What benefit can you get from SEO or Search Engine Optimisation?
A lot of people that we talk to have found it difficult to get a straight answer to this. Part of the problem is that there are a lot of variables
- Different web companies use the term ‘SEO’ very loosely and therefore the associated results can vary widely. From what I have seen, this can vary from simply adding a keyword tag through a full SEO/Link-building campaign. Though both activities can be loosely described as SEO – the results are quite different.
- SEO results will differ significantly depending on the industry that you are in and the level of competition in that industry – the more niche you are, the easier it will be to get results.
- The market that you are targeting will also have an influence – ranking highly in Ireland is a lot easier than ranking internationally.
- The quality of your website – if you have a very poor website, to begin with, you are simply wasting your time with SEO campaigns.
- The length of time and resources that are applied to SEO – it’s not a once-off activity.
To show what can be done, I put together a summary of real results from some of our clients. In all cases, these campaigns would have run over twelve months to deliver the required results. Also in all of these cases, the clients are continuing to maintain a strong online presence.
