EDMONTON SEO​

SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It's the process of improving your organic search rankings and website visibility for specific search terms that are relevant to your products, services, and business. In general, the more organic keywords your website ranks for, the higher chance you have to gain free search engine traffic, customers, and sales.

Most business owners and marketers hire Edmonton SEO agencies or Edmonton SEO Experts to consistently improve their overall organic search rankings and get on the first page of Google. Gaining organic search results for relevant keywords is very competitive and takes a lot of focus and effort.

SEO usually generates large amounts of quality organic website traffic, leads, and sales for your business if you can reach the first page of Google. SEO gives your website the opportunity to show at the top of relevant search results without having to use pay-per-click (PPC) advertising.

Yes, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is still very relevant in 2021. In fact, because of the global pandemic, many companies are investing more into their SEO efforts vs. internet marketing. As long as search engines are around, and search engine rankings matter (which they always will), then search engine optimization will be relevant.

SEO is a bit of a complicated process as there are over 200 SEO ranking factors to consider. However, SEO best practices consist of an SEO audit, writing quality content that answers searchers' questions, generate backlinks, and is found to be relevant, important, and accurate to users.

SEO is a long-term marketing strategy where there are several steps. Some of those steps include improving website performance & accessibility, creating content, optimizing content, adding website schema, creating & claiming citations, and much much more.

Website SEO is normally focused on generating search traffic from non-location based search terms. Local SEO search would be someone that searches for a keyword and adds a city, region, or country to the search query. 

Yes, the website platform that you choose to build your business website with does matter when it comes to SEO. There have been many studies that have shown that platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify do not rank as easily as WordPress. This is one of the reasons why we build all of our client websites with WordPress and only accept WordPress websites for our SEO services.

SEO services can cost between $950 to $20,000+ per month. The cost of SEO depends on how much effort and hours you want an SEO expert to put into your website. Our Edmonton search engine optimization service packages are based on our hourly rate of $95/hour and we require a minimum of 10/hours per month for any SEO client.

SEO is very technical and takes time to do properly. The process of doing SEO is to implement a strategy, wait for search engines to see your changes, track and measure how they accepted your changes, and then adjust your strategy based on the results. With over 200 ranking factors and many ways that you can get penalized by search engines, SEO is highly technical and should always be completed by SEO experts.

SEO results typically take anywhere from 6-8 months for most websites and search terms (depending on the difficulty of the keyword). However, it's not uncommon to see results much sooner for lower competition keywords.

When planning your SEO strategy, remember that it's a long term strategy and you should dedicate 18-24 months to fully implement an SEO strategy.

Yes, without an SEO Audit you will not know where to start with your SEO strategy. An SEO audit gives you a baseline of where your site currently ranks for your most important keywords and allows you to measure improvements over time.

We monitor SEO results with a keyword tracking report that shows the month over month improvements of our website search engine optimization efforts. Our monthly SEO report is simple and easy to understand so that you can see your rankings increase every month.

No, you don't need a long term SEO contract. However, since it does take an average of 6-8 months to improve search rankings, it's recommended that you consider working with an SEO company for a minimum of 6-12 months.

Investing in SEO and Internet Marketing are both important in staying at the top of search results. However, they are two completely different strategies. While SEO is a long term strategy that helps you rank your website organically over time, internet marketing is the process of buying pay-per-click (PPC) search ads to instantly rank at the top of search results.

Absolutely, anyone can do SEO! However, if you're looking to rank your website for specific keywords this decade, it's probably best that you hire an SEO Company or SEO specialist that has experience performing search engine optimization services. We've been doing SEO in Edmonton for over 10 years and have been trusted by many SEO clients and companies with their website and search rankings.
