OVERVIEW

SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the practice of improving a website’s technical setup, content relevancy, and link popularity in order for search engines to improve your search rankings.

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

On-Page SEO

On-page SEO relates to the elements of a page. 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 search engines understand and assign relevance to your pages and correlate your content with keywords that visitors search for on Google.

SEO Audits

A1 SEO Reading has SEO Audits down to a science. We have audited 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 on-page, off-page (link building), and technical aspects.

An audit from our Reading SEO agency is a great place to start if you want to know where your website SEO stands with Google’s algorithm requirements and get concrete suggestions on how to improve its search engine rankings.

Domain & Servers

SEO Consulting & Training

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

A1 SEO Reading 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

The cornerstone for scaling link-building and content marketing is technical SEO (including on-page SEO). Technical SEO analyses a site for search engines. It is important to create a Google-friendly site. Sites that provide more relevant and helpful 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 Reading can begin working on your website.

We have complete control over technical SEO, and 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 Reading manages the 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 Reading's short-, medium-, and long-term choices help relieve customer 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're able to take on additional clients without having to rush to employ more staff. We are always accessible for phone conversations and face-to-face meetings with the final client or prospective client.

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 also send several forms that are used by our internal teams in developing an SEO strategy.

2

Strategy Call

Following the onboarding stage, you will already have deliverables against your account, and the clock will start ticking towards 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. We recommend committing to ongoing, regular catch-ups with us, ideally bi-weekly.

3

Niche Analysis

Now we're cooking with gas! Our SEO company undertakes an in-depth niche analysis, exploring every topic and sub-topic within your sector, armed with the knowledge gathered via the onboarding process and our strategy call. 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 plan is being developed, our team of in-house digital PR professionals will crawl through your Google Search Console account to identify the most promising external links. We hunt for pages where high-quality 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 five!

5

Technical SEO Sprint

Our technical SEO team will be doing their magic in the background during the niche analysis and early link development stages. We compare all of our clients' websites to a 100+ point checklist and take corrective action should we uncover any irregularities. 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 first stage of our approach usually takes 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 optimising 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 ranking factors, including your company's industry and keyword competitiveness. SEO requires time, but should generally provide returns within 6-12 months. The end result is an increase in traffic and leads or conversions. Any company investing in SEO 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 a search engine optimisation (SEO) method that signals to search engines like Google that your website is an authoritative resource. This implies that sites with more high-quality backlinks are more likely to rank higher in search results.

What is on-page optimisation in SEO?

On-page optimisation, also referred to as on-page SEO, is the practice of improving a website's search engine rankings by making modifications to the page itself. Enhancements to the site speed, meta tags and title tags are instances of this.

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

An SEO specialist optimises each page of a website to ensure appropriate search results and a great user experience in order to enhance website traffic, lead volume, and brand exposure. In other words, an SEO expert is just like any other marketing professional, as they work to boost income for the firm, whether they operate in digital or conventional media.

When a website is tested, analysed, and updated to be search engine friendly, it increases in the ranks on major search engines such as Google and Bing.

An SEO Specialist may do wonders for a company's Google rankings by utilising keyword research and SEO tools such as Google Analytics during SEO campaigns. Some 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 Reading Offer?

A1 SEO Reading offers scalable SEO services, focusing on technical elements such as link building, content optimisation, technical SEO, local SEO, SEO consulting, and SEO training.

Do you specialise in any particular sectors?

To put it simply, we do not specialise in any particular industry. Having said that, the majority of our SEO work is in eCommerce SEO, where firms sell directly through a website. We've assisted in the development of effective SEO campaigns for dozens of large lead-generating firms to help reach their target audience and drive more traffic through organic search

Improve your search engine results and bring in targeted traffic with our expert SEO services.

Where is A1 SEO Reading based?

Our SEO company is based in Reading. Our main office in Reading is 150 Friar St, Reading RG1 1HE.

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

We understand that you might want to employ someone in-house. However, this usually only happens when yearly SEO expenditures exceed £70,000.

Using a third-party SEO agency provides several advantages, such as having access to a team of professionals who are up to speed on digital marketing, Google algorithm updates, and the newest trends and advances in search marketing.

Having a single professional in-house means that you'll have to account for leave, sick days, and meetings – which may render them unavailable at crucial times.

A1 SEO Reading provides you with a group of people, not just one. You get expertise in a variety of disciplines, not just your own. And since we invest in training and development, your team will gain valuable SEO knowledge that will help them add more value to your company.

We not only eliminate the possibility of employing the incorrect individual, but we are also considerably less expensive than hiring someone in-house. 

Most importantly, you can trust us as an agency. Trust, Loyalty, and Collaboration (TLC) are at the heart of how we conduct business, and our clients' success is always our first concern.

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

A content strategy is an important factor for any successful SEO strategy. When people search for answers online, they enter their queries into search engines in the hope of finding what they are looking for. Content strategies aim to help you reach the right customers and drive organic traffic to your website through the use of targeted keywords in high-quality, optimised content. We help you create content that reflects the search intent and is of value to your target audience.

It's not about being popular or keeping up with the newest trends. Instead, it's about being relevant, accessible, and available when internet users need you.

The good news is we're experts in content tactics. We've been working on content and search marketing long before they were fashionable, so we know what it takes to boost your search traffic for desktop and mobile users.

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

Never. We always apply ethical and "white hat" strategies in digital marketing, search engine optimisation, content development, reputation management, and link building. We don't provide quick fixes or false boosters, as we know they are a waste of time. Our strategies are rather focused on optimising websites in line with best practices in search engine algorithms. 

You may get "number one" for a term on the search engine results pages in a matter of weeks. But if it is a highly competitive keyword, the only way to do this is to deceive the search engines. While other websites or businesses may believe this is a smart solution, search engines usually catch on and penalise the site; therefore, we do not utilise it in our SEO efforts.

How much do you charge for your services?

Starting at £1,200+VAT per month, we offer a range of SEO services in line with your business goals.

We have various packages that are suitable for a wide range of businesses. Whether you want to drive qualified traffic to your new website or simply want to improve your overall content marketing strategy – we have a solution for you.

Achieve SEO success today. Get a quote for our Reading SEO services, and let's start driving relevant traffic to your website.

Who is A1 SEO Reading owned by?

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

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

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

These agencies may be good at certain services – such as social media or paid ads but sub-par at others. They may know the SEO basics but will outsource a large part of the SEO work to companies like ours.

We are unique in that our SEO experts exclusively provide SEO services. 

How long are your contracts?

We offer monthly contracts with a 6-week cancellation policy. We're so confident in our SEO services that we won't hold you down to 12-month or even 6-month contracts.
