SEO is a big deal

Search engine optimization offers a lot more than just greater searchability and visibility. There are many reasons why you should be a player on this board, regardless of your industry or business size.

Think about it, your competitors are on top of their game and your target audience expects you to be visible when researching your services and products. It only makes sense to compete and display your business on the forefront of the most frequently visited website on the internet — Google.

That’s not to say that other search engines like Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yandex don’t contribute to your visibility. It just so happens that Google owns the lion’s share of the online search market. Like it or not, their power cannot be ignored.

If you haven’t made the switch to inbound marketing already, we strongly recommend that you give it a try. In fact, before making a purchase decision, most savvy consumers judge the credibility of brands from their content quality and how easily they can be found online.

Our SEO marketing packages help to supercharge your website and unlock its potential.

Still need convincing? Here are two key reasons why it’s a great idea to sign your small business up to one of our affordable SEO packages.

Online visibility begins with SEO

Did you know that 68%¹ of all online experiences begin with a search engine? If your website isn’t ranking on Google’s first page, you’re missing out on a large share of the traffic pie. To put things into perspective:

  • Only 0.78%¹ of Google searchers ever bother to click on results from the second page.
  • Position #1 on Google’s organic search results page gets an average click-through rate of 31.7%¹.
  • 53.3%¹ of all web traffic comes from organic search.

There’s undeniable proof that SEO is valuable. Implementing a competent SEO strategy can have a noticeable impact on your traffic numbers and inbound inquiries within a year.

If you own a website that happens to be a major driver of leads and sales for your business, you’ll be happy to know that even with some simple SEO best practices in place, you can see results. Just imagine what an all-inclusive SEO framework can do for you.

Search engines are hard to please

Gone are the days when you could repeat a bunch of keywords and rank #1. Thankfully, things have changed and it’s almost like search engines now have a brain of their own.

Google’s algorithm has become eerily good at picking up small nuances that indicate poor content quality, rehashed content, over-optimization, and lack of credibility. Each time their algorithm is updated, the list of websites that qualify for those important top positions gets shorter.

It’s clear that Google has taken their mantra of ‘quality first’ quite seriously. They know what’s up and they know how credible your site is. Only the best will rank.

If you’ve noticed a drop in traffic and rankings in spite of ‘doing things right’, your strategies may be out of date. To avoid this outcome and to be sure that your site isn’t affected by a future algorithm update, you need a team of SEO experts on your side.

SEO packages tailored to your budget

SEO is versatile in that it can cater to all kinds of businesses and websites from different industries. No matter what niche you’re in, we’ll build a strategy that works in your favor.

Our clients sell anything from aged care to automotive products, financial products to watches, recruiting to marketing services. At this point it feels as though we’ve worked in just about every industry, helping to bring in more e-commerce revenue, sales inquiries, advertising, and affiliate revenue.

Though there are some general best practices, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to search engine optimization. Each website has its own unique set of challenges — assessing what’s needed and implementing the changes regularly is what we do best.

Depending on your long-term goals and your budget, we can customize a package for you that will generally include a combination of the following…

Keyword research

Keyword research refers to the process used to identify the words and phrases that your target audience is using when they’re looking for your services.

By scrutinizing the list of keywords that your users are entering into Google, we can learn a lot about your industries’ landscape. Later on, this helps with:

  • Content planning and strategy
  • Link building and promotion
  • Increasing the quantity of visitors to your site
  • Improving the quality of those visitors

Keyword research helps us better understand what your users want, how they think, and what they like.

Competitor analysis

Every business has competition, especially in the world of SEO. Competent website owners consistently try to outrank each other by staying on top of their game, optimizing every aspect of their content, building authority, and fine-tuning their site until it’s perfect.

This invariably results in an impressive array of content, and ultimately, a great user experience.

When we service a website, we’re always on the lookout for who’s competing, what their strategy looks like, and at what pace they are executing on it. This helps us to benchmark their quality and points us in the right direction for developing your campaign.

