A beautiful design with a good user experience is only the first step to creating a great website. In order for your site to be successful, it must first be found. Roughly 75% of clicks on an organic search results page go to one of the top five results; and a staggering 92% of clicks happen on the first page of results.  In other words, you can’t afford not to have good rankings for your targeted search queries.

Search Engine Optimization refers to on and off-site changes made to your website and online presence that help your site rank better in the organic (non-paid) Google, Yahoo and Bing search engine results.  SEO involves our team making recommendations and working directly with you and the developer to ensure that the site is accessible by the major search engines and optimized for improved keyword rankings.  SEO techniques may include updates to content, code, site architecture, link structure, images, tags and more.

Optimization for search engine rankings affects each part of a web design project.  From the keyword phrases used throughout each web page on your site to navigation considerations, internal linking anchor text, and more, we will ensure that current SEO tactics are used that are both search engine and user friendly.  We are experts in how search engines work and we’ll make sure that your site employs industry best practices for both on and off-site SEO.
