It is important to know what is happening already on your website, its history, traffic sources and the keywords that are currently bringing you visitors. In partnership with you, we carry out a thorough review of the Google Analytics (or your own solution’s) data.

Keyword Research:

Frequently neglected… and even more often misunderstood.  Keyword research is still a critically important step when companies move their resources online.  Keywords represent the questions asked by your customers and prospects; so your online presence must play to what people are searching for: i.e. your landing pages must provide the best answer to their questions.  Keyword research establishes the keywords that are used by real people to search for your services and products.  Our tools give us the ability to gauge the competitiveness of each keyword and the effort and resources needed to beat your competitors.

Your Website’s SEO Health Part 1: On Page Factors that Can Easily Turn Your Website Into Your Best Salesman

In simple terms, these are the technical details about the information structure on each page of your website: ensuring page titles reflect content and keywords: header tags use the appropriate keywords; making sure content of each page is relevant to your business activities and that it is relevant to: first of all, your customers and prospects; secondly (again!) those keywords and  that it is accessible via smart phones and tablets.  If you go for the SEO Health check service we offer, you will have the beginnings of a plan for world (or at least local) domination.  Part 1 is presented to customers as part text report and part screen video capture report.

Your Website’s SEO Health Part 2:

This boils down to what other people and websites think of your website!  Part of this is bound up in how many websites link back to you (backlinks) and increasingly importantly, social media mentions.  Do you appear in a comprehensive range of directories and how good is the quality and optimisation of your business’ Google Plus Local map listings and map listings in other search engines.  These factors are especially important for local businesses.

Your Website’s Internet Marketing Review Part 2:  A Strategy for Improving Your Rankings and Getting Top Google Placements.

Consulting Cumbria Ltd will advise you on a strategy to help you grow your business by getting MORE CUSTOMERS via your online presence.  Search engine optimisation for Internet marketing needs to be an ongoing process: it’s a bit like keeping the garden watered and like most gardens, this needs a significant chunk of work up front and then regular maintenance for best results.   There will always be 3 parts to this strategy.

a) Designing or redesigning the information structure of your website, including making it accessible to mobile devices.

b) Setting out a plan for developing sufficient backlinks to your site(s) to outrank competitors, in a manner that appears natural to the search engines.

c)  Social Media Management Strategy: establishing a good network of social media sites and a regular routine for posting updates about your business in a professional and engaging manner that encourages people to look at your main website and spread the word. YouTube, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the multitudes of other social channels are the 21st-century equivalent of good old fashioned word-of-mouth.