Combined with keyword research, we’re able to present you with a content map that helps to structure your new site or restructure your existing site.

Local SEO

SEO isn’t limited to e-commerce sites — even businesses like retail outlets, hotels, bars, gyms, and bike shops can benefit from search engine optimization.

However, the main difference is that websites belonging to businesses that derive footfall-based revenue need something called Local SEO.

This form of SEO targets specifically those users who live in your vicinity and can potentially visit your physical location.

If you run a plumbing company in Denver, Colorado and someone Googles ‘Denver emergency plumber’, you want your business to show up, right? That’s what Local SEO can achieve.

Link building

When someone important vouches for you, it boosts your credibility. People see you in a different light, and they are more likely to trust what you have to say, or what you sell.

Something similar happens in the world of SEO — often referred to as ‘authority’.

When a page on your site is linked to from another trusted website, Google sees that as a positive sign and tends to favor your website, making it more likely to rank. These are called ‘backlinks’.

The more quality backlinks you have, the higher your chances of being seen by the right people. Link building is a marketing function used to boost the trust and authority of your website by earning these links. This is something we include in most monthly SEO packages.

Content creation and optimization

Content marketing and SEO go hand in hand. When the two are used properly in unison, you can create a result that establishes itself on Google’s first page for a long time. Use the two improperly, and the result can be the exact opposite of what was expected.

Having dealt with thousands of pages and articles over the years, it’s obvious to us that content is a heavily misunderstood channel of communication.

It seems as though many business websites post compulsively — publishing content that doesn’t educate, isn’t valuable, and doesn’t excite anyone. Needless to say, this type of content won’t rank, and even if it does, its low engagement rate will ensure this is a short-term result at best.

Leveraging your content for SEO success is a two-step process:

  1. Knowing what content to create, and
  2. Optimizing it according to Google’s guidelines so that it ranks.

The goal of content planning is to have a wealth of information on your website — usable content that people are actively looking for and are happy to spend time-consuming, leading them closer to becoming a lead, or sale for your business.

Technical site auditing, fixes and maintenance

Auditing your website’s technical SEO issues and fixing those issues is key to getting the greatest return from your SEO budget.

We run every page of your site through an extensive checklist, auditing simple issues such as broken links and images, and much more complex problems like broken code and how well search engines can crawl your site.

Unlike the industry norm of simply selling a report, our team of developers fix these issues for you either as a one-time technical SEO audit and fix service, or an ongoing technical SEO maintenance service. Ongoing maintenance is included in all of our small business SEO packages.

Reporting and monitoring

To ensure the success of your SEO campaign, it needs to be monitored consistently. Important metrics such as keyword rankings and website traffic are tracked daily, while more intensive monitoring of link building and technical SEO takes place on a weekly basis.

All of our SEO packages include regular monitoring and monthly reporting. This way you’ll always know what’s going on with your campaign, the work that is being done, and where your money is being invested.

Top reasons why you should invest in SEO

Even though this subject could fill an entire book, we’d like to briefly share some of the most important reasons why small business owners should consider investing in SEO.

SEO is inexpensive

All good things come at a price — but compared to other forms of marketing, and considering the payoff, SEO is quite inexpensive.

SEO can and should be considered as a proper business investment, not just an advertising expense that brings in a bunch of vanity metrics wrapped in a pretty report.

Executed correctly, SEO builds assets for your business that continue to drive business long in the future and makes your business more desirable to acquire.

If you want a strong return on investment and have the patience to see your campaign through, you’ll find it in a (well-executed) SEO strategy.

Builds trust and credibility

SEO strengthens your brand by giving your website helpful and well formatted content, links (and referrals) from other websites, and a seamless, hassle free experience (like super fast load speeds).

As a result, your client or customer’s experience is pretty great.

