Having a content library is an excellent way to establish your brand as a thought leader in your industry. It allows you to provide valuable and informative content that helps consumers discover your brand during their research phase. This, in turn, opens doors for top-of-mind consideration and enables effective retargeting campaigns.

However, creating such content requires expertise in the field, and it’s often challenging for brand product managers to find time to build an SEO content library.

That’s where our team comes in to assist. We specialize in finding and hiring subject matter experts who can create various types of content, including infographics, long-form articles, and data visualizations.

In today’s competitive landscape, successful content marketing relies on well-researched, well-written, and conversion-optimized content. We understand the importance of these factors and ensure that your content meets these high standards.

SEO encompasses much more than simply placing keywords on a webpage. With Google’s algorithm now taking user behavior into account, design plays a crucial role in an effective SEO strategy.

Various design elements come into play, such as

  • determining which content deserves prominence above the fold,
  • creating landing pages that encourage further exploration, and
  • ensuring that the content is easily scannable and comprehensible.

It’s important to note that the majority of non-branded SEO visits do not begin on the homepage; instead, users are more likely to land on service pages or articles.

Designers need to understand this user journey and create engaging pages that guide users deeper into the conversion funnel. Additionally, our development approach emphasizes fast loading times, security, and user-friendly website management, enhancing the overall SEO performance.

Linkbuilding

A crucial aspect of Google’s SEO algorithm is the number of links a website can gather from other relevant sites within their industry. These links act as endorsements, vouching for the credibility and trustworthiness of your content. However, it’s important to note that not all links hold the same weight. They need to meet two key criteria:

1. Relevance: The links should originate from websites that are relevant to your industry.
2. Power: The links should come from trustworthy websites with strong domain authority.

Over the past five years, we have developed and refined our link outreach process. We collaborate with publishers, authors, and businesses within our clients’ niches to establish valuable connections between your business and their content.

Our link building approach prioritizes safety and effectiveness, consistently adapting to algorithm updates and delivering proven results.

We pride ourselves on crafting customized solutions that precisely align with our clients’ requirements. Each SEO strategy we develop is a distinct campaign meticulously tailored to your brand and targeted towards your customers.

  • Do you offer SEO penalty recovery services?

    Indeed, our penalty recovery process revolves predominantly around addressing technical SEO issues. It’s worth noting that what is often perceived as “penalties” is frequently the outcome of inadequate website redesigns or domain migrations.

    Our experienced technical team delves deep into the intricacies of your website, meticulously identifying any challenges encountered by search engine crawlers. These issues may encompass problems such as subpar linking, javascript indexation, DNS complications, and more.

    We take pride in collaborating with New York teams, assisting them in diagnosing these concerns, implementing effective solutions, and closely monitoring the recovery progress. Rest assured, we are dedicated to resolving technical obstacles and revitalizing your website’s SEO performance.

  • How do you approach linkbuilding?

    After years of meticulous refinement, we have developed our own in-house link building process that has proven highly effective. Unlike traditional domain-based link building approaches that rely on misleading domain rank stats, our strategy revolves around page-level link building.

    We strategically place links on pages that are already ranked well in Google, enabling quicker indexation and providing strong ranking signals. This approach aligns with the evolution of Google’s algorithms, particularly after the Penguin 2.0 update in 2012. Rather than penalizing links, Google now focuses on devaluing them. Consequently, businesses can potentially waste significant funds on link building efforts that yield negligible benefits for their website.

  • How do you approach keyword research?

    Prior to conducting keyword research, we engage with stakeholders to gain a comprehensive understanding of their business and customers.

    By exploring online platforms like message boards, Quora, and Reddit, we uncover valuable insights into customer pain points. Next, we analyze top competitors and their ranking keywords, tailoring our recommendations based on your site’s profile.

    For new sites, we target untapped keywords or areas with weak competitor content. Established sites focus on high-conversion drivers, prioritizing keywords with high industry cost per click. Additionally, we may suggest informative articles to enhance thought leadership and brand exposure, establishing early trust in the customer’s buying cycle.

  • What are your recommendations for Javascript SEO?

    For enterprise clients utilizing React or Angular, it is crucial to address the challenges associated with using JavaScript for optimal search engine crawling. While Google has made progress in crawling JavaScript, developers still need to implement certain methods to ensure smooth crawling.

