Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
SEO
SEO isn’t so much about attracting your ideal client to your business but making sure your ideal client can find you when they do a search for something online. When they are searching for a solution to a problem or for information on a chosen subject, you want to do everything you can to make sure you pop up in the results ahead of your competition.
SEO can be a complex and confusing subject and can be a hugely time-consuming and frustrating task. If done incorrectly, it can have a massively detrimental impact on your site.
That’s why it’s imperative to take expert advice.
At Seahorse Creative, we are on hand to give your site the best possible chance of getting found online ahead of your competitors.
Firstly, we will undertake a full website and SEO audit. Following this we will put together a full written report with our findings and suggestion how to increase traffic to your site and convert this traffic to paying clients.
We don’t just do a general audit; we carry out a bespoke audit tailored to your individual needs. We will look at your business and discuss with you your target audience, competitors and specific keywords you want to get found for.
We then look at both the front and back end of your site (on page and off page SEO) to identify any issues and ways to enhance your ranking performance.
