OVERVIEW

SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the practice of improving a website’s technical setup, content relevancy, and link popularity to improve its search engine rankings.

Search engines favour SEO tactics that provide relevant content to improve user search experience. This involves, among other things, employing relevant keywords in titles, meta descriptions, and headings (H1), descriptive URLs with keywords rather than strings of numbers, and schema markup to specify the page’s content.

On-Page SEO

The components of a page are referred to as on-page SEO. In most situations, you have direct control over these aspects and may change them at any time. Giving on-page SEO the attention it deserves helps Google assign relevance to your pages and correlates your content with keywords that visitors search for on Google.

A1 SEO Portsmouth knows SEO Audits to a tee. We have evaluated hundreds of websites over the last five years and discovered the primary actionable sticking spots in each and every one of them.

We use a variety of technologies to assess the overall status of your website's technical, on-page, and off-page (link building) features.

SEO Consulting & Training

Your team has the ability to increase the search performance of your website, but they lack expertise. With strategic leadership, your in-house staff may accomplish a lot, yet hiring an SEO professional is costly.

A1 SEO Portsmouth understands that many huge corporations desire to develop the abilities of their personnel and solely hire outside businesses for strategic planning. Some of the world's largest in-house marketing teams, including FMCG, B2B, and B2C teams, have been educated by us.

Technical SEO

Technical SEO is the process of optimising a website for search engines. It is important to create a Google-friendly website. The cornerstone for scaling link building and content marketing is technical SEO (including on-page SEO).

Sites that provide more relevant and useful information about themselves to Google rank better. It's the equivalent of assigning a 10,000-word Spanish dissertation to your English-speaking professor. Good material is meaningless unless the examiner can read it.

Effective technical SEO is determined by how fast A1 SEO Portsmouth can begin working on your website.

We have complete control over technical SEO. Campaigns for link building produce instant effects. Google takes time to review the quality of your site, but you should see a rise in ranks after the job is completed.

White Label SEO

A1 SEO Portsmouth manages SEO strategies for some of the UK's top digital marketing agencies. We understand that client hiring, onboarding, and account maintenance may be challenging. A1 SEO Portsmouth's short, medium, and long-term choices relieve new client strain.

Our white label SEO services are focused on link building. Most agencies lack the necessary time and experience. For agencies without their own SEO team or those experiencing personnel changes, we offer technical SEO, on-page SEO, keyword research, and reporting.

If you can outsource a big portion of your SEO strategy, you can take on additional clients without having to rush to employ. We are always accessible for phone conversations and face-to-face meetings with the final client or agency.

OUR PROCESS

1

Onboarding

Once your contract is signed, we start our onboarding process. We begin by conducting technical, on-page, and off-page audits of your website. From there, we send a customised reporting dashboard so you can have total control over the effectiveness of your SEO plan. At this point, we'll send several forms that are used by our internal teams in developing a plan.

2

Strategy Call

Following the onboarding stage, you will already have deliverables assigned to your account, and the clock starts ticking toward higher rankings. Our team spends a significant amount of time familiarising themselves with your industry. Once we're confident, we'll arrange a call to go over our recommended plan and get your input to achieve your SEO goals better. We recommend committing to ongoing regular catch-ups with us, ideally bi-weekly.

3

Niche Analysis

Now we're cooking with gas! With the information gathered from your onboarding and strategy call, our team of SEO professionals undertake an in-depth niche analysis of your industry. From there, we'll build a master database with each page of your website and everything else needed to start pushing the needle in a very specific way. This procedure might take anywhere between 20 and 500 hours!

4

Link Building Strategy

While your granular page-level approach is being developed, our in-house digital PR professionals crawl your Google Search Console account to identify the best external link chances. We search for pages where links will make a significant difference, giving you the best ROI for your money. Our team can create scalable off-page SEO methods as early as day 5!

5

Technical SEO Sprint

Our technical SEO staff will be working in the background during the niche analysis and early link development stages. We review all of your clients' websites through a 100-point checklist and take action on any irregularities we notice. We also do a thorough examination of Google Search Console, checking for query gaps, indexing difficulties, broken average position lines, and much, much more. This is a sprint that takes place every month.

6

SEO Scale Up

The previous phases in our procedure typically take 1-3 months. By this time, you should be seeing movement in the SERPs and have a strong understanding of how we work and operate. All of the systems we've put in place for your company so far are built to scale well. At this point, it is necessary to be aggressive in terms of publishing new and optimizing previous content, establishing links, and staying on top of the website's technical SEO.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does SEO take to work?

This is dependent on a variety of factors, including your company's industry and keyword competitiveness for the first page. SEO requires time and should generally provide returns within 6-12 months. The end result is more traffic and leads or conversions.

Any company investing in Portsmouth SEO services can expect to see results within this timeframe, even if they haven't met their target.

How does link building help SEO?

Link building is one SEO approach that tells search engines like Google that your website is an authoritative resource. This means that sites with more high-quality internal links and backlinks are likely to rank higher.

Our SEO agency, Portsmouth has established a reputable and vast network of businesses to create authoritative links.

What is on-page optimisation in SEO?

