Global-marketing Inc.'s 3 Phase SEO Process
The following three step process outlines how a SEO project is worked on.
Step 1 - Strategy Creation
-
Information Gathering:
We gather necessary details about your business and your industry and also find answers to important SEO-related questions. Has the website been penalized by Google in the past? Who are the competitors? Are there any particular preferences that a client wants us to keep in mind, such as a particular keyword? These answers help us in conducting the best SEO strategy for your website.
-
Keyword Research:
The first and most important step; we conduct an extensive Keyword Research on your website and come up with search terms that your website can and should rank for. We even include suggestions for your blog if you have one. We finalize all keywords that will be able to improve in Google search results and also bring organic traffic for your website over time. Keyword Research is an absolutely vital phase as it practically lays the foundation upon which an SEO strategy is built.
-
Website SEO Audit:
After Keyword Research, the second most important phase is the SEO audit of your website. We conduct exhaustive tests on your domain and check for more than two dozen variables to create a detailed Website Audit report for you. This report highlights the current state of your website along with our recommendations as to what is needed to bring it up in the search engine rankings. Below are some of the tests that we conduct.
