The internet has become the main marketplace for those seeking all types of products and services which makes SEO success more important by the day. Like the traditional marketplaces that came before it, the digital marketplace is constantly changing, and it is up to businesses to adjust their SEO strategies to keep up with the changes and their competitors. However, what makes the online marketplace much different from the pre- or non-internet marketplace is that the technology and the way businesses can and do advertise are changing at an incredible rate. The other major difference is that your business competes against more competitors as the bar to build a website and establish an online presence is lower than it has ever been. To find true success with SEO marketing, businesses have to devote more time and resources to not only run a successful, multi-faceted SEO campaign, but also exert continuous effort to keep up with the changing digital marketing place as well as their competitors. The Increasing Difficulty of SEO Implementing a successful SEO strategy becomes more difficult each day. One of the reasons being Google always adjusting and updating its algorithm with the purpose of providing its users with valuable, relevant content. Each time there is an algorithm update, certain SEO strategies that were once considered good strategies may need to be re-evaluated or changed. The other main reason making SEO success difficult is having many competitors online. In the earlier days of the internet, not many businesses invested the time and resources to build a website and online presence. Now almost every business has a website because...

As many businesses know, being found online takes more than just building a website. Your website must be properly optimized so that it will be crawled by search engines like Google and rank well in the search engine results pages (SERPs). To get your website properly optimized, you must implement a multi-faceted search engine optimization (SEO) strategy that includes content creation, title tags and meta descriptions, internal links, and maximizing site speed to name a few. With so many details that go into good SEO strategies, it is important to regularly keep track of your efforts and realize which strategies are working better than others. If one particular strategy is not working, it can have an impact on your rankings in the SERPs which will ultimately hurt your ROI. The best way to check the SEO performance of your website is to do an SEO audit. It is recommended to do an SEO audit of your website at least once per year to ensure your website is performing to meet your marketing goals. What is an SEO Audit? An SEO audit is an evaluation of the performance of your website in the SERPs. The audit should take several things into account such as website content, page titles and meta descriptions, H1 and H2 tags, internal links, and load speed. When these different areas are performing well, your website is more search engine friendly and likely to have better rankings. Why are SEO Audits Important? The SEO industry is constantly evolving as Google updates its ranking algorithm each year. This means that certain SEO strategies that worked one year may...

The purpose of good search engine optimization (SEO) is to improve the rankings and visibility of your website to attract more traffic through search. This can be done in so many ways as there is no shortage of SEO strategies that can help drive traffic to your website and improve your visibility in the search engine results pages (SERPs). However, not all SEO strategies are legit. There are some tactics out there that can help you at least temporarily achieve better visibility and more traffic by bending or even breaking Google’s rules and best practices. These illegitimate SEO practices are known as black hat SEO tactics. Black hat SEO strategies are designed purely to boost rankings and generate more search traffic while skirting the rules of Google. These tactics are considered to be unethical and while they may bring temporary success, it is only a matter of time before Google catches on and either penalizes or bans your website. A penalty or ban from Google will immediately ruin the rankings of your website and make it very difficult to recover. It is best to avoid black hat SEO strategies, but for those who are not well-versed in SEO, it may be difficult to determine which strategies fall under black hat SEO and which strategies are legitimate white hat SEO tactics. One way to avoid black hat SEO is to work with a trusted digital marketing agency like Proceed Innovative that engages in white hat SEO that follows the rules and best practices of Google. However, not all digital marketing agencies stick to strictly white hat tactics, making it important...

With so many people searching online for all types of businesses, from restaurants to auto mechanics, it is very important for businesses to invest in search engine optimization (SEO) to ensure that they can be found online. Shockingly, many businesses will invest in several digital platforms to promote their business and drive traffic, but SEO is not an area where most businesses choose to invest. A recent survey from Clutch found that only 44% of businesses invest in SEO, but more than 70 percent of businesses invest in digital marketing through social media (81%), website promotion (78%), and email marketing (69%). Every bit of digital content created by a business, including blogs, web pages, and social media posts, can benefit greatly from effective SEO. Search engines like Google rank every bit of digital content and if your content is not properly optimized, it will not rank very well. When businesses invest in SEO, they can greatly improve the performance and ROI of their social media marketing and website promotion. A solid SEO strategy is built upon quality SEO content writing. Search engines have gotten much better at identifying quality, user-focused content and it is this type of content that gets the highest rankings. As you form the SEO marketing plan for your company for 2019, you must emphasize the importance of content marketing and focus on creating quality content for your audience. Creating quality, user-focused content across all of your digital channels, including your website, blog, and social media profiles, will help you rank higher and drive more traffic for an improved ROI. The following are tips to help...
