What is SEO?

Search engine optimization is the process of increasing your company’s website rankings in search engine result pages (SERPs) to gain more qualified traffic to your website. You want to attract customers that are looking for your type of product or service. By optimizing your site to provide relevant information for these searches, you can gain access to more qualified leads.

Several key factors influence your SEO rankings:

Quality Content: High-quality, relevant content that answers users’ questions is essential. Content should be well-researched, engaging, and updated regularly.
Keywords: Using the right keywords that align with user search intent helps search engines understand your content and match it with relevant queries.
User Experience (UX): A well-designed, easy-to-navigate website with fast loading times and mobile optimization enhances user experience and improves rankings.
Backlinks: Earning quality backlinks from reputable websites signals to search engines that your site is trustworthy and authoritative.
On-Page Optimization: Proper use of meta tags, headers, and image alt texts improves your site’s visibility in search engines.

For example, if you sell clothing, you can improve your rankings by including a blog or video that discusses current fashion trends, incorporates relevant keywords, and links directly to your products. By providing relevant and timely content that aligns with these ranking factors, your site will be rewarded with higher placements on SERPs.

Local SEO

Local search engine optimization, or local SEO, is the process of optimizing your website and its content to reach a more local audience and increase foot traffic to your door (and traffic to your website). This involves optimizing for searches with local intent which include phrases like “restaurants near me” or “marketing agencies in Lafayette, LA.”

If your business has a brick-and-mortar location, optimizing for these types of searches is a great strategy since it connects you directly with customers in your area who are searching for your product or service.

Organic vs. Local SEO

Organic

  • Contains more general phrases like “how to make a pizza”.

  • Focuses on driving traffic to a website.

  • Remote or fully online businesses benefit more from organic SEO.

Local

  • Has a specific, localized intent such as “best pizza in Lafayette”.

  • Focuses on driving or foot traffic or phone calls to a physical location.

  • Businesses with physical locations benefit from both organic and local SEO.

Reputation Management

Online reputation management is crucial for maintaining a positive image online and ensuring that your business stands out in local searches. It involves actively monitoring and responding to reviews, addressing customer feedback, and managing your online presence across various platforms. Building and maintaining a positive reputation helps you gain trust with potential customers and boosts your local SEO efforts.

When you prioritize reputation management, you not only address negative reviews and concerns but also highlight positive customer experiences. This proactive approach can enhance your business’s credibility and attract more local customers who value reliability and good service. Ensuring that your online reviews and ratings are consistently positive helps you remain competitive in local search results and strengthens your overall local SEO strategy.

The event quickly had to convert to virtual for the public to access it, Firefly did an amazing job during the transition. We are thrilled with their dedication to their clients, the great teamwork they demonstrate and the willingness to work with us on our needs. Firefly is very positive note for our association during this uncertain 2020.
