A Recap Of The Results We Achieved For This Client

The Organic Managed SEO Process

We start this process by setting up tracking and campaign reporting for the keywords. The analytics provided are handled by certified advanced analytics engineers, resulting in high-level analysis, funnel visualization audience insights and more. Afterward, we perform a technical audit to check the site’s health and any errors, together with an anchor text and semantic audit to plan out the most effective link-building strategy.

To further refine the process and yield the best results possible, we analyze top-ranking competitors as well, for insights on the keywords, anchor texts, semantic phrases, social media etc.

After we gather up all the data, both site-level and page-level optimization begin. We pair this with content creation, authority press releases, high traffic guests posts, niche link placements, tiered link stacks, and index links to ensure Google bots will crawl our clients’ site. This process also includes optimizing the brands’ social profiles and creating the necessary social media accounts for better SEO impact.
