Search Engine Optimisation

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of enhancing a website and the online presence of a website. The aim is to improve the website or web page’s position in unpaid search results, along with the user experience. The benefits of a higher position in search results is that users are more likely to visit your web page. Numerous bodies of research detail that the top listings in search results receive the most attention. The benefits of a great user experience is that satisfied users may remain on a website for longer and have an increased likelihood of enquiring, purchasing or signing up.

SEO differentiates from Google Ads. SEO focuses on organic leads from your unpaid positions in search results. Google Ads focuses on pay per clicks to drive users towards your website or goal. SEO is more of a long term strategy. Depending on the scale of the project, SEO could take multiple months before large improvements or enquiries appear. Smaller local businesses can benefit from SEO quicker in some cases, as their local listing could improve quickly. Larger websites competing for national or international keywords can take longer, sometimes a few months up to 6 months before greater improvements and enquiries can appear. A perk of SEO is that the beneficial work can continue to improve rankings and provide a great user experience, even if that specific SEO task has ended. Google Ads on the other hand can generate leads quickly though can have a high upkeep cost and if the Google Ads campaign is paused, then no leads will be generated.
