How it works at wtm?

Here’s How
The SEO Process Works

Before engaging in an SEO campaign, we spend time getting to know you, your brand, and your website. We’ll discuss what keywords are important to your business. We’ll look at website pages that we can optimize for rankings or conversions.

How can we improve your backlink profile and earn qualified referral traffic? These items will help us develop an SEO campaign that aligns with your marketing and business goals.

Industry Analysis

Effective digital marketing plans require an understanding of your competitive landscape. In this stage of the SEO process, our team evaluates what your competitors are doing in order to learn from their strengths and weaknesses. We investigate how your target audience uses search engines to find businesses like yours online. And we analyze user behavior to understand what kind of experience your customers want.

Strategy

Armed with an understanding of your goals, audience, and competition, our team creates an organic marketing strategy tailored specifically to your business, budget, and objectives. This strategy seeks to make your website a valuable resource for qualified users who are already looking for your products and services online.

Execution

Now it’s time to see the plan in action! Our SEO specialists get to work implementing a mix of proven tactics to enhance your website’s ability to be found in organic search results. We monitor website performance and search algorithm updates throughout your campaign; if we encounter new opportunities or industry developments, our agile team is capable of pivoting as needed.

Measuring Return

This is everyone’s favorite part…evaluating the return on your investment (ROI). The key performance indicators (KPIs) we use help us assess if we’re meeting campaign goals. We may examine KPIs like traffic, engagement, and conversions. Our data-driven reports answer an age-old question: “Is this stuff working?”

The truth is that if you conduct business online, you need SEO. It’s not enough to have a website and hope users will visit.

Consider this: the vast majority of searchers don’t go beyond the first page. What does that mean? If you’re not putting in the work to maintain or improve rankings, users will have a difficult time finding you online.

Is it Enough to Just Optimize For
Google?

It depends. One of the pillars of an effective SEO strategy is knowing where your target audience is going for information. This may mean Google, but you’ll want to think about diversifying your traffic sources.

Google has most of the market share in search. Whether you’re a local business or enterprise company, you’ll need to utilize onsite and offsite tactics to improve or maintain your rankings on Google.

Due to Google’s dominance, Bing usually has less competition. Don’t forget, Bing powers Yahoo too. There may be untapped opportunities for your business on this search engine. Ranking factors for Google and Bing do overlap, but there are key differences as well.

More product searches start on Amazon vs Google. Amazon is a highly-competitive but important search engine for retailers. Our team knows how to optimize your product listings to earn clicks, and more importantly, sales.
