Our Proven SEO Methodology

SEO is not a “set it and forget it” approach. As search engines evolve and technology advances, successful SEO campaigns require a comprehensive and ongoing strategy.


That’s why we’ve developed our own proven SEO methodology that takes into account all the latest search engine algorithms and industry best practices.  You can read an overview of how we help our customers optimise their websites and climb the rankings in Google to get more leads and sales.


Get in touch and one of our SEO consultants will be happy to discuss how we can help you get better search engine rankings and increased visibility for your website.


01 On-Page SEO

On page SEO is an important part of any website's success. It is essential for getting more leads and improving website visibility. As a leading SEO agency, we optimise your website’s content, and structure, to ensure that search engines can easily crawl and index your website.


We also help you create content that is targeted towards your target audience, ensuring that you have the best chance of getting more leads.


Blogging is another key element for a successful SEO strategy.  Our Copywriters will not only write compelling content for your websites' pages but can also write engaging SEO blogs.


With our affordable SEO services, you can be sure that your website is optimized for success.

02 off-page SEO

Off page SEO components are essential for any website to rank higher in search engine results. Building backlinks is one of the most important off page SEO components. It involves getting other websites to link to yours, which helps boost your website's ranking.


We will also list your business in online directories to increase its visibility and credibility online.


Additionally, creating a Google Business profile and optimizing it for SEO can also help your website rank higher. This will involve providing accurate information and making sure that your profile is up to date. By doing this, your website will be more likely to appear when people search for relevant keywords

03 Technical SEO

Technical SEO is a term that refers to the parts of your website that you cannot see such as the coding, site structure, and speed etc. It is important that the technical SEO elements of your website are addressed as they will ensure that search engines can crawl and index your site easily.


Whilst on-page is largely about the content of your website, what people can see and read, technical SEO will be all of the stuff behind the scenes that makes your website run smoothly and quickly.


There are many elements to consider with technical SEO but the key elements include:


  • Site structure
  • Sitemaps
  • Mobile optimisation
  • Website speed


04 Content Creation

Content is a huge part of any SEO strategy. It is important for SEO because it helps to increase website traffic and visibility.


Content creation as part of an SEO strategy also helps to build links, increase user engagement, and improve conversions (i.e. sales). Content can include:


  • Blog posts,
  • Articles,
  • Case studies
  • Videos,
  • Infographics


We will work with you to create a content strategy for your website to ensure that it is always kept up to date with new relevant content that will not only drive more visitors to your website but also help to convert those visitors into customers

Generate more leads from your website with our proven SEO processes

We do this in two ways. Firstly, with search engine optimisation, we increase the number of visitors that your website receives. Secondly, conversion rate optimisation, creating great content that convinces those visitors to get in touch.

Search Engine Optimisation Goal Setting & Objectives

Here at Overt Digital Media, we take our client's requirements for their websites very seriously. We work closely with each client to help to manage their goals and expectations for their website to achieve the most successful results.


The whole process of building, actioning and assessing SEO strategies can be time-consuming. It takes time for an SEO strategy to yield results. Therefore, at Overt Digital Media, we keep our clients updated on the actions and progress of their SEO service so they can see the return on their investment.


An alternative to SEO is Google Ads or PPC campaigns. Ads can be helpful when our client requires a quick result. We can provide both an SEO service and Google Ads. Google Ads are a quick fix, but you lose your position when you stop the service. SEO takes longer but provides long-term results.


Using the appropriate and relevant terminology is key to the performance of SEO. At Overt Digital Media, we conduct extensive keyword research to identify the best search terms to help you achieve your goals and grow your business. Keyword research is the foundation of any SEO campaign. 

Keyword Research

Here at Overt Digital Media, by researching the keywords that are used for search queries, we can establish the search volumes and level of competition on Google. In doing this, we can ensure that our client's website contains valuable content that will be accessible to their target audiences in the SERPs.


There are essentially three factors to keep in mind when conducting keyword research:

1) Search volume - how many times is the search term typed into Google? If no one is searching for the keyword, then there is no point trying to get to the top of Google for it. Many companies try to rank for terms that only industry experts use (i.e. jargon). You want to use the terminology your customers use.


