SEO Requires the Right People and the Right Tools

By Scott Litvack, SEO Services

When entering the growth phase of your digital marketing strategy, you should feel confident that your SEO partner is highly experienced and equipped with the right technology for the tough job of taking your enterprise level website to the top of the search results.  This combination is what will lead you to achieve a successful enterprise SEO campaign.

Managing a successful enterprise level SEO campaign requires the use of a number of different tools and technologies.  There are tools to check rankings, tools to review competitors, keyword tools, page analysis tools and of course web analytics tools like Google Analytics, Omniture and Coremetrics.    Yet, tools by themselves don’t make for a successful SEO campaign.  As your SEO partner, our strategists are managing your campaigns, and need to be able to review and integrate vast amounts of data and variables daily.  Google alludes to 200+ ranking signals that are part of their algorithm that determines how sites rank for particular keyword queries.  Although the list of ranking signals is a trade secret, we do know a significant number of factors from information that Google has revealed, from our own research and experience, and of course from extensive industry information.

Optimizing a large enterprise level website requires the ability to scale the SEO program to manage 1000s of pages and 1000s keywords.  SEO technology helps to manage this effectively and efficiently.   Whether your SEO campaign is for a new site or optimizing an existing site, you need access to top-of-the-line technology that offers:

  • Crawl technology that emulates how search engine crawlers interact with a website.
  • Analysis tools that analyze the competition, which keywords they are using, and what SEO techniques are allowing them to be successful in their efforts.
  • Technical site audit capabilities that allow you to prioritize the ranking signals that are preventing your site from performing at its best in organic search results.
  • Comprehensive, customizable SEO dashboards.
  • Integration with all the major web analytics platforms.
  • Real Time Reporting of rankings, traffic, conversion and other key metrics.
  • Social Media Monitoring to see the influence of Tweets and Facebook Likes on SEO results.

Using these tools without the right people will likely not lead to the desired outcome you wish to achieve.  Even the best SEO technology will only generate a lot of data that requires an experienced SEO partner to interpret and take the necessary actions to achieve SEO success.  As your SEO partner, we are:

  • Following a White Hat, Best Practices Approach to SEO.
  • Have extensive training and hands on experience in the space.
  • Have expertise in SEO, Link Building and Web Development.
  • Are certified in web analytics.
