Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Increasing your website’s search visibility by making it more discoverable and useful for humans, and more indexable and promotable for search engines.
With such a large quantity of digital journeys beginning with search, SEO is more important than ever for driving traffic, increasing online sales, and strengthening the visibility of your business or brand. “Just Google it” has, after all, become the answer to most of life’s questions!
At Trapeze Media, we work with copywriters, designers, and developers (ours or yours) on technical, on-page, off-page, and content SEO, basing our strategies on your broader digital marketing goals.
We’re always evolving our methods to stay ahead of algorithm updates and changing consumer behaviours, and write our research and reports to make technical language as simple and useful as possible.
My website isn’t ranking as well as I’d expect, and my competitors often rank higher than me.
We’re well-versed in guiding our clients through the technical intricacies, content strategies, and data-driven design choices which improve SEO.
We’ll audit your site and competitor websites and explain the strengths and weaknesses of both, writing reports and arranging calls to break down the complexities of SEO in real-world terms.
Notable ranking improvements typically become apparent around three months after the initial phase of SEO work. Then, we’ll start to continuously loop growing data from rising traffic back into our steadily-honed SEO strategy.
I can’t update my website myself, and my developer doesn’t specialise in SEO.
No individual or agency that “makes websites” is equal. Some are designers, others are developers. Some use templates, others build from scratch.
It’s not a client’s job to understand the web design/development process, so businesses often end up with sites that look snazzy but are held together with tape under the hood.
We believe SEO is inseparable from website creation, so we make sites with strong technical foundations and empower clients to update the simpler stuff — page descriptions, image names, product data, etc. — themselves.
I can update my website, and I write blogs regularly, but it never seems to help my SEO.
Every brand has a story, and as interesting as that story might be, people — your customers, readers, followers — need to be led to it. That’s SEO’s job.
There are ways to structure copy, graphics, and pages to maximise crawlability and indexability for Google, or accessibility and shareability for humans. We’ll help optimise your content.
These organic techniques can be further strengthened with social media, paid ad, and backlink campaigns. Backlinks — any site linking back to yours — are vital for SEO. Search engines perceive them as ‘votes of authority’ for your site.
