SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION - SEO

What is SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION?

The importance for SEO is growing worldwide due to the opportunity it presents today on the world wide web, especially with ever increasing cost of PPC.
Google gets around a 3 Billion (approximate) searches per month, and everybody in business is looking to grab a small pie out of this. SEO or search engine optimization is simply to rank or show your website details on google whenever someone searches for a keyword relevant to your industry. Every search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc) has its own algorithm to rank any particular website for a specific keyword. Nobody except the search engine companies know how this system works, but based on various trial and error method, companies like us and many other have found certain key variable which search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc) considers to rank your website for a particular keyword.

Our Process:
We have a unique process for SEO, which has produced great results for our clients. This process has been developed after more than 2+ years of continuous testing and analysis across various search engine. The process is customized to meet the demand of each client but the over lying strategy remains the same. Our basic process as far as the client is concerned is as follows:

Keyword Research:
SEO or SEM strategy is the game of keywords. The more analysis one does in this stage, the more it helps in proper planning and keyword targeting. We use data from Google and other search engine to create a large list of keywords which are relevant to the business or customers that our clients want to target. With the help of these tools we are able to generate more than 3000+ keywords for even small businesses, which helps us in creating a strong base for future strategy and execution.

Competition Analysis:
Highly important for those businesses which are beginning to explore the opportunities of online marketing. We use specialized tools to analyze competition website, keyword, traffic, demographic, etc. This helps us in understanding the clients business and the scope available in that specific industry. Using this data several other marketing avenues can be explored, however in the SEO process it helps to capture more keywords which may be relevant to the business of our clients.

Keyword Targeting:
After a large list of keywords have been analyzed, they are scrutinized to match certain criteria before we begin our SEO work. The main factors which we consider are,Keyword Search Numbers and SEO Competition which helps in shortlisting those keywords which can be targeted in short term, as well as in long term. This process is detailed as it involves lots of research in order to avoid any mishap at a later stage. Careful planning and cross checking is done to make sure that maximum result is derived by clients.

Monitoring & Improvement:
We monitor your result on monthly basis and provide our clients with reports which measures the rank improvement, increase in traffic, etc. We work with our client to understand the course of action, if any change is required. We our-self monitor the results to ensure we are on the right track and make appropriate changes so that clients do not need to worry about their SEO. We strongly believe in continuous learning and improvement and provide valuable and noteworthy information which can be used by our clients as well as others.

Pay Per Click Marketing

Pay Per Click marketing is based on a simple concept where ads are shown based on the keywords entered by the surfer into the search engine. This approach offers targeted audience if relevant keywords are considered.
PPC can be VERY profitable method to increase sales and leads and is highly recommended in today's scenario where online marketing offers great opportunity for even small businesses.


What is Pay Per Click Marketing?

Pay Per Click Marketing has 2 aspects. One is based on search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc) where our ads are displayed (usually on the right side) based on the keyword entered by the user. It also involves ads shown on the network sites or partner sites which use google adsense, an example of this will be ads seen on gmail.com, myspace.com, orkut.com, etc. A business owner pays for clicks received on the ad and not on the impression, which makes this model highly targeted and result oriented.

Our Achievements:
We have managed campaigns whose ad spend ranges from $3,000 per month to $100 per month. Each campaign was designed for a specific purpose and had different goals. We have been able to achieve a highly low CPC (Cost Per Click) for most of our clients along with high CTR (Click Through Rate) of almost 7.28%. Managing PPC campaigns involves complexity in terms of Quality Score, Ad relevance, Keyword research, Legal Restriction, Tracking, etc.

Keyword Research + Competition Analysis:
SEM (Search Engine Marketing) is completely based on keywords, hence the first priority is based on this step. A thorough understand of all the possible keywords a user may enter will help in driving the maximum traffic and most of it at a low cost. For this purpose special tools are used to uproot these keywords from various search engine data, including Google External Tool (which is free). Apart from that we also try to find those keywords which are being used by the competition, this helps in a major way as it may also lead to further keyword research.

Keyword Targeting:
Once the keywords research process is completed the list of keywords is sorted out based on relevancy, keyword search traffic and cost factor (clients budget). The more relevant a keyword, along with higher searches is given more importance, which are then grouped together with related keywords. Selecting the right keyword can save a lot of time and money in the long term hence this step requires proper care.

Landing Page Optimization:
Landing page is the page where the user will land after clicking on the ad. Depending on the type of industry and the current design of the clients this step may or may not be considered, although it is important. If we feel that there are chances of poor conversion based on the design of the landing page, we work with the client with the help of our specialized designer to create optimum landing page which offers a better chance of conversion. If slight modifications are required, then those are communicated to the client. Page content is also considered to make it relevant to what users are searching for, this again ensures low cost and better conversion.

Monitoring + Modification:
Once the campaign is running we continuously monitor the account to ensure that we are paying the least cost, our ads are relevant to what users are searching for, there is no drop in quality score, etc. This ensures maximum productivity from your ad at all time. Apart from that we look for opportunities through which we can explore other networks, target specific sites for our advertisement (these are mainly infomercial sites). Keywords which are under-performing are removed and negative keywords are added to ensure that only relevant exposure is maintained.

Reporting:
Weekly reports are sent to the clients which measures the result of the campaign being run on various search engine, including the result for campaign which are targeting certain specific sites. The report is detailed enough to explain the whole PPC campaign within few pages and offers information which can be useful to other areas of Online Marketing. We make sure the clients are getting the desired result and make changes accordingly.
