Search Engine Optimisation

What is SEO?
Search engine optimisation (SEO) can be broken down into two main steps. The first is altering your website so that it can rank highly in searches on search engines such as Google and Yahoo. The second step is to build links back to your website from other web sites.

How can I use SEO to increase the traffic to my site?
The first step is choosing popular search phrases. Our team work with you to select popular phrases relevant to your business that will draw large numbers of potential customers to your site. By choosing the right search phrases, you can literally increase your site traffic by thousands of users per day. We then optimise your site for your selected search phrases and begin the process of link building.

I already have a site but I'm not appearing in google searches. How quickly can I get results for my site?
Sometimes existing sites need only minor modifications and alterations of a few technical details to get results within a couple of weeks. Email Manchester Web Design or call us on 0161 932 1510 for a no obligation chat about your requirements.

The stages of SEO

Stage 1 - Select your phrases
The first step in the SEO process is to select the key phrases your target customers are most likely to enter into search engines such as Google when looking for your product or service. Our team work with you to find a key-phrase niche that fits your business. We then check for the most frequently searched for alternatives to ensure we maximise the volume of visitors for each phrase.

Stage 2 - Prepare your site
Our consultants maintain an in-depth understanding of what each of the various search engines look for on your website. This enables them to structure your site and content in the best way to ensure the best possible rank on search engines for your search phrases.

Stage 3 - Building and maintaining links
SEO is an ongoing process. Once your site has been optimised it's important to build high quality links back to your site. This is especially important to rank well on Google which currently has approximately 80% of the UK search engine market. We provide various options for ongoing link building and directory submission services. We can also manage your pay per click advertising to ensure that you're not paying for position on key-phrases unnecessarily.
