Double your traffic and leads in a year

From high-powered financial companies to healthcare companies, to an asphalt company (over doubled their traffic and leads) – smart companies around the world are wielding SEO for their website.

They hire internal SEO teams – they hire agencies like ours, and sometimes they hire super unprofessional agencies as well who do jack-squat for their bottom line.

Don’t make a mistake and hire a cheap SEO provider – hire a truly professional team and get it done right.

This is one of our major strengths. We don’t just do SEO but are very capable on web design and development as well. We can handle minor edits as part of our SEO retainer, and are happy to it -as it is a competitive advantage, when compared with many SEO companies in New York who don’t handle these types of things.

We report monthly on progress with a clear and dynamic dashboard.

But Google Analytics is your best friend. The best way to see if your New York SEO agency is doing great work is to compare the last 3 months to the same time the previous year! We do this all the time for clients, and after 6-9 months of SEO, the results are sometimes mind-blowing.

SEO helps businesses by allowing them to attract more customers to their website and if it’s done right – attract them in a way that they also become customers. This is why we pair SEO with ‘Conversion Rate Optimization’ so that any site we’re doing SEO on also gets improvements in design and development that are intended to make it easy for people to become customers of your business.

You don’t want to just attract people to your site, you want them to take the next steps towards becoming a customer. Your website needs to be compelling and be set up for maximum conversions so that you can get the most out of our Chicago SEO services.

It will take anywhere from 1 month to 3 months to start seeing some shift, and likely 6-8 months to start seeing significant ROI from Search Engine Optimization work. That being said, if you don’t start seeing some shift in traffic (either month over month or year over year for seasonal businesses) then in most cases you should be very forward with your SEO provider and seek a clear explanation.

SEO is not hard. It does, however take time – it involves technical tweaks on your website, competitive analysis/content strategy, and building links from around the web.

So most people don’t have the time to get up to speed on all of the shifting trends, the technical aspects, and make sure their website is running perfectly for SEO like a finely tuned machine.

If you have an agency or team doing SEO + something else

When I say 1 to 3 months for some initial returns, or 6-8 months for significant ROI – I mean that much time concerted SEO effort, not SEO effort watered down with a redesign or an SEO + PPC agency trying to do both. Not that they can’t do that, but the time/effort/money spent would have to be double.

So my suggestion is to have a team totally dedicated to your SEO efforts, and if you want PPC done make sure that budget is entirely separate from your Search Engine Optimization work.

85% of people searching on Google are clicking on the organic search results, according to Search Engine Watch.

If savvy customers are skipping the paid ads – you may want to as well. It really depends on the industry. Paid ads have a little thing next to it that says ad, and are shown above and below the ‘organic’ search results.

Many businesses opt to do paid ads and search engine optimization.

1. You can de-index any types of content that have less than 100 words. This might be the #1 suggestion for most businesses that have not done any SEO. For WordPress websites you can use the Yoast SEO plugin for this.

2. You can find terms that are driving traffic to your competitors with a tool like Ahrefs, or SEMRush and create similar but more in-depth and quality content for the same terms. Consider the intent of the searcher and create epic content that will service that intent while at the same time selling them your products or services with a lead generation form or listing of products.

3. You can reach out to higher trafficked websites that people in your prime demographic are reading, and ask if you can write a blog post for them. Create a quality piece of valuable content and use your bio at the bottom of the post to create a compelling picture of the products or services you offer and link to your website. Earning links from high domain authority sites (determine this with a tool like Mozbar) is the #1 thing you can do to drive visibility of your site up.
