Frequently Asked Questions

What's your process for an initial SEO audit?

We'll start by analyzing your current SEO performance. This includes technical SEO, where we'll look at your site speed, mobile-friendliness, and crawlability. We'll also identify any red flags, such as indexing issues or duplicate content.

How do you support website optimization?

After the initial analysis, we'll move on to on-page SEO. We'll conduct a keyword analysis, identify meta tags, optimize your URL structure, and optimize your internal linking structure for maximum performance and an enhanced user experience. 

What does your competitor analysis look like?

A competitor analysis is part of our discovery process. This includes a market analysis to determine how you stack up against your competitors in search engine rankings.

How do you develop a link-building strategy?

When we tackle off-page SEO, we'll analyze the quality and quantity of backlinks pointing back to your website. We'll also look at online brand mentions and social signals as we work to increase the number of visits to your website, strengthen your brand authority, and boost the number of new business opportunities.

How do you conduct a user experience (UX) audit?
