A Search Marketing Plan = More Web Traffic
Low or no web traffic to your website? Not showing up in local search? Often, search visibility is either nonexistent or very poor, yet it’s essential to compete in today’s online environment. A researched-based search marketing plan process enables Google and other search engines to increase trust and drive traffic to your website. When more people repeatedly view your website, the more viable your business becomes. As trust builds from search engines and search visibility increases, that’s when you propel upward in rank and gain more web traffic. But how?
Enhanced Search Marketing Plan
Getting traffic to your website from search engines either organically using search engine optimization (SEO) or paid online ads is great, but what if you could take it to the next level?
A successful search marketing plan includes SEO, paid ads and website enhancements that are part of an overall content marketing strategy. Here’s a breakdown of key components:
- Organic SEO is the way to get free, organic traffic to websites from search engines. According to BrightEdge research, “Organic search delivers an average of 53.3% of all traffic to websites”. Proper SEO helps to match search queries with relevant webpages and helps to outperform other websites competing for similar keywords.
- Paid ads are the process of paying for ads to appear on search engines and on social media channels.
- Content marketing involves publishing articles to engage audiences and elevate E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). When Google recognizes expertise and authority on a certain topic, websites are rewarded with a high rank on search engines.
- Website enhancements help fix branding and technical issues impacting user-friendliness and search visibility. Our web team may recommend brand enhancements such as adding more graphics, and images and adding keyword-rich copy. We may also recommend navigation changes or even suggest adding new webpages. From a technical perspective, page-speed improvements are often needed as well as mobile-friendly enhancements.
