Search Engine Optimisation

Are you missing out on web traffic? Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN.

We offer SEO consultancy and have a track record of improving our customers' search rankings. Contact us for a FREE review of your site or read on for more information and case studies.

There are many factors that affect a site's ranking including:

  • the design, structure, layout, usability and accessibility of the site
  • the underlying code - does your website pass the W3C validation check?
  • implementation of technologies such as Flash, JavaScript, WordPress & AJAX
  • keyword rich, relevant page titles, headings, content, links and image tags
  • domain name, the age of the domain name & the length of registration
  • the location of your web server and other sites hosted on the server
  • the URLs you choose for your pages
  • the number, quality and relevance of links from external sites and the rate at which external links are acquired
  • duplicate meta tags, duplicate content & 'keyword stuffing'
  • the search engines and directories to which a site is submitted
  • the presence and format of an XML sitemap
  • the use of social bookmarking tools such as StumbleUpon, Digg and Twitter
  • how often a site is updated and maintained
  • whether you're using news feeds, blogs and 'link bait'
  • the size of your market and the number & quality of competitors
  • prevention of 'black hat' SEO attacks from competitor sites.
