• SEO Orange County 3 Major Parts
• If your business and online presence is mired in
  squalor it may be time to boost your online SEO
  efforts. SEO Orange County or anywhere for that
  matter consists of three major elements that all
  are as equally important as the other. Often
  times individuals or businesses try to take on
  the task of promoting their business without
  professional help. Digital marketing is one of
  the most complex portions of your marketing plan
  and should include digital and SEO consultants.
  This article will touch on the three major parts
  of SEO and help you understand why they are
  important.
• Traditional SEO
• Although the subtitle says traditional keep in
  mind that all of these processes need to be kept
  up to date with current white hat best practices
  in accordance with guidelines from Google, Yahoo,
  and Bing search engines. White hat simply refers
  to practices that are acceptable from the major
  search engines. Avoid black hat SEO techniques
  like link farms and others that will in the long
  run do more harm than good. The following
  procedures could also be called the foundation of
  SEO efforts

• Website Development - great SEO starts from the
  ground up. In order to get truly great SEO your
  website should be developed with it in mind.
• Sitemap - add an XML sitemap to your website to
  provide directions for search engines.
• Three click rule - any page on your website
  should never be more than three clicks deep. This
  also helps SEO by avoiding possible deadlinks.
• Establish clear Pages - if your business has more
  than one service or product each one should have
  its own page. Providing multiple services or
  products on one page often leads to SEO
  confusion.
• Meta-tags - this is background information for
  search engines. It should be included for page
  titles, page descriptions and image or video
  files.
• Simple URLs - try not to overdo it with keywords
  in your URLs.

• Keywords - conduct proper research into short and
  long tail trending keywords in your industry and
  use them for the corresponding pages.
• Link Building - take your time and build only
  quality links that are relevant.
• Most of this advice lays a groundwork for one of
  the most important parts of SEO content. Without
  a great foundation finding great content can be
  difficult or impossible for search engines and
  users.
• Content Is Still King - Although the saying is
  decades old it still has relevance today. In fact
  with Googles most recent algorithm changes, they
  are focusing even more on quality versus
  quantity. They are rewarding authoritative
  websites with top ranking positions.
  Unfortunately Google has never offered a public
  definition of an authoritative website. From
  current top rankings some inferences can be made.
  These top ranked sites are generally well
  received by the general public, have quality and
  relevant links both inbound and outbound, and
  provide a wealth of information through quality
  content within their industry.

• One of the only ways that seems consistent with
  authoritative and quality top ranked websites is
  the amount of content, its relevance to the site
  and its quality. Providing content that is
  informative and authoritative will drive
  consumers to your site and eventually lead to
  better conversions. Finding an Orange County SEO
  company that can provide excellent content
  creation including articles, blogs, social media
  newsfeeds, videos and images will complete your
  SEO process.
• Reporting and Analysis
• The last part of the SEO process is evaluating
  the ability of the program to achieve results.
  With any SEO consultant that you hire this should
  be a foregone conclusion. Whether the company
  uses SEO reporting tools or whether it is
  provided in an in-house reporting method there
  should be real metrics provided for analysis. The
  most important part of developing an online
  presence and having an overall digital marketing
  plan is to increase sales, online conversions and
  increase traffic to your website or other online
  properties. If your Orange County SEO company is
  not providing these statistics it is time to find
  a new one.

• Understanding the SEO process is a business owner
  can be a complex endeavour but should be made
  plain to you during any hiring of SEO
  consultants. If you still do not understand the
  process it is time to ask more questions until
  you do or find another consultant that can.