On-page optimisation, commonly referred to as on-page SEO, is the practice of improving a website's search engine rankings by making modifications to the page itself.

Part of this SEO work is enhancements to the meta description, meta titles, and for image alt tags. Building high-quality links also helps search engines understand your website's authority.

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

When a business website is inspected, analysed, and updated to be search engine friendly by an SEO professional, it increases in the ranks on major search engines such as Google and Bing.

An SEO specialist optimises each page of a website to ensure appropriate search results and a great user experience in order to increase traffic, lead volume, and brand exposure. In other words, an SEO Specialist, like any other marketer, works to boost income for the business, whether they operate in digital or conventional media.

An SEO Specialist works wonders for a company by raising its website's Google ranks using keyword research and SEO tools like Google Analytics. Some specialists may also work with other members of a marketing team to develop new projects or enhance social media account management in order to increase user engagement and website traffic.

What services does A1 SEO Portsmouth Offer?

A1 SEO Portsmouth focuses on link development, content optimisation, technical SEO, local SEO, SEO consultancy, and SEO training.

Do you specialise in any particular sectors?

Simply put, we do not specialise in any sector. However, the majority of our work is in eCommerce SEO, where businesses sell directly through a website. Our SEO agency has assisted in developing dozens of high 6- and 7-figure lead-generating businesses.

Where is A1 SEO Portsmouth based?

Our Portsmouth SEO agency has its main office in Portsmouth is House 1, 2 Hampshire Terrace, Southsea, Portsmouth PO1 2QF.

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

It may be wiser to recruit someone in-house at some time, but in our experience, it's only necessary when your yearly SEO expenditures exceed £70,000.

Using a third-party agency provides several advantages, such as having a team of professionals who are up to speed on digital marketing and the newest trends and advances in search technology. Having a single in-house SEO agency means you'll have to account for leave and sick days or meetings which may render them unavailable at crucial times.

A1 SEO Portsmouth provides a team of experts, not just one, so you get access to expertise in a variety of disciplines, not just your own. And since we invest in training and development, you get better personnel that add more value to your company more frequently.

We not only eliminate the risk of employing the incorrect person, but we are also considerably less expensive than hiring someone in-house, and, most importantly, you can trust us as an agency.

Trust, Loyalty, and Collaboration (TLC) are at the heart of how we conduct business at our SEO agency in Portsmouth, and our client's success is always our first concern.

Why is it so important for SEO to have a content strategy?

People are continually asking questions. They enter them into search engines in the hope of finding what they are looking for. This only happens if search engines can locate the correct answer. We assist by helping you create content for landing pages that improve your brand visibility and provide the finest replies.

The most effective content strategies are ones that focus on getting you found in the searches by consumers that bring business to your website.

Effective content writing focuses on getting your business found by your target audience. Incorporating these tactics with your digital marketing strategy, you'll start to see your organic traffic and search rankings grow.

Internet marketing is not about being popular or keeping up with the newest fashion. Instead, it's about being relevant, accessible, and available when consumers need you.

The good news is that we've been working on content strategies long before they were fashionable, so we know what it takes to get your website ranked. Each SEO project is unique, but the methodology to rank better in search results for your local area is the same. As a well-established Portsmouth SEO agency, we're proud to deliver our digital marketing services that get excellent results.

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

Never. Our SEO consultants only employ ethical and "white hat" tactics in digital marketing, search engine optimization, content development, reputation management, and link building. Quick fixes or false boosters are a waste of time.

You may get "number one" for a term in a matter of weeks, but if it is a highly competitive keyword, the only way to do this quickly is to trick the search engines. Some businesses believe this is a smart solution, but Search Engines always catch on and eventually penalise the site. Therefore, we don't do it.

White hat SEO means implementing tactics that are in line with search engine algorithms. When we conduct our free SEO audit, we learn what needs to be done to optimise your website further. As part of our SEO services, this includes improving your site structure, optimising web design and using an effective SEO strategy that helps increase brand awareness and positioning on search engine results pages.

How much do you charge for your services?

Starting at £1,200+VAT per month, we offer a range of SEO services that incorporate elements of web design, site health evaluation, site speed and local search. We have a variety of packages that are suitable for established or growing businesses.

With a proven track record of successful local campaigns, we can help increase your brand awareness in Portsmouth, Hampshire. Get a quote and a free review of your website by contacting us directly.

Who is A1 SEO Portsmouth owned by?

A1 SEO Portsmouth is an independent family-run business. Our Portsmouth SEO team is a limited company. Registration number is SC699214.

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

There are several agencies that claim to provide "full service" and handle everything – however, this is nearly never the case.

These agencies are usually good at certain things but not so good at others. They'll claim to provide all services but often outsource part of them without your knowledge.

Our SEO agency, Portsmouth is unique because we exclusively provide SEO services.

We have a full team of SEO specialists, web developers, HTML code specialists, and other professionals who can provide top-rated SEO services that work in line with your business goals.

How long are your contracts?

When you choose our Portsmouth SEO agency, we offer monthly contracts with a 6-week cancellation policy. We're so confident in our abilities that we won't hold you down to a 12-month or even 6-month contract.
