Managed SEO & Digital Marketing Services

Did you know that 75% of all clicks on search engine queries go to organic results? Organic SEO drives traffic and boosts rankings, and content is what drives SEO.

Getting your website to rank in Google is not about peppering your pages with one or two keywords anymore. Google’s algorithms focus on quality content that engages, builds trust and establishes authority within your industry.

But, here’s the thing, when it comes to search engine optimization, it’s not as simple as pressing a button and making it happen. Achieving good SEO results requires cutting-edge expertise in order to it properly.

Creating campaigns and working on SEO is not quick and easy.

So many people think there is a “secret recipe for SEO” or “special do it for you SEO tool” that will help them rank in number one positions on search results pages. It just doesn’t work like that. If it were that easy wouldn’t everyone be ranking on page one in position one?

Sure there are tools and services you can add to your site that assist you with doing some of the heavy lifting, like Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, or our current favorite, SEOPress, but they are not a “magic bullet” that is going to send your website soaring to the top of page one in Google, Bing or Yahoo.

SEO work is hard. SEO work is time intensive. And, SEO work is laborious. And, it can take some time to see positive results from all that work. There are so many things that go into SEO work these days — citations, backlinks, keyword research, SEO optimized copywriting, creating custom meta titles and descriptions, on-site work, off-site work, videos, social media marketing, and the list goes on. It’s not just about throwing up a bunch of “keywords” on your page and seeing what sticks anymore. The competition is too fierce with billions of websites being indexed online.

Even our clients with the lowest budgets are requiring, at minimum, 30 hours a month worth of work — just on keyword campaigns alone! That doesn’t even include things such as citations and directory listings for local SEO, social media posting, content creation, blog writing services, and all of the other things that go into proper SEO efforts.

SEO is also a long-term game. If a client isn’t willing to give it a good six months to a year to manifest results, it’s not even worth their money to jump into managed SEO at all. (But, that’s not to say that you shouldn’t be following good SEO practices when creating your own website and blog content – you definitely should be doing that all the time!)

We’re talking about full-scale professionally managed SEO work.

When we work with an SEO client, we invest a significant amount of time, resources, and expertise into each of them. But that also means that there’s only so many people we can work with at any given time. So their commitment to stay in for the long haul must be there, coming out of the gate.

Can’t you just do your own SEO work?

I’m sure you have asked yourself, can’t I just do my own SEO work? My answer to that is I am confident you can. But, should you is the more important question? Do you have the time to learn it all? Is it a good use of your time? Check out the our article about this that goes over the pros and cons of doing your own SEO work.

Whether you decide to DIY it or hire a professional, I recommend grabbing a cup of coffee and watching the very informative video above by my favorite SEO guru, Brian Dean. It really helps to have a full grasp of what is involved in the process — and he only scratches the surface still.
