The key to success and greater online presence is through effective SEO strategies. To better understand the power of SEO, let’s look at the definition of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Search engine optimization is the process of increasing visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) for certain keywords or phrases related to one’s company, products, or services. It involves optimizing a website for relevant search terms, researching competitor websites and analysing keyword trends. By performing these activities, you can increase your website’s organic rankings on major search engines such as Google and Bing. You may be wondering how a business can benefit from an effective SEO strategy. The answer lies in increased organic traffic; which means more people coming to your website organically through search engine results. The higher your website ranks in the SERPs, the more organic traffic you will receive as people are more likely to click on links that appear at the top of search engine results.

Boost Your Business: The Essential Role of SEO and PPC in Effective Web Marketing
Search engine optimisation (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) are two of the most important tools in a web marketer’s arsenal. SEO and PPC make up a large portion of any effective web marketing campaign, as they work together to drive traffic to your website, allowing you to reach potential customers that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to target. When implemented correctly, SEO can help increase your ranking on search engines with keywords relevant to your business. The higher you rank on these search results pages, the more visible your website will be to those searching for terms related to the products and services you offer. Furthermore, by optimising content such as page titles, meta descriptions, headings and image alt text, you can ensure that your website is as optimised as possible. Additionally, SEO techniques such as link building and blogging are essential for driving traffic to your site and boosting brand awareness online. PPC marketing, on the other hand, involves paying a fee every time someone clicks on an ad associated with your business. Ads are usually targeted based on specific criteria such as location, age or keyword searches related to what you’re offering. PPC ads can also be used […]
Is your website attracting the right audience?
When looking at your online marketing, it is important to ensure you understand who your target audience is. You may then split this audience up again in to those that may be interested in a specific service or product you have to offer. So how do you ensure that your website is attracting these sorts of visitors and that they are clicking on the appropriate links to find the information they require once on your site? Firstly you may want to install some software to see what people are doing when they land on your site. You can look at heatmaps which will show you the areas that are most interacted with on a page or recordings which will allow you to follow a person through your site seeing what they do at each stage. You can also use Analytics data to assess your bounce rates and the pages that people are leaving on. If you work with a web design / marketing agency, then you need to ensure that they know who your target audience is get their ideas on how to direct your clients to the relevant pages of your site. If your website has broken links or […]
How heat maps can give you valuable date for your web marketing
When it comes to web marketing, there are so many different avenues to explore you may not know where to start. If you already have a website, you may want to gain more traffic to the site but attracting new visitors or maybe you have plenty of visitors but they do not seem to be converting in to sales or enquiries. If you have traffic to the site but don’t seem to be getting a great conversion rate, then you may want to think about using some heat map software. Heat map software can be installed on to a page and it will register everywhere a person interacts with part of the site. This allows you to see what people are doing when they land on a page and which elements work well. For example, if you have several call to actions on a page then you can track which one works best and gets the most click throughs. You can then use this in more places or redesign other areas to work in the same way. Heatmaps are often used alongside A / B testing where you server one version of a page to some visitors and another version […]
What are core web vitals and should I be worried about them?
Core web vitals are something that you may hear more frequently being talked about with your marketing company. They are important, which the name suggests, as they are a core part of thr website user experience. You can find out how your website performs in relation to core web vitals through the free platform, search console. The core web vitals are split in to three sections, LCP, FID and CLS. We will break these down to look at what they mean. LCP means largest contentful paint and is based on how long it takes for the largest content element to become visible on the page to the users. This may be an image, a video or a block of text. The longer this takes the worse the score. This is to try and improve user experience and cut down on loading times. Next is FID which stands for first input delay. This is the time from when a user first interacts with your page (when they clicked a link or on a button, and so on) to the time when the browser responds to that interaction. Again the longer this takes, to worse the score. And finally CLS, which stands […]
