 What to Look for When Researching an SEO Firm

As a firm that specializes in B2B SEO services we understand the complex process of B2B decision making. Deciding that an SEO firm should be hired to improve the search presence of a business website is a step in the right direction, but it also means that there will be some work involved on the part of the business that is looking for a firm. There are so many firms to choose from and it will take some time to decide which one is the best fit. In some cases a business owner might be referred to a firm by a trusted colleague. Usually, that's a good place to start. But what if you don't have any connections or are brand new to the SEO game?

Making the Case for B2B Blogging

In case it wasn't immediately obvious, Brick Marketing is a huge proponent of B2B blogging. As a B2B business ourselves we go through the same challenges when it comes to content marketing as many of our B2B clients-what are we going to write about? When is the best time to write about certain topics? How will we make time to get all this content created? Anyone who has ever had to manage a B2B blog, create a white paper or an e-book can tell you that content creation easily turns into a full-time job, especially if you aren't a writer by trade.

Interview with SEO Expert Trond Lyngbø

Recently I had the chance to interview SEO expert Trond Lyngbø. Trond is a marketer, SEO strategist and partner at Metronet As in Oslo, Norway, and a popular columnist at Search Engine Land. Trond is also the author of two books, one on search engine optimization (SEO) and the other about social media marketing and communication. He also blogs at well-known websites like SEObook.com and MOZ.com. Check out his SEO website SEOnomics.com where he shares his knowledge and thoughts about SEO, and often gives away online business tips at no charge at all.

 Are Your Keywords "In Season?"

Have you noticed a slight dip in your organic traffic recently? I'm not talking Google algorithm update crisis dip; just that your organic visitors seem to be a little lower than usual. There could be a lot of factors at play here and one of them that should definitely be considered is seasonality. One way to tell if seasonality is at play is to compare the month (or months) when you noticed the downward trend to the same time period last year. If the two sets of data reflect a similar dip then seasonality is most likely your culprit.

 Don't Favor Social Over SEO

The best online marketing campaign is well rounded and includes a combination of search engine optimization, content marketing, and social media. For the best results, all 3 of these tactics should be integrated into one overall campaign. However, there are still businesses out there that for whatever reason (lack of resources, time, etc.) decide that they want to focus on just one. Since social media marketing is all the rage these days and SEO is supposedly "dead" (not true!) doesn't it make sense to focus on that? No way!

Google Makes Big SEO Changes to Webmaster Guidelines

One of the biggest complaints many site owners have with Google is that when they need real direction Google's go-to response is to refer to the Webmaster Guidelines, which can sometimes be rather vague. Every now and then Google makes updates to the Google Webmaster Guidelines in an attempt to better guide, teach, and explain SEO to site owners and recently the search giant made some major changes to the Link Scheme page (the kind of links that would trigger a Penguin or manual link penalty) that every site owner should be aware of immediately. These changes could dramatically influence the way you go about your link building from here on out.

 Every Business Decision Affects SEO

While SEO is an online marketing tactic, it's important that it doesn't operate in a silo. If SEO is kept separate from every other business decision that is made it won't be working at its full potential. This is why it's so important to have all team members on board with the SEO strategy and to understand how SEO can be affected by what's going on within the company. If you have decided to outsource SEO to an SEO company, think of them as a team member and keep them informed about any changes that might be going on. Business decisions can affect everything SEO related including the keywords that are targeted, what content is shared, and how social media will be executed.

 Don't Focus on B2B Keyword Search Volume

After industry and competitive research has been completed, the next step in a B2B SEO campaign is keyword research. B2B keyword research is necessary in order to understand how people are searching for the products or services that you provide. Best practice is to conduct keyword research for every page of the website, whether the website has 10 pages or 100. Obviously for larger B2B websites, the keyword research process can take some time. Once a spreadsheet has been created that displays keywords that are currently bringing traffic to a page along with new keyword research that includes search volume, it will be delivered to the B2B SEO client for approval.

Don't Let Broken Links Affect Site SEO Quality

Broken links can hurt from an SEO perspective because one of the factors that the search engines take into account is the usability of a website. If a search engine spider visits your site and comes to lots of "dead ends", or broken links, it can cause problems. First, it means that the site isn't properly being crawled or indexed. The search spiders go from link to link on your site, determining which pages are relevant to which keyword searches. A broken link is like a stop sign that halts the progress of the search engine spider.

Why Pay Per Link SEO is No Good

If you're in the market for an SEO provider you'll find that there are plenty of options to choose from. You could hire an in house professional or opt to outsource the work. Outsourcing is typically the way to go for budget purposes since an in house professional can be pricey. Once you've decided to outsource, what next? Spend some time doing some research to find the best option for your business. SEO services vary greatly. Full service SEO firms will do everything from keyword research to on site optimization to making technical SEO recommendations to creating content to operating social media to traditional link building and more. However, this kind of service is also more expensive. There are cheaper alternatives that exist like link building only services, some of which work on a pay per link basis.
