My SEO approach is based on proven belief that organic growth is an outcome of excellence across three core pillars;
- Technical Governance – making your content visible by ensuring your website is built to web development and SEO best practices.
- Effective content – helping your customers by ensuring you have the answers to the questions they’re searching with.
- Digital PR – leveraging your brand and content assets to continually improve your backlink profile.
It’s the process of optimising everything you do.
I call it Optimology :)
Engagement Model
My approach is based on providing SEO direction to your teams and vendors across technical development, content strategy and PR.
- I work with your team. Often in your office alongside you – I find this is helpful in education, raising awareness and getting results.
- Based on your business objectives, I share roadmaps, project plans, define KPIs and setup reporting before we do anything else. This ensures everyone is aware of what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and how we know if we’re doing well. I then work solidly with your team throughout the project.
- I work on both retainer and project basis; sometimes both and whatever works for you.
