Ah, link building. When it comes to SEO, people are always talking about how important link building is (they’re right). And people are often telling you that you should invest in link building (you should of course). But nobody tells you how much to spend on it!

Having a properly optimised website is vital if you want to rank highly on search engines.
When a website is launched, it isn’t safe to assume that the web developer has properly optimised the website, or put all the redirects in place.
We understand this is frustrating, which is why we offer onsite SEO as part of our packages, or as a stand alone service.
A search engine receives billions of queries every hour. Their aim is to return a list of websites that most closely match what the visitor has asked for, and are a trustworthy source.
Onsite SEO (search engine optimisation) is, as the name suggests, the practice of optimising a website so that search engines can easily find the information they need to decide if a website matches the query.
But onsite SEO goes far beyond helping search engines understand what a website is about-it is also vital in engaging visitors, and helps them decide if the returned websites are indeed what they are looking for.
Some elements of onsite SEO, such as the Alt text on images, helps visitors who are visually impaired to navigate the website, and are an important ranking factor.
There are a wide number of ranking factors for onsite SEO. Some are more important than others, but all need to be considered.
Here at GrowTraffic, we believe in straightforward pricing and transparency.
We can optimise approximately 4 webpages per hour, once we know the keywords.
During that time, we will add alt text to the images, add in internal links, make sure the H tags contain the keyword and any relative longtail semantics, and make sure the snippet is enticing and explains what the page is about.
We will also make sure the keywords are in the text at the appropriate places so that your chances of getting visitors to your pages are improved.
If this sounds like something you would like help with or want to talk it over, do not hesitate to get in touch.
4-5 pages | All H tags adding | Keywords adding to tags and copy | Meta description/snippet crafted | Tailored slug | Alt text and image descriptions | Tags adding | Internal links (where appropriate) | Any other necessary technical onsite SEO
Onsite SEO isn’t as complicated as some agencies make out. And these days, most web building platforms come with inbuilt SEO tools, such as Yoast.
But doing it well requires a little bit of skill.
Lets start with the basics.
Search engines, such as Google, want websites that are best for the user. It makes sense really. If a user keeps getting spammy, or useless websites recommended to them by a particular search engine, they could take their business elsewhere.
Which is why Google for example, put so much effort and money into making sure they recommend websites that are legitimate, and useful.
They want to return the best websites for what the user has searched for, and they use the details given in the onsite optimisation to do this.
If this isn’t done right, you are going to find it exceptionally difficult to rank, no matter how good your content is, or how often you update it. So if a user searches for ‘dog grooming tips’ and your website is all about dog grooming but you haven’t specified it anywhere, you are not going to rank as highly as a site that has ‘dog grooming tips’ in its meta descriptions, H tags and alt text.
You can indeed do the onsite optimisation yourself, but an SEO agency such as GrowTraffic will make sure that they keywords used are actually being searched for, and that there is a coherence between your onsite content and your onsite optimisation.
If this is sounding all a bit complicated to you, why not arrange for us to give you a call through our contact form so we can tailor our explanation to you?
Alternatively, you can have a look at our training courses to learn how to optimise your own websites.

In my capacity as a freelance seo consultant I’m often approached to build links to a company’s website, however word has got round that links aren’t all that they used to be and it’s true that links aren’t what they once were, however I’d argue that not as much has changed as Google or some SEO experts would have you believe.

It’s all well and good knowing that you’ve got to get links back to your website and that’s why you speak with an seo consultant, but have you ever wondered what methods seo consultants use Google to find websites ranking for the keywords you want to target? Read More
Marketing is an expensive business. As a marketer I’ve spent years spending millions of pounds on behalf of business owners in order to promote their businesses for them, however what do you do if you need to do marketing with no budget?
There are plenty of blog posts out there discussing how to carry out your marketing on a low budget but no one seems to be talking about marketing without a budget, yet this is something a lot of small businesses and startups face every day. Read More
I was planning to write a little blog post on Goole’s latest Penguin update and its influence on the good old backlink, but I’ve had one or two tweets in my twitter column over the past couple of days about the threat of Negative SEO so I thought, as the two are linked, I’d treat you to an article about that instead (with a heavy dose of Penguin and backlinks thrown in for good measure!). I know, don’t all thank me at once. Read More
With all of Google’s recent updates there has been a flurry of SEOs out there that have repositioning themselves as Negative SEOs – that is people that can intentionally hurt the rankings of your competitors. Read More
At the begining of the web, directories were one of the main ways in which websites owners and proto-seos could promote themselves. it now appears that Google has begun to de-index directories, much in the same way they de-indexed blog networks earlier this year. Read More

This is the next SEO technique that Google appears to be going after (or has gone after big style in the last couple of months). A blog network is a group of blogs – normally bog standard wordpress installs, with basic wordpress templates and lots of content. Generally this content is generated explicitly for the purposes of creating links back to a website. Read More
Recently there has been a flurry of people reporting they have been hit with a Webmaster tools penalty that focus’ on the backlinks coming into the site – as this coincides with the most recent update to the Google Panda update (Panda 3.3) I’m assuming it’s part of this update.
Google’s Panda updates exist outside Google’s normal algorithm changes, they are run regularly to tidy up the rankings and the aim of them is to hunt out wrong doers and penalise them for their wrong doings. Read More
It’s important to start every Web site development project by understanding the role of SEO in the project. The team of people working on the project has limited time, and most likely they have a schedule.
