SEO Hereford

SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is crucial to any business be it online or bricks-and-mortar and regardless of whether it's located in Hereford, a neighbouring vicinity or beyond. If you're not visible on Google, Bing and Yahoo! then your company simply can't compete in today's digital economy. The first port of call for any potential buyer looking for any product or service is a search engine query and if your presence is not optimised you'll be missing out on enquiries and potential future customers. Promote Agency can help with your organic rankings both nationally and locally. We have a vast array of technical knowledge and can recommend the best approach to help give your rankings a boost and get you onto Page 1 of the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages)

Localised SEO for Hereford

If you want to target your product or service by locality, for example in Hereford or further afield such as Herefordshire or even West Midlands Promote will help you focus your online marketing efforts into local SEO with the aim of getting your business ranking in what is affectionately known as the "Map Pack". It is crucial to target the correct keyword phrases that buying traffic, not browsers, are searching for; why? well simply put rankings mean nothing without conversion. The correct way to go about any SEO starts with undertaking keyword research and not guessing what people may type in. At Promote we use a range of tools including Google's own Keyword Planner Tool to calculate keyword efficiency - the number of searches as a percentage of the total amount of competing (or indexed) web pages. We will then optimise your on-page HTML mark-up to ensure it makes sense semantically and clearly describes what it is you do.

SEO Tips for Local Search

The truth is local SEO is very straightforward to implement and your competitors are almost certainly not doing it correctly. With this in mind here's a some simple tips for any Hereford based business:
