SEO Process

SEO might seem intimidating - but it’s really not if you think about it in three distinct buckets and that’s ‘Technical SEO’, ‘On Page SEO’ and ‘Off Page SEO’. Let’s break them down to show exactly what SEO is all about.

Technical

Do you want your website to be safe? Fast? For it to be easy for users to navigate your site?

That’s exactly what Technical SEO is all about, it’s basically making sure you have a good website for your users to use and for search engines like Google to easily understand them. Based in York

On Page

If you’re reading ‘this’, you’re literally experiencing ‘on page SEO right now.

So if you found this page by searching for “SEO York”, you can see that I have achieved that from the very words you’re reading.

Off Page

This is everything that happens outside of your website.

Search engines trust websites more than others, and they reward ones they trust with higher rankings. So how do you gain more trust? That’s exactly what Off Page SEO is all about.

How Does SEO Work For Your Business?

A super easy way to think about this.

If you found this page, you likely searched something along the lines of “SEO York” or “York SEO Services” but you didn’t know who I was - so you didn’t search for “Harry Boxhall SEO Services”.

The difference between the two is that the first types of search terms are non-branded (my name is not included) but you knew what you wanted “SEO” and your location “York”.

And now, you might be reading this thinking of getting in contact me with to help improve your presence and overall traffic on Google and the like.

That’s exactly what SEO is about for businesses.

It’s about improving your rankings for terms that your ‘potential customer’ is interested in and searching for and making sure that your website is turning it for those terms. Whether you sell Cheese Online or offering local York roofing services.

You want to rank for terms that people are trying to find you with - but don’t yet know who you are.

Where Do We Start?

Get in touch below and we can get to know each other, I can figure out your objectives and from there produce a free proposal where I think your website can go - and ultimately help to drive your York business forwards.

I can also help clear up any questions you might have surrounding SEO and help you figure out - is it really suitable for your type of business. If it’s not, I will tell you that I don’t think it’s the right marketing path.

Technical SEO

Then if you’re happy to go ahead with everything, the first place we are going to kick off with is a Technical SEO audit.

This serves a lot of purposes - firstly - it really allows me to get to grips with your site, how it’s set up, why it’s set up that way.

Then critically it allows me to identify any potential issues that you have with your website. Whether it’s a bit too slow, it’s not secure, you have links going to dead pages and so on.

It allows us to draw up a clear list of technical tasks to get implemented that can improve the overall website, not only for Google’s sake but your visitor’s experience too.

Higher Rankings - More Revenue?

Once we have got that in place, we can start to work on the actual pages of the site.

This is where On Page SEO comes in. Essentially, we can improve your website’s traffic by specifically focusing on specific pages within your website that are targeting specific keywords.

For instance, this page is built to target the term “SEO York” specifically, you can see it in the text. You can see now that I am writing around the topic of SEO and I have it in my header at the top “SEO York Consultant” and it is in the URL:” /seo-york as well as the meta title.

These are all clues and pieces of evidence that Google uses to rank a certain page for a specific keyword. We will work across your entire website and even produce new pages to capture opportunities you weren’t getting before.

Build a Competitive Advantage

Have you ever wondered why your competitor might rank above you for a target keyword? Despite your website pretty much looking the same? Heck, yours might be even definitively better.

This could be due to off page SEO.

See, a way you can build a digital competitive advantage that most websites don’t even know about is by earning backlinks.

Quality backlinks pointing to your site allows you to rank more competitively for given keywords. I will help you gain these types of links through a range of link building methodologies.

“We started working with Harry approximately 8 months ago and from day one it has been a great experience.

When we approached Boxhall Marketing, our e-commerce website was brand new and we had zero rankings on Google. Since then, we have optimised our website in many ways and seen our rankings slowly grow for important keywords to our business.

We didn't have a large budget but Boxhall Marketing had a package that was perfect for us. Every week we received an SEO report showing us what needed to be done to strengthen our reputation with Google and key areas to focus on to improve the website conversion rate.

Very pleased with the service and the ongoing support when needed. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to grow their online business!
