Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Good SEO help, advice & guidance can be difficult to come by, but you've done it!

Technical Optimization

Technical SEO fixes the fundamentals of what makes a healthy website in the eyes of the search engines & users.

Content Optimization

Content SEO better utilizes existing content & develops new highly engaging and link-worthy text, graphics and data.

Link-Profile Optimization

Link-profile optimization, traditionally known as link development, uses high quality content to attract high quality links.

Conversion Optimization

Once there is healthy traffic, then comes the time to optimize for conversions. After all, we want traffic that converts.

Search Engine Optimization Success

Search engine optimization, when properly executed, can be profitable and sustainable. To be successful, an SEO service should consist of technical optimization, on-page optimization (content development, user-experience evaluation and improvements, and internal link optimization), and link outreach--the link outreach should only happen once link-worthy content (textual or otherwise) has been identified or created. The conceptually simple process of search engine optimization can become a daunting task. But fret not, we are DST and here to help!

Types of SEO

There are two major types of search engine optimization, white hat search engine optimization (the 'good' kind of SEO), and black hat (the 'not so good' kind). There are of course differing opinions about the nature of each type of SEO. Get the information you need to be able to tell them apart and make an informed decision when evaluating SEO campaign proposals.

SEO Services

There are a variety of SEO services which can help contribute to the improvement of the organic search engine rankings (SERPs) of a website. These optimization services include, but are not limited to, on-page (also known as on-site) optimization, link building, search engine friendly website design and development, and search engine friendly content writing services.

For Whom Is SEO Suitable?

Is SEO suitable for your business? On the surface, search engine optimization is a good way of marketing a website; after all, who doesn't like free traffic. Unfortunately, that kind of approach to SEO is exactly how many individuals and companies invest thousands of dollars into SEO campaigns without useful and, more importantly, sustainable results.

What Can SEO Accomplish?

There is a lot of misinformation about what an SEO campaign (company) can accomplish when it comes to organic search engine rankings. Here we try to dispel the oft repeated myths, and give you realistic expectations of what a search engine optimization campaign can accomplish in the short, mid and long term.

SEO services without the sales-pitch & sales-people. Just search engine optimization that works!

What Is SEO?

Search engine optimization is the process of improving the visibility of a website on organic ('natural' or un-paid) search engine result pages (SERPs). This is accomplished through implementation of search engine friendly website architecture, optimized internal navigation and link landscape, as well as optimization of the content (comprised, at a minimum, of readability & usability improvements, and grammatical corrections). SEO is as much art as it is science, but at its core it is the discipline of making user-friendly & useful content understandable and easily digestible for search engines.

SEO Services

There are a variety of search engine optimization services which offer solutions for ranking issues, and deficiencies. Depending on your goals, and needs one, or a combination, of the below services may be right for your website.

SEO Services: Picking the right fit for your business

Website SEO Audit

An SEO audit can come in varying levels of detail and complexity. A simple website audit can be as short as a few pages long, and would address glaring on-page issues such as missing titles, and lack of content. On the other end of the spectrum, a comprehensive website SEO audit will be comprised of dozens of pages (for most larger sites it will be over one hundred pages) and address even the tiniest of website elements which may potentially be detrimental to the ranking-ability of a website.

As with a website SEO audit, there are basic, as well as comprehensive services when it comes to on-page search engine optimization. At the most basic level, an on-page optimization campaign can be a one-time project which includes recommendations developed through an audit, and the implementation thereof. This type of on-page optimization would generally target the home page and a few other important pages on the website. More comprehensive on-page search engine optimization campaigns will use the findings of a highly-detailed website SEO audit, and monitor results to guide ongoing changes to the on-page optimization.

Even though on-page work does not need to be updated in many cases (e.g. when the site has evergreen content), it is recommended that the website and the content being published therein be audited on a regular basis to uncover potential problems which may creep up through website updates and changes.

SEO Content Development

SEO content development is the process of creating website content which can come in a variety of forms, including text (e.g. articles, whitepapers, essays, research documents, tutorials, and glossaries), infographics (information graphics), PDFs, searchable databases, web tools, and the like.

As you will note, the traditional definition of content (i.e. articles) is no longer appropriate, since content comes in many forms. It is also important to realize that depending on your niche, not every type of content would be suitable for your website.

'SEO content' is also a misnomer (it was not before); content which can impact search engine friendliness positively should be more accurately described as "high quality content", which will in turn make earning and acquiring links much easier.

When looking for content that is going to help your SEO efforts, it is crucial to look for high quality content; or more accurately, find people who are able to develop such content. Seeking out 'SEO content' can lead to content that is jammed full of keywords without much consideration for quality.

SEO content writing as a service can be useful, if shortcuts are not taken, and the content is not expected to perform magic. Well written, interesting and useful content will inevitably be found, and get attention on its own merits; however, it also helps lay the foundation for a successful link development campaign.

Link Development

Link development is one of the most controversial and often talked (written) about topics of the search engine optimization industry. Since backlinks are the most vital component of any search engine optimization campaign, and at the same time the most time consuming and consequently most expensive (assuming they are good quality links and not just random directory submissions and blog comment spam) part, inevitably, there are many service providers who offer inexpensive link building services in order to attract and impress potential clients. Such schemes include large volumes of directory submissions (e.g., 200 directory submissions per month), worthless blog and forum comment spam (e.g., 100 blog links per month), or article writing and submissions which result in extremely poor quality content published on equally low-quality article directories which contribute in no positive way to ranking improvements. So if someone is quoting you a $500 per month search engine optimization services which includes large volumes of directory submissions, blog posts, articles, blog/forum comments and so on, all you will be doing is throwing your money away. This is not to say that you can't get link-work for $500 per month; however, it won't be for a large volume of links.

Good quality link development work focuses on quality rather than quantity. A well-researched and relevant, good quality link is worth many times more than hundreds of free directory submissions.

The fundamentals of link building are, have always been and always will be, based on good quality (i.e., useful, interesting, entertaining, educational) content. Because if there is no good content on your site that people can link to, it will be very difficult to convince them to do so.

Code Optimization

Code optimization is a service you can expect at the highest levels of search engine optimization services, as it involves an overhaul of your website HTML. The optimization of your HTML can impact search engine rankings in two ways. First, it can help alleviate code-clutter, and present your content in an easy-to-understand (for machines, that is, search engine algorithms) format. Second, it can help reduce the load-time of your website pages, so that search engine spiders don't have to wait around while your page loads (because it's too long, or has too many images, etc).

A comprehensive search engine optimization campaign will have all the above elements, but it will also incorporate other important services such as keyword research, ranking reports, traffic reports, and conversion tracking.

SEO Packages

SEO packages are pre-selected service offerings designed to make the initial decision-making process easier for clients. They provide a simple way for shoppers to compare SEO services. In some instances, however, customization of these SEO packages is required in order to address the specific needs of your business. We will work with you to identify the shortest path higher rankings and SEO success.

Comprehensive content editing and content writing is included in every SEO campaign. The importance of high quality and useful content cannot be overstated. We work with clients to plan and generate the most appropriate type of content for their website.
