Search Engine Strategy

Search Engine Strategy

Positioning is to online, what location is to offline.

When you start a business, there are many factors that need to be evaluated. You study the market, allocate budgets, plan your every move and are still faced with great uncertainty. Considering all factors you still proceed and start the business, taking your chances by moving forward with a risky decision and a ton of investment with no return in sight any time soon.

During the planning, one of the most crucial decisions that any brick and mortar business makes, is choosing the right location. Many business experts have summoned “location” as the prime reason for the success of a business. After all, it makes sense for you to be where your customers are. The easier your customers are able to find you, the greater the opportunities for you to do business with them.

Likewise, when you position yourself online, you need to have a strategy around how you are going to reach out to your customers. Without a clear plan, you will not be able to get targeted traffic. Your search engine positioning is crucial to the success of your website. By popping up in results where your target audience expects you to, you are able to drive relevant traffic to your website and increase your conversions.

Does a search engine strategy make sense?

Often when a website is developed, the focus primarily remains on how the website is going to look and function. This is great for the user coming to your website, but it is forgotten that in more than 80% of cases it is the search engines that bring the user to the website. Therefore it is theoretically 4 times as important to focus on how search engines are going to interpret your website than the user coming to your website.

A search engine strategy gives you the following advantages:

• Action plan to achieve higher search engine positioning
• Identification of key drivers that need to be included on your website to attract your target market
• Derivation of relevant key-phrases that result in higher conversions
• Strategy to track your conversions and monitor visitor behavior
