Marketing your Savannah business online will bridge the gaps between consumers and the products/services you offer via Search Engines, which is presently how nearly everyone searches for anything (almost everything) they need. To not rank high or have any online presence for your business, especially if you're business is new, is to diminish your exposure to potential clients/customers and relinquish working with them to your competitors who do have superior online presence.

How SEO Works

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is a combination of strategies and tools used to boost your website's search engine ranking (I.E. Google, Bing, etc.). More specifically, optimizing your website is a game of understanding how search engines work, what they want (great content) and implementing these various qualities into websites. SEO services may include:

  • Responsive Web Design (RWD) - This makes your website mobile friendly.
  • Sitemaps & TXT Files - These files tell search engines what is on your site and what/what not to index.
  • Content - This may include Landing Pages, Blog Posts, or even videos (Vlogs/Podcasts).
  • Website Security - Namely, this starts with a Secure Socket Layer, but there's certainly much more involved.
  • Research & Analytics - These are tools and metrics that help you track progress and make necessary changes to ensure success
  • Directory Submissions - This involves submitting your website to online directories, like Yelp, YP and others.
  • Code - Everything from Alt tags to Headings must be coded properly to maximize the importance of your keywords and boost your rank
  • Social Media - Social Media Marketing is a must for any online campaign, and when utilized properly, can yield tremendous traffic and viewership.

There are many more implementations that go into SEO for your website, but these are just some of the primary ones to give an idea of how dense and multi-faceted SEO can truly be. Most of all, SEO is a game of patience and diligence.

Black Hat SEO Vs White Hat SEO

Not all SEO is equal. From the early days of individuals repeating keywords in text the same color as their webpage's background to present theft and plagiarism of other people's work, some marketers have tried to beat the system with Black Hat SEO. Fortunately, Search Engine's often stay ahead of them, and even when they do find exploits, Search Engines are quick to address it and penalize these individuals for their unethical practices.

At SMM, we only implement standard White Hat SEO strategies and services to correctly boost your website rank with search engines and maintain your site's rank once achieving it.
