Our Approach 

At  Opti-Hive, we start our process by establishing where your company is. This means looking into how your company is doing on SEO, like the amount of organic traffic you are already getting, which keywords your website is currently ranking for, and which are your most important keywords overall.

We will also verify if there are any potential issues with your website that keeps you from ranking, and how to solve them. This will help us establish a baseline.

Establishing a baseline is extremely important because it lets us know where we are and allows us to create realistic and achievable goals.

It also helps us discover any potential issues that might be preventing your company from achieving its goals. We can then solve these, to start on a solid foundation.

Once we establish your baseline and your needs, we will start developing your SEO strategy and supervise it to fruition.

 

Here is what our auditing process looks like:

  1. Laying the groundwork 

We begin the process by using various tools to crawl your website. These tools let us collect the information we need to learn how well your website is currently ranking.

We also check your analytics to discover trends and patterns about your traffic and use the free Google Webmasters diagnostic tools.

Once we have collected all the data we need, we start the audit process.

  1. Discovering your website’s accessibility 

By using the data we have collected, we will learn how well search engines are currently able to crawl and access your website. We look for potential issues in your website’s metadata, sitemaps, site architecture, navigation, and framework.

This lets us know two things: how well search engines can access your website and how well search engines can understand your website.

Finally, we check your site’s performance—how fast it loads on a computer or smartphone.

  1. Finding out your indexability 

Once we make sure search engines can access and understand your website, we need to make sure they can index it too.

“Indexing” means search engines include your website in their results when someone looks up relevant information.

This part is quite simple to do. We search various queries on Google and Bing and find out how many of the pages from your website are included in the results.

If any pages cannot be accessed, we will offer solutions to help you index them.

  1. On-page optimization 

Once we have ensured your website is indexed and SEO-friendly, we dig into the rest of the factors that determine your ranking.

We consider factors such as:

  • URLs
  • Content
  • Duplicate Content
  • Keyword Cannibalism
  • HTML markup
  • Interlinking

 

These factors will help us find even more ways to improve your ranking.

Keywords Researching: We will do keyword research within your market niche and find the best keywords which will drive maximum to your websites. Keyword research involves analysis of your existing website content, competitor analysis and local market analysis.

Note: Focus on long-tail keywords – The days of focusing on a single keyword for each page are long gone. We will include all the relevant terms and phrases related to your business. Long-tail keywords provide us potential visitors as well as the chances of ranking higher on Google search engine is more.

  1. Off-page optimization 

When it comes to ranking, what is not on your website is just as important as what is on it. Your website needs to have high-quality sites linking to it. These links, or backlinks, help determine your page authority.

Here, we review your website’s popularity compared to your competition, your backlinks, and their sources, how trustworthy your website is, as well as your Page Authority and Domain Authority. Based on this analysis, we act and start building links to your site through different tactics.

  1. Competition analysis 

Once we have reviewed everything there is to review about your website, we will also review your competitors’ websites and compare the results.

Finally, we determine the actions that are needed to increase your website’s ranking.

Issues 

In reviewing your website, we will learn about any issues it may have. These can include the following:

Missing Alt Tags and Broken Images 

Images must always be fully responsive since broken images are bad for SEO. However, since Google cannot see the images, it relies on alt tags to know what the image represents.

Alt tags help search engines understand what images are about and their relevance to the content.

Meta Descriptions Issues 

Meta descriptions help users decide whether they should click on your website when they find it on a search engine. If your meta descriptions are not attractive enough, users may look elsewhere. The fewer clicks your website gets, the lower the search engine will rank it.

By providing relevant meta descriptions, you ensure users will click on your website and help your website rank higher.

Low Word Count 

When it comes to SEO, there is no minimum word count; however, words help search engines understand the purpose of a page.

And it is not just about how many words are written either. Google prefers deep and valuable content, rather than fluff.

Your content should be long enough to convey the right information, without any unnecessary repetition or rephrasing.

Broken Internal and External Links 

Having broken links can be extremely damaging for your SEO. While a couple of broken links are usually not a big problem, the more your website contains, the less friendly it will appear to both users and search engines.

This is especially true of search engines because they do not typically crawl your whole website at one time. So, the more broken links you have, the more likely it is that a search engine will not find the content it is looking for.

Objectives & Solutions 

Based on the issues above, we can decide which path to take to fix any problems and help your website rank even higher.

Here are the proposed objectives and solutions for your website:

Improve meta descriptions. 

We need to ensure all pages have a proper meta description that is both informative and relevant to the rest of the page.

To achieve this, we need to keep meta descriptions at a limit of 155 characters to ensure as much information is conveyed without anything getting cropped out.

We should also improve meta descriptions to make them sound actionable by making sure they all have a proper CTA. Finally, we need to ensure the meta descriptions include the most important keyword, all while matching the rest of the content.

Fix image issues. 

Next, we need to ensure your website’s images have the proper tags and are fully functional.

All alt tags should describe images using less than 125 characters. They should also use relevant keywords when possible.

Increase word count. 

Not all pages need to contain a lot of content. However, we need to ensure all pages have enough content to fully inform users and search engines of their purpose.

To achieve this, we need to find pages with content issues and improve the text in them without using any unnecessary words. The text should be easy to read, easy to scan, and to the point.

Fix broken links. 

We need to find every broken link. These broken links will be tracked on a spreadsheet.

We will then find the relevant active links to replace each of the broken links, which will also help with interlinking.

Create an SEO campaign. 

The final and most crucial step of this process is the creation of an SEO campaign. Our SEO team will build a framework so you can increase your rankings and organic traffic. This framework will increase the number of new visitors and maintain regular visitors while giving you an edge over the competition.

Terms of Agreement 

We will audit your website YOUR WEBISTE and fix any SEO issues it may have. We will then develop a campaign and carry it on to fruition over six months. Once those six months have ended, we will repeat the process by completing another audit and developing another SEO campaign.

NOTE: The above cost of each package includes the number of keywords per month and specified number of city pages. The mentioned cost itself includes the design, development, optimization, and content for the city pages.
