OUR ORGANIC SEO PROCESS
SEO AUDITING
Before an organic SEO strategy can be formulated and put into action, we take the time to carry out thorough audits of your website to see where you currently stand. We carry out in-depth content, technical and competitor audits, and our findings form the basis and foundations of your bespoke organic SEO strategy long term.
The audits themselves have been refined over the years and are constantly evolving in line with changes to ranking algorithms to make sure your website is set up for success. Our initial organic SEO auditing processes allow us to identify and prioritise issues that need addressing, find opportunities and gaps, and set the stage for the success of the campaign.
COMPETITOR RESEARCH
The organic search results are constantly changing, both in their layout and in the level of competition. Understanding your main competitors is just as important as optimising your own website. Online competitors may also be different to who you perceive them to be. At the beginning of every organic SEO campaign, we carry out in-depth competitor analysis, reviewing everything from keyword targeting to backlink profiles.
From there, we can use the data to draw insights and inform your strategy by identifying gaps in the search results, opportunities where your competitors are falling short and the types of strategies they are using to secure top rankings. Knowledge is power, and the more you understand about your competitors, the better your organic SEO strategy will be and the better the results achieved.
KEYWORD RESEARCH
Effective, analytical and thorough keyword research constitutes the foundation of any successful organic SEO campaign. We carry out large-scale keyword research projects at the beginning of a campaign with The SEO Works, which identifies the right keywords for us to target across your website and monitor via our tracking tools.
Keyword research is tailored to your business’s unique goals and offerings. For example, whether you are a local business looking to generate traffic in a certain area of the UK or an international corporation looking to grow and generate traffic in multiple countries. While we carry out an initial keyword research project, this isn’t a one-time task. We constantly review targeted keywords throughout our organic SEO campaigns and adapt these based on results, competition, or industry trends.
BESPOKE STRATEGY
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to an organic SEO strategy. While we have a general roadmap and priorities, we offer bespoke strategies that are in line with your brand’s current standing, KPIs and the level of competition. We get to know your team, business, industry, audience, and objectives so that we can adapt our strategy accordingly and ensure it’s a recipe for success.
What’s more, our strategies are not left to become stagnant or outdated, they are consistently reviewed and adapted in line with factors like business changes or growth, ranking algorithms, industry trends, and more. Keeping our organic SEO strategies agile is what ensures long-term, consistent success.
CONTENT CREATION
The content your business offers on your site is arguably the most important aspect of SEO, particularly with Google’s increasing focus on helpful content and E-E-A-T. Our organic SEO company has a team of content marketing specialists who excel at all aspects of content marketing and creation.
Our teams craft content that not only targets a range of relevant keywords naturally to improve visibility but also engages and carries your audience along your user journey to increase conversions. Authoritative, informative and helpful content establishes your brand as a trusted resource in your industry, as well as attracting natural backlinks. We are able to help our clients create a range of content types including articles, long-form guides or resources, landing pages, infographics, and more to ensure your content caters to the search intent of your audience.
TECHNICAL SEO
Without a technically sound website, any on-page content or link acquisition carried out on your website can be done to no avail. Technical SEO may be carried out behind the scenes, but it is just as important to ensure that search engines can access, crawl and properly index your website.
Our technical SEO specialists review and optimise your website for a wide range of key factors including site speed, mobile experience, Core Web Vitals, crawlability, indexability, security, and more. We are experienced in helping businesses in a vast range of industries to improve the technical standing of their website. Whether you are a global company that requires hreflang implementation, a large e-commerce business struggling with duplicate URLs, or a brand-new site needing support to get your website indexed.
LINK ACQUISITION
Link acquisition is another key component of our organic SEO services, which involves strategically acquiring high-quality backlinks from authoritative and relevant websites. Link acquisition is important for long-term success in organic search. Crawlers use links as a vote of confidence for your site and use a website’s backlink profile to identify your authority in the industry and rank you accordingly.
Our link-building and digital PR teams have a strong focus on acquiring links from websites that are relevant to your industry and niche, as well as high-authority sites that will pass link equity your way. We strictly stick to white hat link-building tactics such as digital PR, brand mentions, guest posting and more, prioritising quality over quantity.
TRACKING AND REPORTING
When investing in organic SEO services, it’s crucial that your provider is transparent about the work being carried out, the results being achieved and the impact on your ROI. The SEO Works place a strong emphasis on tracking and reporting on metrics and KPIs that are relevant to your business and goals, so you are always aware of the impact our services are having.
We provide comprehensive monthly reports that detail the key work implemented and planned, organic traffic analysis, keyword visibility, and, most importantly, conversions achieved as a result of this. We can recommend conversions to track or work with your existing set-up, whether your focus is on increasing form enquiries, phone calls, website purchases, or any other metric. Our reports are tailored to your specific needs and preferences, so you get insights that matter to your business.
