Therefore, our goal is to spice up your quality score, to form it warrant ranking within the eyes of Google.
4. Keyword Research + Keyword Gap Analysis
Keyword Research is split into two parts:
Keyword research for existing pages
Keywords gap analysis (for new pages)
We try this to avoid keyword cannibalization and to maximize the ranking potential of your existing content. From the prevailing Keywords Research, we will identify whether we want to update the content, send more back links, or both.
The Full Keyword Research Process:
Gather all the URLs of Your Website. Before creating any new content, we ensure that your current content can rank for your target keywords as well as possible. We need all the URLs with its user metrics, backlinks, page depth and other SEO metrics. This will help us determine how it stacks against your competition on a page level, to identify where we can improve to rank higher.
Find the Main Keywords and Secondary Keywords Now it's time to decide what the main keyword is for each page, it's usually a combination of the highest search volume, most valuable (cpc) and the most relevant to the page. The secondary keywords consists of keyword variations, related search terms and lsi/contextual terms. Except for the lsi/contextual terms - these secondary keywords belong in the same keywords cluster as the main keyword, and have the potential to rank on the same page. This means that we should prioritize them as secondary keywords and place them within the content strategically; this also means that we won't need to create separate content for these keywords later on.
List the Pages of Your Top Competitors We take the top 3 competitors on a 1:1 comparison e.g. if we're attempting to rank a blog post, then we compare it to a blog post. If it is a product page, then we compare it to a product page. This is to match the search intent. If Google has determined that based on the user signals that users are looking for product pages when searching a specific query, then that's what they will display. Before even considering onpage optimisation, we must first meet this criteria. If for example, your website and target page has better Domain Rating, URL rating, number of quality backlinks, data-driven onpage signals, no technical issues and a quality site structure, then the last main variable missing may be the "content type". We may have to create a similar content type to what is currently in the top 10 in order to get you there.
The Full Keyword Gap Analysis Process:
Gather Your Competitors and All of Their Keywords We gather all of your top competitors which could be as many as 5-10 competitors. We then take all of their ranking keywords, compare it against your ranking keywords and filter out any keywords irrelevant keywords.
Gather More Keywords from Additional Tools We want as comprehensive keywords list as possible to make sure we don't miss any opportunities. Your competitors are a great source but they may be missing some keywords. We use various tools to gather as many potential keywords as possible.
Cleaning the Keyword List There are going to be plenty of duplicates, typos, brand terms, irrelevant keywords – we go through thousands of keywords and clean the list of any unwanted keywords.
Assign Search Intent - Why is the user searching for this keyword? - Are they looking to make a purchase, investigate? - Where on the buyers journey does it belong? By assigning intent, we can figure out how far the keyword is on the sales funnel and help us prioritize the content creation for these keywords.
Grouping of Keywords
Keyword Research is part art and science. This is where it is part science. How do you determine which keywords can be optimized for the same page? Do you create unique content for each of them?
You should be ranking content for an umbrella of keywords, but what if you are wasting your time trying to rank keywords that are not optimum for a specific type of content or are not semantically related to each other, according to Google? The answer is hiding in plain sight; it's in the search results! We look at the top 10 search results and identify where keywords co-occur. From there, we can create groups that, in theory, can rank on the same page together. If two keywords do not rank together, then Google may require different pages instead. The surest way to meet the standards of Google and improve the rankings of your website.
Prioritizing Specific Keywords Finally, once we have a full list of keywords, cleaned, grouped and categorized by intent, we communicate it back to you. These keywords serves as the foundation for where to draw future content ideas from and so we ask for your feedback on them and how to prioritize them. Now that your keyword plan is ready, we can finally move on to the Onsite Optimization.
6. Onsite Optimization
Working off the back of the Website Quality Audit and Keyword Research, we run a full "on page" assessment on your key pages. We look at why they are not ranking and include our recommendations for the pages.
This could be page depth, internal links, contextualization, keyword cannibalization, user intent, user signals, page structure or content optimization. The onsite recommendations looks to fix any issues we discovered during the audit.
7. Content Optimization
This is the well-known form of on-page optimization. We understand exactly what the ranking factors are and even in order of importance.
For example, the Meta-Title, URL and H1 are the most important, in that order, and that h2-h6 headings matter, so does the keywords within the paragraphs and to an extent, even the outbound links, and html codes such as div tags matter.
Using a combination of single variable test results to find out what the best practices are, and using tools such as Page Optimizer Pro and Cora, we reverse engineer the top competitors on page data to find correlation data in the most important on page ranking factors for your keywords.
We compare the competitors overall page structure to ours – keyword density, word count, H1>H6s, where the keywords are exactly, contextual keywords density, outbound links and many other factors and try to align your content as well as we can with the top results. We also look at the page depth and the internal links linking back to the page.
In short, we ensure that your content is perfectly optimized in every sense, from structure to the smallest details, to guarantee the best results.
Technical SEO
We make sure that the technical aspects of your site will not be a hindrance to your rankings, but that it will boost your SEO efforts instead. Some of the issues we check for are:
Coverage issues
No-index issues
Canonicals set correctly
URL parameters
Crawl budget for large websites
Redirect chains
404 errors
Duplicate content
Pagination issues
Mobile usability
Any issues highlighted in the search console
User Signals
Probably one-third of the SEO formula is User Signals. Perfect onsite SEO and external links will rank your website, but it is the user signals that will decide whether you should be average, below or above the baseline according to your SEO metrics. We optimize User Signals for the following: Click Through Ratio (CTR) - By optimizing your Meta-Title tags and Meta-Descriptions. Depending on size of the website, we may A/B test them too. Increasing CTR will help your rankings and also bring you a better ROI, since it is more traffic that you can convert. Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) – By looking at your analytics and installing tools such as Hotjar, Hotspot etc. so that we can study how your users behave and to see what changes we can make to your landing pages in order to get them to convert.
User Engagement Metrics – We look at bounce rate, average duration per session, average pages per session and return rate. We also look at this across multiple devices such as desktop, iPad and mobile to see if your rankings will be badly affected by any of them. We compare these stats to your competitors (an estimate using 3rd-party data) and try to at least match if not beat them at it.
In summarized, we adapt your content to be exactly what users are looking for, which will increase your rankings and conversions exponentially.
8. External Links
Finally, probably the hardest and most laborious part of SEO. Link Building. There is no trick to link building, just put the hours in and adapt. The most scalable link building tactics are guest posting and resource link building. All of the link building is tailored to your website, its needs and its goals. The efficiency of our process allows us to get the most relevant and powerful placements for your website.
9. Adapt, Iterate, Improve
