MARKET ANALYSIS, KEYWORD/PHRASE CONSULTATION

We look at 3 to 5 of your competitors' websites to help adjust your seo strategy in order to increase the uniqueness and effectiveness of them within your industry (emulating in part what we find at competitor sites). This process includes content suggestions (keywords/phrases) for your site.


META DATA ANALYSIS

We ensure that meta-data is written specifically for the page and that the keywords are appropriate for the density of keywords in content on each page. We'll also revise meta-data clearly missing i.e. h1, h2, h3, TITLE and ALT tags and a full set of revisit, copyright, etc.


HTML, CSS VALIDATION

Using World Wide Web consortium standards, we will analyze your web site for errors and will provide the corrective action to fix poor coding on the site relating to SEO. Depending on your site, additional quoting may be necessary.
