OVERVIEW

Professional SEO services include the process of optimising a website’s technical settings, content relevance, and link popularity in order to improve organic search rankings for its pages. This is known as SEO or search engine optimisation.

Search engines recommend organic SEO (search engine optimisation) tactics that raise page ranking and user search experience by offering important and relevant content. This includes, among other organic SEO best practices, the use of pertinent keywords in page titles, meta descriptions, headlines (H1), descriptive URLs with keywords instead of strings of numbers, and schema markup to specify the content of the Google page.

SERVICES

OUR PROCESS

1

Onboarding

Once your contract is signed with our professional SEO company, we will begin our onboarding process. Our onboarding process kicks off the entire SEO campaign. From here, we will brief you on your website's technical, on-page, and off-page SEO audit results. An SEO consultant will also create your own tailored reporting dashboard so you can have complete oversight of the performance of your SEO strategy. At this stage, we also ask you to fill out a couple of forms to help our internal teams put together an SEO strategy.

2

Strategy Call

After the onboarding stage, you will already have deliverables being completed against your account, and the clock will be ticking toward increased rankings. By now, our team will have spent a considerable amount of time familiarising themselves with your industry and will reach out to arrange a deep dive call to go through our proposed SEO strategy and gain feedback to allow us to tailor this strategy further to meet your SEO business goals. We expect all of our clients to commit to regular catch-ups on-going, ideally on a bi-weekly basis.

3

Niche Analysis

Now we can start cooking with gas! Armed with the knowledge gained from the onboarding process and our strategy call, our team of SEO professionals will conduct an in-depth niche analysis, covering every topic and sub-topic within your industry. From here, we will create a master database containing each page of your website and what is required to start moving the needle in an extremely granular way. This process takes anywhere from 20 to 500+ hours!

4

Link Building Strategy

Whilst your granular page-level strategy is being devised, our team of in-house digital PR experts will crawl through your Google Search Console account to find the biggest opportunities for external links. We look for pages where external and internal links will move the needle in a big way, getting you the best possible ROI for your budget. Our team has the ability to deliver scalable off-page SEO strategies from day 5!

5

Technical SEO Sprint

During the niche analysis and early link-building stages, our technical SEO team will be in the background working their magic. We run a benchmark on all of our clients' websites against a 100+ point checklist and action any anomalies we find. An SEO consultant will also do a deep dive within Google Search Console, looking for query gaps, indexing issues, broken average position lines and much, much more. This is a sprint that is repeated every single month.

6

SEO Scale Up

The previous steps in our process tend to take 1-3 months. By this point, you will begin to see movement in the SERPs (search engine results pages) and will have a good idea of how we work and operate. All of the systems we have put in place for your business to date are designed to scale up nicely. At this stage, it is a case of being aggressive with publishing new and optimising older pieces of content, building links, and keeping on top of the website's technical SEO.

Outreach & Linkbuilding

The proportion of websites linking to your site is frequently mentioned as one of, if not THE most crucial ranking factor. A1 SEO has built up a substantial network of trustworthy websites that we can reach out to for link building.

If your competitors are ranked highly by search engines, they will be building links on a large scale. However, making connections takes effort. As we are experts in link building, let A1 SEO handle your efforts.

Local SEO

You can obtain clients who are looking for services in your area by using local SEO. Two search types—local searches and location-based keywords—are the focus of local SEO.

A local website can easily be ranked. We at A1 SEO adhere to a procedure that has been improved over the past ten years. There are only simple tasks involved in this SEO black magic. When properly carried out, this process will improve your website's rankings on location-based search terms and in the local map pack.

On-Page SEO

The elements of a page are referred to as on-page SEO. Most of the time, you have direct control over these factors and you can change them right away.

By giving on-page SEO the attention it requires, Google can better determine the relevance of your pages and connect your content to popular search terms.

SEO Audits

At A1 SEO, we know everything about successful SEO audits.

We have evaluated hundreds of websites over the past five years and have determined the key, fixable sticking points in each and every one of them. We use a variety of tools to assess technical, on-page, and off-page (link building) components in order to assess the overall health of your website.

An audit from A1 SEO is the ideal place to start if you want to know where your website stands with Google and get practical advice on how to improve its search engine rankings.

What We Audit
Sitemap
Navigation & URL structure
Domain & Servers
Website Load Speed

SEO Consulting & Training

Although they lack experience, your staff has the capabilities to better your website's search performance.

Strategic guidance can help your in-house team accomplish a lot, but hiring an SEO expert is expensive.

A1 SEO is aware that many big businesses want to develop the skills of their workers and only hire outside firms for strategic planning. Some of the biggest in-house marketing teams in the world, including FMCG, B2B, and B2C teams, have been trained by us.

Technical SEO

A site is examined for search engines using technical SEO. Create a Google-friendly website. The foundation for scaling link building and content marketing is technical SEO (and on-page SEO).

Sites that provide more information to Google are ranked higher. It's like handing your professor a 10,000-word dissertation in Spanish who speaks English. Good content is useless if the examiner cannot read it.

Technical SEO is effective. The speed at which A1 SEO can begin working on your website will affect technical SEO.

With technical SEO, we have total control. Campaigns for link building produce immediate results. Google takes some time to evaluate your site again, but once the work is done, you should see an improvement in rankings.

White Label SEO

Some of the biggest digital marketing companies in the UK entrust their SEO strategies to A1 SEO.

