What does organic SEO mean?

Organic SEO

Organic SEO just means that you DO NOT pay Google to get into the Google directory.
Google Adwords is paid Search Engine Marketing  [SEM].
If you are interested in Google Adwords, we also do this.  Please send an enquiry below.

What is SEO

Think of your website as a department store.  

For example;

How the store is presented is a major deciding factor of whether you as a customer will enter, purchase and return.
Is the store messy, is it hard to find what you’re looking for?
Does it have friendly, available attentive staff, regular opening hours?
Does the store update their stock and displays regularly? If not would you go back?

It’s the same for a website.  The website needs to be well designed, easy to navigate, have regular content that is useful to the user and helps the user to find what they are looking for.  This is what the Search Engines want from your website! This is where SEO comes into play.

SEO or Search Engine Optimisation

SEO is how to present your website to the user and Search Engine’s, in order to rank in Google, Bing and other providers.

Every website needs to have basic SEO.

This includes; great design, easy to navigate, the right keywords, connections to other websites [backlinks], fast loading images, optimal speed and performance, keywords for people to find you, and regular content added i.e. a Blog.

Why should I have a Blog?

The purpose of a blog is to add regular content to the website.  Optimised content [with Meta tags & keywords] has the potential to bring more traffic to the website.  It helps build your website’s credibility with Google & other Search Engines. A blog can help boost your position in the Search Engine’s listings.  

What are Backlinks?

Backlinks are other websites linking back to your website.  These include such websites, as directories, mini-sites, mini-blogs, industry related sites and more. For example, adding a business profile to True Local with your website link is considered a backlink.

The more connections to your site the more power your website become’s with Google and other SE’s [search engines].

They MUST be from high authoritative websites that comply with Google’s guidelines.

What are Keywords?

Keywords help describe your content and help Google and other SE’s [search engines] to rank your pages.

Speed and performance

If your site is slow or not performing well, users will leave quickly.  It is imperative your site is fast loading and easy to use.

Organic SEO combines all these from above.  All websites should have some basic SEO, even if it includes writing a blog once a month and joining a few directories every month. This will help.

What are Keywords?
Keywords help describe your content and help Google and other Search Engines to rank your pages.
Without keywords on the page, Google will not know what the page is about.
The keywords must be strategically placed in order for Google to understand the keyword you wish the page to rank for.
You must also NOT over add keywords as Google will penalise you for this.

Let’s Build a Website has had over 10 years experience in the web industry. We have learnt many things over the years about Google and what to do and what NOT to do when writing and formatting a page. We have learnt how to write content for Google, so a page will rank it’s best for the chosen keyword.

Google and its ranking algorithm changes constantly, so we are always learning and keeping up to date with the changes. This reflects in our small business SEO experience and practices.

What are backlinks?

Backlinks are connection or links from other websites back to your website.

It is important to have good quality backlinks to your site.  Google takes this into consideration when ranking your site.

Backlinks can indicate to Google that your website is important and useful to its visitors.

Definition of types of backlinks

We only use quality websites for the backlinking process according to Google and other search engine’s rules and policies.

Business Directories

We add your approved business descriptions and website link/s to local and International directory websites.

Web 2 Properties

We make mini websites with free online software.  The mini website’s we make are built with content related to your website but do not have the same content.  We add links to the mini websites, that link back to pages in your website, hence creating a backlink. E.g. wordpress.com, blogger.com, tumblr.com.


Social bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a great tool for keeping your favourite web pages organised. We belong to many social bookmarking sites. We add your website link as one of our favourite websites, hence creating a backlink.

E.g.


Guest Posting

We research blogs that are relevant to your industry. Then write a comment on one of the blogs and include a link to your website. This creates a backlink.

Mini Sites

Mini sites mean we buy some old domains with authority, build them into websites add your website to this site, to get an authoritative backlink.

Why you should have a blog?

What is a blog?

