How can SEO help my business?
Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO, can help your business grow by increasing website traffic and lead to more enquiries and more sales. SEO is the practice of improving a website to make it more visible to search engines like Google. Our process involves local SEO and improving, or ‘optimising’, web pages’ headings, content, images, page titles, meta descriptions and links to external and internal pages.
Your website is one of the crucial tools in promoting your business, and it must be seen and heard! SEO is a process that, with time and investment, can make a real difference to your business.
The result of good SEO is increased ranking in Google, an increase in site visitors and an increase in leads or sales. Conversions will also improve with our focus on conversion rate optimisation (the process of enhancing pages to make it easy for visitors to take the desired next step). We give honest, big-picture advice with a focus on what drives revenue and is most important to you.

What do Exeter SEO services involve?
In a nutshell we undertake extensive research and make off-page (technical) and on-page improvements. We also create fresh, new, optimised content develop industry-relevant linking. And we build new websites that are SEO optimised from the off.
Depending on your needs and budget, our SEO services follow some or all of the following strategy:
1) Work out the starting point
At the very start, we will audit your website and analytics setup to find out what’s working well and what it’s ranking for already. From that, we can see what needs improving. The SEO audit is usually done in the first month but ongoing monitoring is also part of the package.
2) Understand your industry
We will research what competitors are ranking highly in your sector, keywords you should be targeting and backlink profile. This information will give us ideas and opportunities to improve your website ranking and increase traffic.
3) Work out your SEO strategy
Based on 1 and 2, we will create a list of the necessary actions to take to improve your website’s performance. The file will be unique to your business. Your list will include optimising existing content, creating new content, local SEO and improvement of the off-site SEO.
4) Create relevant content
We will tweak the content that’s already there and create new content that answer as many search queries and questions visitors to your site have. In providing great content for your audience, your website should increase its brand authority and ranking.
5) Ongoing SEO improvements
SEO is not a ‘done once’ task. Done properly, and to get and maintain high rankings, you must make continual improvements to your website. It’s important to keep adding new links and content, to keep monitoring competitors and changes made by Google, and finding new keywords.

How do I know if I need SEO Exeter services for my website?
When people search for keywords and phrases related to your business, does your website appear at the top of results, or on the first page of search engines? If the answer’s no, then you need some SEO to reach more potential customers.
For many small and medium-sized businesses, not just in Exeter, SEO can seem daunting. That’s where Spotty Dog can help. We can undertake an audit of your website and give you a step-by-step to do list, be your SEO team, be your SEO consultant, or pick up bits and bobs. Whatever suits you best.
Below are a few more signs your website (and your business) would benefit from search engine optimisation.
Your site doesn’t show in search results
Your website should rank highly for words and phrases linked to your business. If it doesn’t appear on the first page, or top three map results for local SEO, it’s a sign you need SEO help.
Your site doesn’t get much traffic
Do you know how many visitors your site gets? With Google Analytics on your site you can analyse your site’s organic traffic. If organic search isn’t the top traffic driver for your site, it’s time to consider SEO help.
Your site doesn’t have an SSL certificate
SSL certificates keep data secure between servers and build customer trust. No SSL certificate means that your website will have ‘not secure’ in the toolbar, which equals a poor user experience.
Your traffic doesn’t convert
Your website connects with visitors and persuades them to buy your ‘thing’. If people visit your site but don’t convert, it’s an indication that there’s something wrong with the overall user experience. Investing in SEO can earn you more conversions and customers.
You don’t use content marketing
Search engines want to rank sites with valuable content, that matches or answers people’s search queries. Your site’s content is highly important. Content marketing can increase rankings and allow you to create pages that are informative AND related to keywords and phrases.
Your site is outdated and slow
Your website might have lots of old content and broken links. It might not be mobile friendly and you might be a bit embarrassed about it. It might have lots of duplicate content. Resolving all the little technical aspects helps Google and the overall usability of your site.
