Your key to digital success

Google has evolved into a far more sophisticated search engine than it was in the nineties. To establish successful rankings for your webpages today, you need more than just plain text data and backlinks! Search engines now drive around 70% of all website traffic, so SEO is critical to the success of your business online (niche dependent of course!)

User first, search engines second

Google recommends that you focus on the user first, and search engines second. You need to ensure your website’s content gives real value to your website visitor and meets their goals, whilst adhering to Google’s ever-changing algorithms. This requires expert knowledge and skill – a proper SEO and content strategy is crucial.

But that’s just touching the surface.

Your website needs to be quick to load, easy for Search Engines to crawl, and indexable. If a search engine can’t crawl and index your website, people won’t be able to find it by organically searching on Google (no matter how high quality the content is).

Our SEO course will teach you everything you need to know about escalating your rankings on the main search engines, including Google, Bing and even YouTube.

What does our expert Steve have to say about SEO?

“SEO is a fascinating and ever changing discipline; however, it can be extremely confusing to those who have little or no experience in it. I really love helping people understand the theories that underpin how search engines work. I only advocate the use of white hat SEO techniques, that will help search engines choose to rank your website over others.

There are no short cuts to success with SEO; however, there are definitely more efficient ways of spending your time (which is why we offer SEO services to let you get back to doing what you’re best at!) It is vital that businesses focus on quality website content, and make their web experiences remarkable for their customers.”
