How search engine optimization works
Audit
A technical audit finds what is stopping search engines from crawling and understanding the site.
Intent
Keywords are grouped by what the searcher wants, and each group is matched to one page.
Content
Pages are written or rewritten to answer those searches better than competing pages.
Authority
Links and mentions are earned from relevant sites, and results are reported against pipeline, not only traffic.
What you get
- Technical audit and fixes
- Intent-led content plan
- Authority building
- Reporting tied to pipeline
How long does search engine optimization take?
Technical fixes in the first month; content and authority work typically shows results in three to six months.