When this is combined with your amazing products and/or services, it makes for a scenario that boosts trust and credibility for your brand.

Brings in high quality leads

When someone reaches out to your brand via your website, they’ve taken that step for a reason.

They’ve seen your content, liked what they saw, understand your business to be experts on the topic, and only then decided to reach out. Leads via unpaid search results are known to be warm at the least, if not red hot.

When you compare that quality to one generated by outbound efforts or a third party, the difference is clear as day. The term ‘colder than cold’ comes to mind for many of these.

It’s quantifiable

While some businesses can have a difficult time calculating the exact ROI from their SEO efforts, it isn’t impossible. It involves an in-depth study of your campaign and a sharp eye for noticing patterns.

Improvements in SERP rankings, growth in traffic, and conversions can all be tracked and attributed to specific tasks performed within the scope of your SEO strategy.

Your SEO team at Dialed Labs is experienced in connecting the dots and understanding what works.

When you sign up your small business to one of our SEO packages, we’ll give you a simple report each month showing you the specific work that has been done, and how your website performed as a result.

It’s dynamic

While we help some businesses via some one-time services, search engine optimization is best executed consistently over a longer period of time.

To retain ranking and credibility, your website needs to be monitored, tested, and tweaked.

SEO best practices are updated frequently. Each time Google releases an algorithm update, a lot of things change.

This is an opportunity. If your competitors established themselves years ago but are asleep at the wheel today, you can take their share of the market by outranking them.

We pride ourselves on consistently staying ahead of the curve, evolving our processes as search engines, your competitors, and your customers demand.

Results in a better user experience

Getting more traffic and higher rankings on search engine results pages is only half the battle won — without a positive user experience, it’s all unlikely to last.

Without a positive user experience, bounce rates increase. This happens when people leave your website because they don’t find what they were looking for, or simply don’t like your site.

For your website to compete, your user’s experience needs to be optimized. We do this in a way that looks very similar, if not identical to the untrained eye.

So not only do you get more people visiting your site, they’re more likely to make an inquiry, purchase something, or share your site with a friend as a result.

Organic search is king

Organic search results are the holy grail of online visibility. Scoring the much coveted page #1, or better — position #1 can massively boost your traffic numbers.

Remember, half of all web traffic comes from organic search.

For each search query, there are thousands of results that qualify, but only a few are displayed on Google’s first page.

To rank and stay ranked, you need to engage a third party to provide quality organic SEO services, or to build out your own team in-house. We think of ourselves as a combination of the two.

Search engine optimization service FAQs

What can SEO do that social media can’t?

There’s a misconception that social media and SEO are comparable channels of marketing when in reality, it’s like comparing apples to oranges. The two have their own place in your overall digital marketing strategy.

Social media is targeting the right people, but usually at the wrong time. SEO is great for targeting the right people at the right time.

SEO is all about being seen in search results when someone in your audience uses a search engine — you are satisfying their demand.

Social media marketing is more about brand awareness and engaging with your audience on a more personal level. This is done through social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest and more.

If you’re wondering what makes for a better investment, we’d definitely vote for SEO. It’s worth mentioning that SEO drives 1000%¹ more traffic than organic social media.

How can I spot a bogus SEO service provider?

When you’re out on the web looking to buy the best SEO services, you’re going to come across packages that will seem too good to be true.

No one has the time to pull a background check on every SEO service provider that offers cheap packages — but there are red flags that you can spot and avoid a potential waste of money.

Some of these indicators include:

  • No mention of a site audit
  • Promising the moon (like ranking #1) at an unbelievably cheap price
  • They promise reporting, but it’s complicated and doesn’t actually show that work has been done
What should a good SEO package look like?

A quality SEO package shouldn’t ignore any of the ‘3 pillars’ of SEO;

  • content,
  • links, and
  • technical SEO.

That means the package should include:

As long as the service provider is transparent, competent, gives you the right expectations, and does a diligent job, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.
