What is an SEO services UK provider?

Put simply, an SEO services provider is a professional online marketing company that specialises in search-engine optimisation as part of its search engine marketing offerings.

What is Search Engine Marketing (SEM)?

Search Engine Marketing is a focused program in which the likes of Google, Yahoo & Bing are used to drive high quality traffic to your website. By arranging to list links to a domain on sites which enjoy authority with the search engines, an SEM campaign results in improved ranking for the keywords related to the target site.

What is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)?

Search Engine Optimisation is a set of techniques to get your website to feature high in the natural listings of a search engine - achieved by making your website as search engine 'friendly' as possible. SEO services begin with a detailed on-site analysis of your website- focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of the structure and layout of the code, and the position and frequency of the keywords. Perhaps the most fundamental principles in onsite SEO is ensuring correct keyword placement and density, but there are a significant number of actions that need to be applied in order to successfully market through natural search.

How long before my website ranks in the search engines?

That depends. For brand new websites, even with a dedicated SEO services provider, search engines can take several months before they begin to rank them for their relevant keywords. But in most cases, correct search engine submission and a solid link building campaign can reduce that time period dramatically. Being featured on the search engines is just the first step, but that is very different to being ranked highly for your target keywords. The time needed to reach the first page, or even first position, for a keyword depends entirely on the keyword. For something obscure with little competition (say, second-hand Ford Focus Clapham), decent SEO services UK could achieve that for you in as little as a week or two, whereas something major with huge competition (e.g. 'cars') would take years, even with a multi-million pound budget.

Can I pay the search engines to get my site to the top?

Yes and no. You can pay search engines to list paid adverts - usually on a cost per click basis. You request an ad and link to your site to be shown whenever someone searches for a search term, and if the user clicks on the ad to visit your website, the search engine charges you. Costs per click start very cheap for unpopular terms,(you could pay as little as £0.01), but for the very lucrative terms costs per click can become £10, £20 even £30 per visitor - and there's no guarantee you would make a sale.

For those who take their search engine marketing seriously, the best way forward is SEO, or natural search. By having your website appear at the top of the search engines naturally, users will click on your links and visit you site and you do not have to pay Google or its rivals a penny. But you cannot just buy your way into these kind of positions. If there is any competition at all, you would need to bring in a profession SEO services provider who can take your site and promote it into those top spots. Although it's not as black and white as pay-per-click marketing, and although it can take a few months before seeing a return on your investment, SEO is widely regarded as the more cost efficient of the two methods.

How can SEOmasters get my site to the top of all the search engines?

The top of the search engines, for most business areas, is a highly competitive battle-ground. The top spots will all be occupied by companies that employ SEO services professionals to get them there and keep them there. The more lucrative the traffic, the more fiercely it is fought over and the more work it therefore takes to achieve valuable results. No one can actually guarantee a search-engine position as the ranking decisions are made by the search-engines themselves and subject to change, but the principles of SEO are founded on what search engines state they are looking for. These principles guide the strategic use of keywords, the courting of valuable links, submission to directories, blog and forum entries and the multitude of other proven techniques. Although such methods are well-established, they must constantly be reviewed in-line with the real results they deliver to keep up with the ever-refining search engine algorithms.

Do I need a SEO services provider? Why can't I run my own search engine marketing campaign?

You can! Anyone can buy a book about search engine optimisation and (with a little bit of technical knowledge) improve their site's chances in the search engines. However, the use of a professional SEO services company has many obvious benefits:

Skill and Experience: Although a good book can explain the principles of SEO, there is no substitute for experience in a field that is constantly changing and evolving. Many techniques and methods that would be suggested in a book published even last year may now be obsolete, or may even be detrimental to your site.

Time and Resources: SEO, especially for those without the systems in place, can be an extremely labour-intensive job. The best campaigns are being worked on everyday and search engine marketing companies are simply better positioned to carry out the regular work. A valuable link may take 20-30 hours for a non-professional to source, where as a company that has already worked hard to find suitable contacts within an industry can submit a link in as little as 20 minutes.

Avoiding the minefield: Mistakes can cost you dearly. If you accidentally over-optimise your site, you may end up being regarded as spam and dropped off the search engines. You must follow the search-engine guidelines, known as 'white hat' techiques. A black-listing can take months to undo and any progress you may have made will effectively be lost.
