SEO Service FAQs
What's Best - SEO or Google Ads?
They both work, and generate targetted web traffic. In a perfect world most businesses would want two or three spots on page one of Google – one in the Ads, one in Maps, another in the organic listings. I don’t see SEO and PPC as competition. Everything boils down to what works best for your business at this point in time, and where you want to be in the next 9 – 12 months. That’s why I always recommend we have a chat. By doing this I can provide you some ideas that may help you get clarity on what will be most beneficial for your business.
That being said, if there was no immediate pressure on my business and had to choose one it would be SEO traffic. Organic search traffic is sometimes called “free” traffic, since you don’t pay search engines for the visitors to your website. Plus, there is no ceiling to what you can rank for, way beyond what a Google Ads budget could deliver.
With paid-for visitors you are bidding on certain keywords, so you lose out on a huge amount of potential traffic. Also, you are limited by how much you are willing to pay – once your ad budget is finished for the day you don’t get seen by anyone until the next day.
However the biggest benefit I see is that a correctly done SEO campaign will build the authority of your domain in the eyes of Google and they begin to trust you more. Your website starts to rank for many search phrases, and you become an authority in your field. You have probably seen that – particular sites keep appearing for searches in particular industries or topics. That’s authority – SEO can get you that, but paid ads never will.
An authoritative website, that is trusted by Google, is a significant asset as part of your business.
How Will I Know If The SEO Is Working?
At the beginning of your SEO campaign I will spend time doing keyword research. This helps me see what terms your potential customers are looking for on Google. A lot of these will be obvious, but I always manage to find some “gems”. I then check and see what position your website is currently ranking for these search terms on {GoogleGoogle’s results}, and the level of the competition. We agree what search terms we will be going after and those are what I work to improve your site’s visibility for.
These search phrases are added to a rank tracking software, which keeps an eye on which position your website is appearing for the terms. I keep a daily eye on this, and every Monday morning you will receive a full report showing where your website is ranking, and you will be able to see the progress.
In the end, however, SEO is all about getting more (and the correct type of) visitors to your website. Assuming your website meets the needs of visitors, you should see an increase in telephone calls, contact form and email enquiries, and footfall (if you have that kind of business).
How Long Does SEO Take To Work?
Having said that, I normally see positive movement for my clients within the first few weeks of a campaign, but typically with SEO you are taking in timeframes of months to get solid and stable rankings. But, it is totally worth it. If you can rank highly and stay there it can positively transform (and protect) your business. I have seen it many, many times over the years.
That depends where you are currently ranking, the power and relevance (from a Google-perspective) of your website domain, and the degree of competition you are up against. Given how specific it is, that’s why I suggest contacting me so I can do a {quick fast} audit (free). This gives you a picture of where you are and what you can realistically anticipate, and how long it will take.
Having said that, I usually see positive activity for my customers within the initial couple of weeks of a campaign, but usually with SEO you are looking at timeframes of months to obtain solid and steady rankings. { But, it is worth it.