    The initial step involves identifying any pages or sections affected by JavaScript penalties, as well as resolving crawl budget issues, indexability concerns, and dead links.

    Once these issues are identified, we are prepared to collaborate with your development team or provide our expertise to assist in implementing necessary fixes.

    Our goal is to ensure that your website overcomes any JavaScript-related obstacles and achieves optimal visibility in search engine results, ultimately enhancing your online presence.

  • What common technical SEO issues do you target?

    When it comes to targeting technical SEO issues, our approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs. However, there are several common issues that we thoroughly review for all clients during our technical audits.

    1. Robots.txt file set to no-index: One issue we often encounter is the incorrect configuration of the robots.txt file, which can inadvertently block certain pages from search engine crawlers. This can happen when developers initially block pages during the development phase but forget to update the settings for the production environment. It’s important to ensure that only relevant pages are blocked and that necessary adjustments are made.
    2. WordPress set to no-index: For WordPress users, we frequently address the problem of pages being set to “no-index” due to various settings within the WordPress platform or SEO plugins. Double-checking these basic configurations is essential to maintain proper indexing.
    3. Http vs Https: Ensuring a secure website by transitioning from HTTP to HTTPS is another crucial aspect we examine. This transition can result in mixed content warnings if certain files, such as images, are still linked using HTTP. We perform a thorough crawl to identify any mixed content issues and establish site-wide redirects to the HTTPS version.
    4. XML sitemap issues:XML sitemaps play a vital role in helping search engines understand the structure of a website. We emphasize the importance of setting up an automated system to generate XML sitemaps whenever there are updates to the site’s content, categories, or user pages.
    5. XML video & image sitemaps: Depending on the nature of your content library, implementing XML video and image sitemaps can enhance the visibility of these media files.
    6. Page speed: Page speed optimization is a crucial factor for a positive user experience, and it is also taken into account by Google’s algorithm. However, the benchmark for page speed may vary across industries. Rather than striving for perfect scores, we focus on outperforming your top SEO competitors. Customized solutions such as content delivery networks (CDNs) or lazy loading can help achieve improved page loading times while considering industry-specific needs.
    7. Mobile content missing: With Google’s mobile-first approach, ensuring that your mobile version of the site is properly indexed is essential. We prioritize optimizing mobile content to align with Google’s mobile-first philosophy.
    8. Missing img alt tags: An easily fixable issue we address is the inclusion of missing alt tags for images. Adding descriptive alternative text not only meets Google’s requirements but also provides critical accessibility for visually impaired users who rely on screen readers. Neglecting alt tags can have consequences not only for search engine rankings but also potential legal implications.

    By thoroughly examining and resolving these technical SEO issues, we strive to enhance your website’s performance, user experience, and search engine visibility.

  • How to interview a technical SEO consultant or agency?

    When interviewing a technical SEO consultant or agency, it’s valuable to assess their web development expertise, as it plays a vital role in understanding the implementation efforts required for their recommendations. Consider asking questions like:

    • Can you share examples of websites you’ve developed in the past and the programming languages you are proficient in
    • How do you determine the prioritization of development tasks?
    • Explain the sequence of loading page elements, such as HTML, DOM, CSS, JS, and External CSS.
    • Could you elaborate on the distinction between client-side and server-side rendering?

    These inquiries delve into their technical knowledge, allowing you to gauge their proficiency and suitability for your specific SEO requirements.

  • How do you incorporate EAT factors into your audits?

    Incorporating EAT (expertise, authority, trust) factors into our audits is an essential aspect of our approach to technical SEO. While this task doesn’t solely fall under the purview of developers, it is still a vital consideration.

    Particularly for “Your Money or Your Life” sites, which encompass health or financial topics, EAT factors play a significant role in establishing trustworthiness.

    EAT factors are often influenced by design elements that contribute to a user’s perception of trust while browsing your site. To achieve this, we focus on incorporating the following design elements:

    • Displaying author information on blogs
    • Highlighting relevant certifications in your field
    • Citing well-researched and well-written sources
    • Establishing a positive online reputation for your brand through platforms like Glassdoor, Google Reviews, and BBB
    • Creating long-form educational content that avoids thin or shallow information
    • Including external links to authoritative sources and avoiding links to pseudoscience or unreliable content

    By addressing these design considerations, we ensure that your website exudes credibility, expertise, and trustworthiness, aligning with Google’s EAT guidelines.