Staffing, onboarding, and account maintenance for clients can be challenging, as we are aware.With the help of A1 SEO's short, mid, and long-term options, pressure is taken off you when it comes to new client wins.

Our white label SEO prioritises link development. The majority of agencies lack the time and knowledge to do it.

We offer technical SEO, on-page SEO, keyword research, and reporting for agencies without their own SEO team or those going through staff changes. If you can outsource a significant portion of your SEO strategy, you can accept more clients without making hasty hiring decisions. The final client or the agency can reach us at any time for phone calls or in-person meetings.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does SEO take to work?

This depends on many factors, including your company's industry and keyword competition. SEO takes time. SEO services should yield results in 6–12 months. Results are more traffic and increases in leads or conversions. Any business investing in an SEO package should expect to see progress within this timeframe, even if you haven't reached your business goals.

How does link building help SEO?

One strategy in search engine optimisation is building quality links, which sends a message to search engines like Google that your website is a valuable resource and domain authority. This means that sites with more backlinks will likely rank higher in search results.

What is on-page optimisation in SEO?

On-page optimisation, also known as on-page SEO, is the process of enhancing a website's search engine rankings through changes made on the page itself. Measures to enhance the meta description and title tags are examples of this.

What does a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) specialist do?

When a website is tested, analysed, and modified by an SEO specialist to be search engine friendly, it rises in the rankings on major search engines like Google and Bing.

In order to increase website traffic, lead volume, and brand awareness, an expert in SEO will optimise each page of a website to ensure they appear on relevant search engine results pages and create a positive user experience. In other words, SEO specialists are the same as any other marketers, whether they work in digital marketing services or traditional media, in that their ultimate goal is to increase revenue for the company.

SEO specialists can do wonders for a business by increasing its website's Google rankings through the use of thorough keyword research and SEO tools like Google Analytics. Some may also collaborate with other members of a digital marketing services team to create new initiatives or improve the management of social media accounts in an effort to increase user engagement and website traffic.

WHAT PROFESSIONAL SEO SERVICES DOES A1 SEO OFFER?

A1 SEO agency offers scalable SEO services, focusing on building links, content optimisation, technical SEO, local SEO, SEO consultancy and training.

Do you specialise in any particular sectors?

Simply put, no, we do not specialise in any sector. That being said, the majority of our business is in eCommerce SEO, where businesses are selling directly through a website. However, we have helped build dozens of high 6 and 7-figure lead generation businesses.

Why do I need A1 SEO when I can hire a specialist in-house?

At some point, it may be better to hire someone in-house, but in our experience, that only happens when your annual SEO costs are more than £70,000.

Using a third-party professional SEO agency has a lot of benefits, like having a team of experts who are up-to-date on digital marketing and the latest trends and developments in search technology instead of just one person trying to keep up with everything. Also, having one person means they might get called into meetings, can call in sick, and need at least a month off every year.

With A1 SEO, you get a group of people, not just one. You gain experience in many different fields, not just your own, and as we invest in training and development, you get better employees who bring more value to your business more often.

Not only do we take away the risk of hiring the wrong person, but our SEO services are likely to be much cheaper than hiring someone in-house, and most importantly, you can trust us as an SEO agency. Trust, Loyalty, and Collaboration (TLC) are the core of how we do business, and the success of our customers is always our top priority.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR SEO TO HAVE A CONTENT MARKETING STRATEGY?

Because people always have questions. They type them into search engines and hope to find what they are looking for. Only if the search engines can find the right answer can that happen. We help you come up with the best answers.

The best content strategies are those that focus on getting you seen in the searches that bring the best customers to your website. It's not about being popular or following the latest trend. Instead, it's about being relevant, easy to reach, and there when customers need you.

The good news is that we've been working on content strategies since long before they became trendy, so we know what it takes to get your website to rank.

Do you offer quick fixes and "black hat" SEO?

Never. When it comes to digital marketing, search engine optimisation, content creation, reputation management, and link building, we always use ethical and "white hat" methods. Quick fixes and fake boosts are just a waste of time, and our SEO consultancy agency doesn't do them.

You can be "number one" for a keyword in a few weeks, but if it is a very popular keyword, the only way to do this is to trick the search engines. Some companies think this is a good solution, but the search engines always figure it out and punish the site, resulting in a Google penalty or the like, so we don't use it. It's short-sighted and doesn't work.

HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE FOR YOUR SEO SERVICES?

Starting at £1,200+VAT per month, we offer a range of SEO services. We have a variety of packages that will work for most growing businesses, depending on their needs. Get a quote from us and a free review of your website by contacting us directly.

Who is A1 SEO owned by?

A1 SEO is an independent family-run professional SEO consultancy. We are a limited company, and our registration number is SC699214.

Why should I work with an SEO agency like A1 SEO instead of an agency that does everything?

There are a lot of SEO companies out there that say they offer "full service" and can do everything. From what we've seen, this is almost never the case. Most of the time, they will be good at some things but not so good at other things. They will say they can do all services, but they will outsource some of them without you knowing. We're different because we only offer SEO services that focus on rolling out SEO campaigns that increase your ranking in search results.

How long are your contracts?

Monthly rolling with a 6-week cancellation policy. We don't tie you into 12 or even 6-month contracts. We are that confident in our ability as a search engine optimisation agency to provide proven SEO packages and top-quality content marketing services.