2) Competitiveness - How likely is it that you will be able to rank for the keyword in a reasonable time. Unfortunately, small businesses don't have unlimited time or money to try to rank for the most popular keywords.


3) Commercial intent - how likely is the person searching to purchase? Most small businesses work with an SEO agency to generate business instead of awareness. 

SEO Planning

At Overt Digital Media, we plan the SEO campaign with our clients to agree on the best strategy to achieve your goals.

 

There are various ways in which this can be completed. For example, some of our clients prefer to follow a staged approach broken down into task lists. Metadata, broken links and accessibility are just a few of the aspects that can be discussed when exploring the Technical SEO and Site Health of the client's website.


Alternatively, we can provide a less technical overview for our clients that can cover local SEO strategies and can be more achievable in the short term. Follow-up stages could then cover national SEO or shorter tail keywords.


Overt Digital Media offers a flexible approach to planning Search Engine Optimisation for our client's websites. This approach accommodates necessary changes that arise over time, which, in turn, ensures that the SEO performance is targeted to maximise traffic to their sites.

Structuring your website for SEO

One common issue with Web Design companies is that they believe that Development and SEO are often conducted separately and in isolation. 


Many businesses think search engine optimisation is something to be carried out once the website has been built. While technically, this is not incorrect, websites that embrace SEO within the heart of the build are the ones that get better and quicker results.


How a site is structured can impact the user experience in either a positive or negative way.


Website visitors are impatient and if they cannot immediately find the information they want, they will move on to the next website in the search results. This is called a 'bounce'. Websites with a higher bounce rate will be penalised by search engines like Google and are less likely to rank.


Structuring your website so that it is easy to use and navigate will positively impact your SEO strategy and will help you generate more leads.

SEO Measurement: Performance & Success

Search engine optimisation is often seen as a 'black art', and you have to trust that your SEO agency is doing what they promised.


Whilst SEO processes can be confusing, the results shouldn't be.


At Overt Digital Media, we provide a monthly report to all our SEO clients that will tell them how their website is ranking and how many visitors have been on it in the past month. We will also tell you how many leads your website has generated over that month.

Local SEO

Many companies have specific geographic areas where they conduct their business. This may be as small as a few square miles, their local town, for example


For example, a law firm in Christchurch may know that most of their clients live within a 5-mile radius. 


Factoring in the specific locations you want to rank for is key to a successful local SEO strategy. 


There is no point trying to rank at the top of Google for a Law firm in Bournemouth as potential customers won't travel that far to use a service they can get much closer to home.

Social Media and SEO

Social media helps with search engine optimisation. Whilst social media doesn't directly contribute to your ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs), it does increase the visibility of your brand and website.


Any good SEO agency will factor social media into any search engine optimisation service.

Link Building

At Overt Digital Media, we assure our clients that the SEO for their websites does not use link building in an attempt to deceive search engines. This would potentially result in a manual or automatic Google penalty. So instead, our focus is to cover all aspects, including social media optimisation, content strategy, local SEO and NAP consistency, and technical and on-page SEO.


Having one quality link is more valuable than having many low authority links.

Content Strategy

Due to the ever-changing nature of most industries, Overt Digital Media offers ongoing updates to our client's websites. This ensures they get the best return on their investment from their SEO service.


Search engines love new content, so regular content updates will improve rankings and visibilty.


One of the most effective ways of adding new SEO optimised content is to publish a regular blog.


These can be case studies, company updates, industry news or thought leadership articles. 


At Overt Digital Media, we can provide a professional blog writing service as part of your SEO package.


In addition, client's websites can be updated by adding articles that the use of different mediums, including podcasts and videos, can enhance.

Content is key for SEO

Good, engaging content is essential to help your website rank and convince visitors to purchase from you.


There are several key questions we will regularly ask. These include:

  1. What content is missing from your website
  2. Could we present the existing content more engagingly with videos, images or infographics
  3. Would a particular section benefit from a dedicated page?
  4. Could schema markup help Google understand the content better?


Challenging our clients is essential to get the best results from your SEO package. We work closely with our clients to understand their business and suggest new keywords and strategies. Improving the rankings is only half the battle. Convincing website visitors to become a lead or a customer is the key goal of anyone paying an SEO agency to optimise their website. This leads us to the final area of Conversion Rate Optimisation.

