SEO - Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a digital marketing strategy focused on enhancing a website's visibility in search engine results. The goal is to improve organic (non-paid) traffic by optimizing various elements, including content, meta tags, and site structure, to align with search engine algorithms. Keyword research is a fundamental aspect of SEO, involving the identification of relevant words and phrases users might use when searching for products, services, or information related to a particular business. By strategically incorporating these keywords into website content, meta tags, and other elements, businesses can increase the likelihood of their pages appearing in search results, ultimately driving targeted traffic to their site. Effective keyword research is crucial for understanding user intent and tailoring content to match the queries that potential customers are making on search engines. We will use AHREF’s reports to monitor SEO results.
Paid Search Ads (Google & Bing)
Google Ads and Bing Ads are powerful online advertising platforms that allow businesses to
display their ads to users searching for relevant products or services. Google Ads is the
advertising system by Google, appearing on the Google search engine and its partner sites, while
Bing Ads serves ads on the Bing search engine and its network.
Google Ads and Bing Ads operate on a pay-per-click (PPC) model, where advertisers only pay
when users click on their ads. These platforms offer sophisticated targeting options, enabling
advertisers to reach specific demographics, locations, and user interests. Advertisers bid on
keywords, and the ad placement is determined by the bid amount and ad quality.
Monthly reporting is a crucial aspect of managing PPC campaigns effectively. It involves
providing detailed insights into the performance of the advertising campaigns over a month. Key
metrics typically included in these reports are click-through rate (CTR), conversion rate, quality
score, keyword performance, and ad positioning. These reports help advertisers assess the
effectiveness of their campaigns, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions
to optimize future strategies. Regular reporting ensures transparency and accountability, allowing
advertisers to refine their approach for better results. We will use a combination of Google
Analytics & Agency Analytics to report monthly results.

customers searching for products or services in a specific location.
XML Sitemap Submissions:
XML sitemap submissions and website indexing are essential aspects of search engine
optimization (SEO) that help search engines like Google and Bing understand and crawl your
website efficiently. Here's a brief overview of the process using Google Search Console and Bing
Webmaster Tools:
Google Search Console:
Generate XML Sitemap: Create an XML sitemap for your website. This is a file that lists all the
URLs on your site, providing information about each page's content and last modification date.
Submit Sitemap to Google Search Console: Log in to Google Search Console, select your
property (website), and navigate to the "Sitemaps" section. Enter the URL of your XML sitemap
and submit it. Google will then use this sitemap to understand the structure of your website and
crawl it more efficiently.
Bing Webmaster Tools:
Generate XML Sitemap: Similarly, generate an XML sitemap for your website.
Submit Sitemap to Bing Webmaster Tools: Log in to Bing Webmaster Tools, select your website,
and go to the "Sitemaps" section. Enter the URL of your XML sitemap and submit it. Bing will
use this information to index your website more effectively.
Website Indexing:
Google Search Console:
Fetch as Google: In Google Search Console, you can use the "Fetch as Google" tool to request
that Googlebot crawls and indexes specific pages of your website. This is useful for ensuring that
important pages are indexed promptly.
Index Coverage Report: Google Search Console provides an Index Coverage report that shows
the indexing status of your website. It highlights any issues preventing certain pages from being
indexed.
Bing Webmaster Tools:
URL Submission: Bing Webmaster Tools allows you to submit individual URLs for crawling.
You can use this feature to request Bing to crawl and index specific pages.
Crawl Control: Bing Webmaster Tools provides a feature called "Crawl Control" that allows you
to set the crawl rate for your website, influencing how quickly Bingbot crawls your site.
In summary, submitting XML sitemaps help search engines understand your website's structure,
while tools like Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools provide additional features to
request crawling, monitor indexing status, and address any issues that may affect your website's
visibility in search engine results. Regularly monitoring these tools and maintaining a healthy
sitemap can improve your site's performance in search engine rankings.
Google Analytics & Google Tag Manager
Google Analytics:

essential metrics to understand how users interact with a website.

location.

Google Tag Manager (GTM):
Purpose: Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that simplifies the process of adding

code that collect data and send it to third-party tools, such as Google Analytics.

analytics scripts, without requiring direct code edits.

and users can customize based on specific needs.
Debugging Tools: Includes debugging and preview features to test and ensure tags are firing
correctly before publishing changes.
Together, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager work synergistically. GTM simplifies the
process of implementing and managing tags on a website, while Google Analytics uses these
tags to collect and analyze data, providing valuable insights into website performance and user
behavior.
