What Is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) takes into account search engine ranking factors, or algorithms, to boost a website’s visibility for desired keywords.

Search Engine Optimization can be broken into two separate and distinct areas of expertise:

On-Page SEO: which includes all SEO efforts completed on a website
Off-Page SEO: all SEO efforts that take place off the website

What Makes Us Different?

City Ranked is always thinking about what comes next.

Quality Content for SEO

Fresh up-to-date content, frequent blogging, and sharing this content via social media, can spotlight your business as a trusted industry leader. New content is also an excellent way to get your business indexed for obscure searches, or front-end keywords related to your business. Blogs and other types of media such as pictures, videos, and infographics are also great ways to generate inbound links to your web property. Having a sound strategy to produce fresh and up-to-date content for your website should be at the core of any sound SEO plan.

Business owners rarely have the time to write original and fresh content for their websites. Having an SEO company with the resources to produce original and fresh content for your website can be key to attaining quality rankings and good conversion rates from your website.

Online Reviews for SEO & CRO

Never underestimate the power of online consumer reviews. A study done by ComScore showed that up to 87% of consumers purchase decision was based upon reviews, and 97% of those said that they made a purchase based their decision a review. Also notable was the fact that consumers were willing to pay up to 20% more for quality services based on favorable reviews. It is essential for businesses to generate positive reviews from consumers for local search ranking. Search engines and consumers alike judge a business based upon the number of reviews, and the velocity of reviews coming in.

Generating positive reviews can be a challenge for just about any business. Here at City Ranked we’ve developed a proprietary platform that allows a customer to generate reviews while customer-facing through text messaging. Our system is easy to use and has been proven to generate online reviews for our clients. Check out our online review generating platform here.

Links & Citations

Developing good quality inbound links to your website is probably one of the most effective ways to improve rankings with the search engine. This is often the most time-consuming component of SEO but can yield large measurable results. In today’s SEO environment with the release of algorithm updates such as Penguin, link earning must be done correctly or you risk being penalized in a future Google update. Linking schemes that involve private website/blog networks, website interlinking schemes, or purchased links will eventually get your website penalized or hurt your rankings.

There are literally hundreds of different ways to build links ethically for your business and website. Almost all of them take time and commitment, so that being said, link building is an advanced SEO tactic.

Local Search Engine Optimization

Local Search, in our opinion, is the best search optimization technique for small businesses. Local search is nothing more than a query that includes a local factor, such as “Plumbers Portland OR”. With the explosion of mobile search, advanced local SEO can be done to increase search engine rankings on these mobile devices, businesses that take advantage of mobile SEO optimization now stand poised to experience growth as mobile usage continues to climb.

According to Google, 20% of the searches they receive are local. Want to know how big this is? Every day 600 million local searches are done on Google alone. Try to get that kind of traffic anywhere else, it’s not going to happen. Clearly, Local Search should be a priority for any small business.

Again, just as above, the local search SEO landscape has changed radically over the past few years. With advances in mobile technology, GPS, and the multitude of different devices out there, local search, and attaining rankings through the various SEO channels has become an Advanced SEO job. Having an experienced SEO company can mean the difference of top 5 rankings, or page 5 rankings when it comes to local search.

On-Page SEO

On page SEO looks at a website’s structure, quality of content, coding, speed, mobile layout, internal linking, and many other factors to favorably increase the website’s visibility for desired keywords on the search engine results page. We typically build a website from the ground up, allowing SEO techniques, and a correctly coded website to drive the whole process. We can also make changes to an existing website to improve on-page SEO as well.

Off Page SEO

Search engines rely on third party websites and data providers to provide information about businesses in the local area. We supply these third-party sites with correct business information in order to improve local search engine rankings, taking into account the search engine algorithms, how people interact with the local business, and tying it back into the business’ most valuable and profitable keywords.
