How Localsearch SEO Services Can Help Your Business

Why You Need SEO for Your Website

68% of all clicks on Google are on the first page.

Getting on the first page of Google can be hard, and for a reason. Google ensures only the most relevant results are shown first, giving you a boost in organic search traffic more likely to convert.

Algorithms can change thousands of times a year.

In 2020, Google said they made 4,500 updates. This means while your website may rank on the first page, it may not tomorrow, especially if you’re not utilising SEO to keep up.

It can boost your other digital marketing.

Consumers need to see your brand at least 7 times to remember your business. SEO puts your business in more places to be seen more affordably, helping give your PPC advertising and social ads a boost.

Better user experience means more enquiries.

SEO isn’t known as a conversion marketing strategy. However, it does center around providing a good user experience, which helps increase your chances of converting users into enquiries.

How does SEO work?

The goal of SEO is to increase your website visibility on organic search engine results in relevant search queries for your business. As a result, this increases website visitors, boosting your business’s reputation and chance for growth. However, doing so can be hard.

Basic SEO activities required to help increase your SEO ranking include:

Bettering your domain authority to prove to search engines your website is secure and trustworthy.
Utilising link building activities to help search engines find and navigate your website.
Ensuring your website is mobile friendly and following Google's core ranking factors.
Optimising images, heading structure, site maps, code and more.
Implementing schema to help search engines identify elements of your website.
Publishing and updating informative content regularly.

And so much more. It’s normal to be overwhelmed, but that’s why we’re here to help you get started with a free quote and website audit.

How to Measure the Success of SEO

Tracking the effectiveness of SEO is like long-term investing — while sudden increases are good, you want gradual increases with as few setbacks as possible. Here are the top 3 metrics you want to see a gradual increase in over time:

Impressions, referring to the number of times Google search users have seen a link to your website.
Average Keyword Rankings, giving you the average position your keywords sit in on search results as a whole (the lower the score the better).
Organic Users, showcasing how many people are visiting and exploring your website.

If you’re not seeing growth in these metrics, especially in the last 12 months, it’s time to look for another SEO company in Australia, like Localsearch.

How much does SEO cost in Australia?

The cost of SEO depends on your type of business, target audience, current website and your business goals, but can range from $600 a month to $2,000+ a month.

When looking at SEO companies and packages, ensure they outline exactly what work they’ll be doing each month, as well as monthly reporting at the very least. You should also ask for SEO case studies and read reviews to ensure they can live up to the promises they make in their marketing.

How long does SEO take to work?

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is a long-term strategy, so it may take several months to start seeing results from your SEO campaign. What you want to be looking for in your SEO strategy is a steady increase in traffic and/or impressions overtime (some dips are normal), as well as increase in search rankings for important keywords for your business.

If you’ve been running an SEO campaign for over six months and are not seeing any movement in search engine visibility or organic traffic, it’s time to have a chat with your agency.

How much time should I spend on SEO a month?

The time you need to spend on optimising your website each month can vary from the work required on your website, if there are any search engine updates, your goals and the skill of the person performing the SEO. In the beginning, more work will be required to fix up content, technical errors, on-page and off-page factors and more, even requiring a full-time SEO specialist.

As time progresses, your SEO campaign can take a more proactive approach than reactive, allowing you to spend as little as half an hour to an hour a day checking your analytics, adding new content and checking for any errors or updates. This is why hiring SEO specialists, like Localsearch, can save you time and money, as we look after it all for you, without having to pay an hourly rate.

Is Google Ads more effective than SEO?

Google Ads and SEO do two very different things, with both having an important and necessary place in your marketing strategy. While Google Ads will give you almost instant results (if done right), SEO is more of a long-term strategy, both working together to support you at different stages of the customer cycle.

With a full-suite digital marketing service, like Localsearch, you can get the best possible results by having both your search engine marketing and optimisation looked after under one roof. This aligns your strategies to support one another to give your website traffic when you need it most.
