complexities associated with Search Engine
Optimisation?
SEO is very much about constant research, an understanding
of the Internet, an understanding of marketing principles, an
understanding of searchers current and changing habits on the
Internet and of course knowledge of website coding to ensure
a website is Search Engine friendly.
Once you have learnt all of this be prepared for it all to
change.
Google is the most used search engine and their search results
and based upon a number of complex algorithms (mathematical
equations). These algorithms take in to account many many factors
such as number of links to a website, the age and relevancy
of sites that link to you, the "trust" of a site that
links to you, the wording on a page, the navigation of a site,
the number of times a keyword is mentioned on a page etc. etc.
Just when you think you have it all worked out Google change
their algorithm. This is done for a number of reasons such as
SPAM abuse, advances in technology on the Internet, changing
habits of searchers etc.
If you needed complex representation a in court of
law would you try an learn how to do it yourself?
Most people would answer NO so when it comes to SEO use professionals
that are experts in their field like Artemis Optimisation.