A blog is a dynamic page or feeds on your site.  It should be updated regularly. The latest blog post sits at the top of the blog feed.

A blog can help in the following ways:

  • It’s a great way to connect with your customer’s.
  • It can help keep customer’s informed and up to date on your business activities, events, services and products.
  • Adding fresh content to your site on a regular basis can be useful to your visitors.
  • Anything that is beneficial to the user, wins you brownie points with Google and other Search Engines.
  • Having a blog can help boost your site’s authority with Google and other Search Engines.
  • It can help rank your site better.

What can you blog about?

  • Topics that are relevant to your business.
  • Free tips about goods or services you offer.
  • Tutorials relevant to the nature of your business.
  • Projects you have created.
  • Products you sell.
  • Recipes.
  • Events.
  • There are many things you can blog about.

The purpose of a blog is to add regular content to the website.  Optimised content [with Meta tags & keywords] has the potential to bring more traffic to the website.  It helps build your website’s credibility with Google & other search engines.

A blog can help boost your position in the Search Engine’s listings.  

Why is speed and performance so important?
Speed and performance is a major factor that contributes to how your website is ranked in Google. If your site is slow and not performing well, users will leave quickly.  It is imperative your site is fast loading and easy to use.

Why is speed so important?

If you go to a website and the page takes forever to load.  What do you do?  You leave and go back to Google to find a quicker loading website.
This action is considered by Google a bad user experience.  Therefore Google will not rank the slow website well compared to other websites that have a faster page load.

What hinders the speed of a web page or website?

There are a few different factors. These are some major ones.

Images are a huge contributor to slow web pages. If the resolution [size in kilobytes] of an image is over 100kb it is usually considered too big and will result in a slower page load.

Images need to be reduced in file size and dimension.  We do this in our small business SEO packages and can teach you how to maintain this ongoing.

Plugins

If you are using a program like WordPress then plugins can be a huge contributor to having a slow website overall.
In our small business SEO packages, we check your plugins to see if all of them are necessary if not delete old ones and/or replace obsolete ones.

We then keep them updated and monitor them every month.

Caching plugin

A caching plugin helps store page data in memory, so it doesn’t have to keep loading the same content over and over.

We add a caching plugin in our SEO packages, to help speed up your website. This can be tricky to set up and needs to be set up correctly otherwise it can be detrimental to your website.

These are just some of the tasks we perform in our small business SEO packages.

Click here to test the speed of your website. Choose Melbourne for the server location.

How long will it take to see SEO results?
Small Business SEO does take time. And there is no way to cheat to speed up the process.  Organic SEO has to be done naturally otherwise, Google will penalise your site.  Cheating may include things like outsourcing backlinks to link farms or copying content.

Backlinks

NEVER pay someone to get you 100’s or 1000’s of backlinks for your website.  You may have already received emails offering you many backlinks for a small amount of money. DO NOT attempt this.  These companies usually do not use sites that comply with Googles guidelines for backlinks.  And usually, they just want your money and don’t care who you link to.
This can be very detrimental to your site and will cause a lot of damage to your online reputation.

Content

NEVER copy content from other peoples websites and add it to your own website.
NEVER pay someone to write content for you without doing research on the company and looking at examples of their work.  They might copy from other websites and claim to write the content themselves.  This is very bad for your online reputation and Google will not rank this content well at all.  Your site might also get penalised by Google.  This means dropping your site from the Google directory, so no-one can ever find you.

Copyscape is a good way to check if any of your content has been copied.

Small business SEO  – results

We will work really hard to improve your rankings within 3 months.
Usually, you should see page 1 rankings for certain keywords within 3-6 months.

In a nutshell, we need to do a combination of adding fresh content, creating new backlinks in directories /and other websites and lastly making sure your website speed and performance is at its best.

If all these tasks are performed on a regular basis then your website is on the right track for earning its authority and position in Google and other Search Engines.
