SEO & Website Optimization (from our blog)

What is SEO?

SEO (search engine optimization) is the process of making your website better for search engines so they can understand
and present your content to people searching for it.

How do you optimize a site for Google Search?

Our SEO guidance includes four main areas: keyword research, content creation,
technical SEO, and link building.

Keyword Research

  • Identify the words and phrases your audience searches for.
  • Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, Google Trends, and Google Search Console.
  • Create content that matches user intent and answers real questions.

Content Creation

  • Write clear, helpful content for humans (not bots).
  • Use headings, bullet points, and good formatting for readability.
  • Use keywords strategically (title, meta, URL, headings, and naturally within the text).
  • Keep content fresh by updating older pages with improved accuracy and usefulness.

Technical SEO

  • Improve page speed (optimize images, minify files, caching, reduce server response time).
  • Keep your website secure (use HTTPS/SSL and keep software/plugins updated).
  • Make the site mobile-friendly with responsive design and clear layouts.
  • Ensure the site is crawlable/indexable (robots.txt, sitemap, canonical tags).
  • Use schema markup where appropriate.

Link Building

  • Create content worth linking to (guides, case studies, infographics, research, videos).
  • Promote content to relevant websites and build relationships.
  • Guest posting can help earn quality links when done correctly.

Keeping Your Website Updated (from our blog)

Why do websites need to be updated?

Web design trends change fast. A website that felt “cutting edge” a few years ago can become stale and outdated and may
turn away potential customers. Keeping your website current supports credibility and performance.

What should I keep updated?

  • Fresh content: add blog posts, update product offerings, and keep information accurate.
  • Modern design: a current look helps your business appear professional and up to date.
  • Functionality: avoid broken links, slow load times, and technical issues that frustrate visitors.
  • Security: update software and plugins regularly to help protect your website and customer data.
  • Social media: integrate social accounts to boost online presence and make content easy to share.

Pricing, Timelines, and “Getting Started”

Our published site content explains our approach and services, but it does not list standard pricing or a fixed timeline.
The fastest next step is to contact us so we can discuss your goals and scope.

What do you need from me to get started?

We start by learning about your business and your customers, and what you like (and don’t like) in website design.
Then we work through the development process with your feedback and approval at every step.
