Search engine optimisation can be split into 2 main areas;

‘On-Page SEO’ (changes to the subject website and its pages) and; ‘Off-Page SEO’ (getting links from external websites).

There are considerable differences between the functions of these two areas and we offer a complete SEO packge.

The major search engines, such as Google, all have their own algorithms which they use to rank web pages in relation to the variety of search phrase that someone might type and the sites

relevance to that query. Search engine optimisation is about understanding (and keeping up to date with) how the search engines are ranking websites and applying this knowledge to get the most from your site.

ALGORITHM UPDATES & SEO BEST PRACTICE

If you are an avid reader of industry press or are already optimising your website you will know how important it is to keep up to date with the latest algorithm updates from Google.

The world of SEO is evolving rapidly and ensuring you are adhering to industry best practice is essential if you want to get ahead online. We like Google’s aim of ‘making the web a better place’ and work hard to ensure our clients are always up to speed on the changes Google makes that might affect them. Rest assured - with an experienced partner like Search Laboratory you can keep ahead of SEO best practice.

ON-PAGE SEO

The structure of your website plays a significant role in how well you rank in the natural search engine results. On-page SEO looks to optimise the coding and structure of your website for the search engines that rank it.

As a one off service or as part of your longer on-going link building campaigns, we can provide a bespoke technical report that looks at how your site is configured in granular detail. It will include practical recommendations as to how you can improve your site and its structure. Your technical team can then implement these changes prior to the start of any link building campaigns to ensure you get optimum results from your on-going SEO.

On-Page SEO involves changing various factors and aspects of your site to optimise it for the search engines. These factors include (but are not limited to):

Keyword research and selection to determine most suitable target keywords based on criteria including strength of product offering, current website conversion rate (if applicable) search volumes and level of competition

Competitor analysis to understand how competitors are achieving page 1 rankings for the agreed keywords (on-site analysis, analysis of competitor backlink profiles, analysis of content used to generate links)

Off-Page strategy creation

Technical recommendations for site structure and coding changes (including internal linking structure, navigation, content, titles and tagging)

Recommendations for local search optimisation (if relevant) Recommendations for multilingual site structure (if relevant)

OFF-PAGE SEO AND CUSTOMER-CENTRIC LINK BUILDING

Off-Page SEO looks to increase your position in the search engine results by increasing the

‘authority’ of your website in the eyes of the search engines. This is done by building highly relevant links back to your website from high quality and authoritative third party sites. Often the most valuable links are the most difficult to obtain such as links from University, major news or governmental sites.

Recently we have helped clients generate content and PR that has enabled us to obtain links from:

Many companies issue press releases but do not syndicate them correctly online. Search Laboratory can create or modify existing press releases in order to optimise them for SEO purposes. When news sites pick up the press release it will contain links back to your site. Truly newsworthy PR, correctly distributed online is hugely powerful. SEO campaigns closely aligned with a business’s wider PR strategy are the most impactful because major news sites are highly authoritative in the eyes of a search engine.
