What is SEO?

SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It is the process of getting traffic from the “free,” “organic,” “editorial” or “natural” search results on search engines.

The major search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo all have primary search results, where web pages and other content such as videos or local listings are shown and ranked based on what the search engine considers most relevant to users. It should not be confused with Search Engine Marketing (SEM) where you pay search engines to have your site or pages listed.

Both SEO and SEM are deemed as marketing with the aim in increasing your visibility in search engines. Net Solutions is able to assist in both SEO and SEM. But sometimes, you need to take a step back and evaluate your website before you focus on SEO and SEM activities.

What is a Website Assessment?

A Website assessment examines your website, prior to any SEO or SEM activities.

Why is this important? SEO or SEM will aim in increasing your visibility in search engines, but if you have a poorly constructed website, the increased traffic to your site might be harmful if they have a negative experience while on your site.

Is your site designed well?

Do your pages have a consistent format for navigation, headers, text, typography, and hyperlinks? Does your design help make the content more digestible?

Is your site responsive in common devices? There are all sorts of Tablets and Mobile Phones and many responsive sites fall short of displaying your content correctly.

Is your website easy to navigate? Does it make sense for a human to read? Does it pass the Jakob Nielsen usability test?

Is your Website working for you?

In a world where business transactions happen in seconds not minutes, it is vital that your website serves the purpose it was intended for. Businesses live and breathe (and die) based on their website´s ability to perform.

Standards and technologies change rapidly and a site you created more than a few years ago is likely to be out of date.
