A Search Engine Positioning Strategy For Business Growth

Making sure your ideal customers find you online

The right website or search engine positioning strategy will put your business in front of the right people at the right time. This will generate qualified business enquiries and help your organisation grow.

You Need A Search Engine Positioning Strategy

You want people, or more accurately potential customers, to find your website in Google™. Also, you're probably aware that SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is the term used to describe the work that's going to make that happen.

The chances are you're probably reading this page because you were actively looking for an organisation to help you develop a search engine positioning strategy and that means you're already streets ahead of most of your competitors. So what does creating this strategy involve?

At its heart, a search engine positioning strategy involves developing an understanding of your potential customers and the day to day challenges they face, so you can make sure they find you when looking for solutions. It's a simple concept but it requires a highly strategic approach, and it looks like this.

  • Establish what your ideal customers are typing into Google™
  • Find your competitors, the organisations currently being found when your potential customers search
  • Figure out why your competitors are succeeding
  • Decide on a course of action that will promote your company's web pages to the top
  • Review, revise and repeat

Each of the items in the list above requires a significant effort and the fourth item, deciding on a course of action, requires the most. Getting the course of action right is the most challenging and it's the reason many SEO projects fail. Our process significantly reduces the likelihood of your search engine positioning strategy failing, and here's why.

Before we start a paid engagement with a new customer we invest some of our time in a Discovery Session. This is a three to four-hour session face to face or over Zoom where we work together with our potential clients to review their current position, their market, what they want to achieve and, importantly, a suitable budget.

This means everybody understands the work required to effect positive change before any commercial work starts. By using this approach we create a search engine positioning strategy that's guaranteed to make a positive impact. Alternatively, we establish that the battle in which the client was about to engage was going to be too challenging, and we look for alternatives. Importantly, we avoid wasted time, effort and valuable resources.

Search Engine Success By Design

It's frustrating when you see your competitors appearing above you in Google™ search results. The thing is, websites rarely appear at the top of the search engine results pages by accident. More often than not the rankings are secured because of a strategic and concerted effort to understand the needs of potential customers and their search habits.

This episode of our podcast, where we spoke with Marcus Sheridan the author of the excellent book They Ask, You Answer, goes into more detail about understanding the needs of your customer. It's well worth giving it a listen.
