DRIVING RESULTS WITH QUALITY CONTENT AND SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT
The success of getting good rankings for your top keywords and phrases depends on many factors such as getting your clients to recommend you on social media, getting them to +1 your site, following your Google+ page, regularly posting on social media and much more. Our SEO strategies are constantly changing and evolving and whenever we standardize our offerings in this area, Google changes its strategies and we have to adapt.
For example, Google recently stopped reporting what keywords trigger visits to websites. It cited privacy concerns as a reason for this change, and in addition, it wants website owners to focus on quality content and social engagement rather than on the use of keywords and inbound links.
While knowing the volume in which keywords are searched is part of the equation and still important, there needs to be a stronger effort on social engagement now more than ever before. Beware of companies that say they can guarantee you top placement on Google. No one can make a guarantee, not even with ads. We will promise you that we’ll spend the time to do all the things that are necessary to help your ranking and you will see improvement over time.
