4 things to look for in a Corpus Christi SEO company

Finding the Best SEO Company Corpus Christi Has to Offer

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an incredibly valuable marketing tool used by businesses to bring more traffic to their website and hopefully convert that traffic into customers through high-conversion techniques and design. The main objective of your SEO company is to increase this traffic by ranking your website to the top of the Google search results because potential clients browsing the web are most likely to click on the first three results; the "click-through rate" (CTR) decreases rapidly after that. Now that we've covered what exactly SEO is, we'll delve into what qualities you want to look for when choosing your Corpus Christi SEO company.

The first thing to look for is a company that offers website auditing for free, because good SEO companies genuinely care about their clients and want them to be informed with the knowledge they need for success. They will ensure you are aware of your current baseline such as website health, rankings, and monthly traffic. This can also include an analysis of your top competitors and what they're doing differently, allowing you to do the same things but better which ultimately results in your website outranking theirs.

If you decide to proceed with receiving a proposal, a great SEO company will provide a very thorough strategic plan that they intend to follow including the amount of content, backlinks, and other things needed to improve your rankings. Additionally, they will provide a researched list of keywords with "search volume" (how many times that phrase is searched per month) that should be targeted. They will be transparent in answering any questions you have, wanting you to be as informed as possible for peace of mind that your business is in the right hands.

What True SEO Experts Should Know and Offer

Seek a company that is well-educated on proper SEO practices. The discussion of their strategic plan for your business should include both onsite and offsite SEO. Onsite optimization includes title tags, alt text on images, and the proper amount of quality, informative, relevant content added to the website on a regular basis. This content should include researched keywords, header tags, and links between the different pages on your website (interlinks). These links allow Google to crawl and navigate the entire website more quickly, which is a quality they value and want to reward with higher rankings. Offsite optimization still improves your rankings but occurs outside of your own website. This includes backlinks from reputable, relevant external sources (other websites that Google considers credible), good reviews from real clients, and a business presence in other locations such as social media and podcasts.

Finally, an SEO company should provide regular follow-up reports showing how your rankings and traffic have improved, as well as the amount of leads you have received directly through the website. It may take a few months to see significant change, but once you do the growth is exponential and incredibly worth it. Of course, these follow-up reports can't happen until after you have already chosen and begun working with the company, but always inquire during early communication to ensure they offer them. Additionally, great SEO companies rarely require a signed contract to work with them because they know their results will speak for themselves.
