- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1) We start off with a phone call. It is always best for me to have a solid understanding of your business, and your business objectives before we begin. This is important in order to align expectations for the project being worked on and to make sure you are a happy customer. 2) I get the best understanding possible of you and your business. I typically start off by reading every word on your website (if you have one), doing research on your industry, and getting a grasp on what exactly it is that you do. This is obviously easier if I already understand what you do. 3) I research all of your online competition and get a grasp for who all we will be competing for rankings with. 4) I figure out everything you are already ranking for. I figure out everything the competition is ranking for. I compare and come up with suggestions for areas we should pursue, areas we should stay away from (highly competitive keywords, etc.), and hidden keywords you might not know you ranked for that we can re-optimize for. 5) I setup a monthly report that will measure and track various key performance indicators so you can see value and ROI. 6) I begin making On-Page optimizations 7) While we wait to see changes in Google for the On-Page modifications, I work on Off-Page SEO 8) Continuously analyze rankings and do more On-Page SEO once changes have taken effect 9) Repeat Steps 7-8 as needed and occasionally revisit Step 4
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In the world of SEO, I am self-taught. I have gained my skills by putting them to real world use. I follow lots of different sources for industry information such as: Search Engine Land, Moz, SEMrush, Search Engine Watch, Search Engine Journal, and more... I really enjoy SEO. That makes it easy for me to stay up to date on news, changes, software and more because I actually enjoy doing it and reading about it. I have ranked many sites for keywords and gotten them to the 1st page. I have done this with new sites that I built myself, and I have drastically improved existing sites rankings.
