Bad Marketers Think SEO Lasts Forever

Smart marketers…understand that SEO is a process – not a one-time event.

Want to dominate search results? Get ranked higher? Generate more traffic to your website? What business doesn’t! After all, 94% of buyers conduct online research, and 77% use Google search.

If you don’t dominate SEO, you’re losing business.

Unfortunately, many people don’t realize that SEO doesn’t last forever. Search engines continually update the methodology by which they determine rank, responding to behavioral and technical shifts online.

For example, the explosion of mobile devices has led Google to more heavily weight factors like site-load speed and responsive design. And with more people using voice input (e.g., Siri, Cortana) for search, keyword strings are getting longer – which may impact the terms you need to rank well for.

Honestly, these are just a few of the myriad reasons you can’t take a “set it and forget it” approach to search engine optimization. If SEO is continually evolving, how can you stay dialed in – and rank above your competitors?

At BARQAR, we use a strategic, 6-step approach to ensure you stay on target:

  1. Defining SEO goals.
    Search engine optimization is about driving a LOT of targeted traffic to your website—not just ranking well for one search term. We identify your real business goals and build an SEO plan that works.
  2. SEO competition analysis.
    We analyze your current SEO efforts and look at competitors’ SEO as well. Using this information, we identify areas in which you can excel.
