Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Internet Marketing Services
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is critical to the effectiveness of a web site. Without effective SEO, your site will not reach your target audience. PolkPC provides a full spectrum of SEO services, including initial consulting to help analyze your marketing objectives, selection of effective SEO strategies to support your objectives, reviewing the effectiveness of your existing web site, and implementing affordable solutions to attract more users / customers.
PolkPC SEO services include the following activities:
1. First, effective keyword search phrases appropriate to your business must be identified. These are the phrases that your customers will use to search for the products or services that your business provides. Selection of effective keyword phrases is the core foundation of an effective search engine optimization strategy.
2. Second, your web site code should be optimized to include proper density and location of target keyword phrases within your web site, including title tags, meta tags, alt tags, headings and body text on all of your core web pages. Paid advertising, including pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, should be evaluated to complement your standard optimization process.
3. Third, the internal links linking one page to another within your web site should be optimized to include the proper keyword phrases within the link text. This includes very careful design of your header, footer and navigation elements on your primary web page template.
4. Fourth, your web site should be submitted to all major search engines and directories, including industry-specific directories as well as any local directories associated with local (geographic) aspects of your business.
5. Fifth, an external linking campaign should be initiated to develop links from other sites (relevant to your business) to your site. The more relevant links to your web site, the better your keywords will perform with the major search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo and AOL.
6. Finally, s statistical package should be implemented to provide reports from your web logs, which will allow you to monitor traffic to your site, and continually refine your site design to achieve optimal SEO.
