SEO Reporting & Analysis
Search engine optimization is dynamic and visibility for relevant search phrases is a moving target. As such, it is necessary to continually monitor all organic search engine marketing efforts. SMP will make ongoing suggestions for improving site copy or source code to maintain or improve visibility for target search phases. SMP uses multiple data sources to report on performance, the most critical of which is a site’s Web Analytics. Understanding and making adjustments based on this real-world data can mean the difference between a website that thrives or fails.
Search Engine Marketing Public Relations (SEM PR)
SEM PR (aka Online PR or SEO PR) is a critical aspect of any successful search marketing strategy. SMP proactively works with in-house or agency PR professionals to optimize existing PR collateral for optimal search engine visibility. SEM PR campaign elements may include optimization and promotion of press releases, syndicated articles, FAQs and more
Directory Submission
Popular directories employ human editors to review site submissions, rather than search engine spiders and algorithms. SMP understands the submission process and ensures timely and accurate listings on all top tier directories (i.e. Open Directory and Yahoo!) as well as trade-related directories as part of a baseline site launch. Any directories with outdated or inaccurate listings will also be updated at launch.
Link Development
While search engines and directories generate a majority of traffic, creating inbound links is very important. Not only do qualified visitors click through from links on relevant industry sites, but search engines like Google evaluate possible results based on link popularity (links from relevant sites to your own are considered credible references). While link development is time consuming, it is a necessary aspect of site promotion that pays off big. SMP also provides training for in-house management.