Conversion Rate Optimisation

The increase in the percentage of users or website visitors to follow the desired action is called "conversion rate optimisation".


We work with our clients to ensure that their website achieves its objectives and continues to improve. 


A key way of doing this is building Artificial Intelligence rules that personalise the content and experience for each visitor. Artificial Intelligence has been shown to convert up to 19% more leads than websites without A.I.

Read the answers to some of the common questions we get asked about search engine optimisation

  • Will I be at the top of page 1 on Google

    The top listings on each page of Google are reserved for paid adverts.   SEO alone won't get you above these adverts.  


  • How long before I see the results

    The amount of time it takes to see the results of your SEO efforts can vary depending on a number of factors, including the competitiveness of your industry, the quality of your website and the effectiveness of your SEO strategy. 


    In general, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to see the results of your SEO efforts. However, it is important to keep in mind that SEO is a long-term strategy, and it can take months or even years to see the full benefits of your efforts. 


    It is also important to note that SEO is not a one-time effort - it requires ongoing work to maintain and improve your search engine rankings.

  • What are Remarketing Ads

    Remarketing Ad are the advertisements you see that follow you throughout the internet.  They are extremely effective and value for money

  • I'm still not sure it's for me

    SEO (search engine optimization) is a strategy that involves improving the visibility and ranking of your website in search engines like Google. It is designed to help your website rank higher in search results for keywords related to your business, which can lead to more organic (non-paid) traffic to your site.


    SEO can be a very effective strategy for businesses that are looking to increase their online visibility and attract more customers to their websites.


    However, it's important to keep in mind that SEO is a long-term strategy, and it can take time to see the results of your efforts. It's also important to note that SEO is just one aspect of a comprehensive online marketing strategy, and it may not be the best fit for every business.


    If you're not sure whether SEO is the right strategy for your business, you may want to consider consulting with a digital marketing professional or agency. They can assess your business goals and website and help you determine the best course of action.


  • Does SEO really work

    Yes, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) really works. SEO is a set of techniques that help websites rank higher in search engine results, making them more visible to potential customers. SEO helps to optimise individual pages, content, and overall website structure, leading to increased visibility, traffic, and conversions. When done properly, SEO can effectively improve your website's ranking in the organic search results, resulting in increased visibility and more organic traffic.

  • How does Search Engine Optimisation work

    Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of making webpages more visible in search engine results pages (SERPs). 


    SEO uses a combination of on-page and off-page strategies, combined with factors such as the quality of content, the relevance of keywords, the user experience of the page, and the website's reputation, to improve website rankings and visibility. On-page SEO covers all elements on the page, such as page titles, meta descriptions, keywords, alt tags, and image optimization. Off-page SEO factors such as link building, guest blogging, article submission, and directory listings can also be used to improve website rankings.

  • why is search engine optimisation important to a business

    Search engine optimisation (SEO) is important to a business because it helps to improve their visibility in search engine results, driving more organic traffic to their website. SEO helps to ensure that a business’s website is optimized for search engines, making it more likely to appear in search results and more likely to be clicked on by users. 


    Optimising a website for search engine algorithms can also help to improve the user experience and make the website easier to navigate for visitors. Additionally, SEO can help to increase brand awareness and credibility, improve conversion rates, and generate leads and sales. All of these benefits can be helpful for businesses as they strive to reach their goals.

  • What keywords should I target for my SEO strategy

    There are several factors to consider when choosing keywords for your SEO strategy:


    Relevance: Choose keywords that are relevant to your business or website.


    Search volume: Consider the number of people searching for a particular keyword.


    Competition: Look at the level of competition for a particular keyword.


    User intent: Think about the intention behind the search. Are users looking to make a purchase, or are they looking for information?


    Localisation: If you have a local business, consider including location-specific keywords in your strategy.


    Long-tail keywords: These are more specific, longer phrases that are less competitive and can help you target a specific audience.


    To get started, try using a keyword research tool like Google Keyword Planner to identify potential keywords and get an idea of their search volume and competition level. You can also use these tools to see how your competitors are using keywords in their SEO strategies.
