Choosy Customers Choose SEO Agencies Wisely: A 6-Point Cheat Sheet

You recognize that you need an SEO agency, which puts you ahead of the game, but you may have no idea how to pick one. The truth is, however, that you don’t have to go with the luck of the draw. If you’ve gotten yourself into a bad relationship with an SEO agency, the good news is you can call it quits and find a better love connection. While SEO agencies may seem interchangeable – only with different cover art – they absolutely are not.

Business Owners Spending Wisely throughout the Impending Recession

Times are tough, and while you may be tempted to limit spending on marketing or advertisements, this can be a critical mistake. According to CNBC, the economy has a toe or two dipped in recessionary waters, and while you’ve likely already cut back as a business owner, there are some additional steps you may want to consider. In the second quarter of 2022, the economy in the United States fell by .9 percent, which means we’ve had two quarters in a row with negative GDP. While this does not, in and of itself, spell recession, it shouldn’t be ignored either.

Your Search Bar: A Big Deal You Should Deal With

The future of search is now. Your customers and potential customers alike can go directly to your site’s handy-dandy search bar to plug in exactly what they are looking for and go directly to it, and the convenience cannot be denied. Search used to be nothing more than a workaday tool that helped searchers hammer their way through labyrinthian websites, but no more. Search has the potential to serve as a powerful conversion tool, which should be used to your advantage.

Fortunately, a better understanding of the basics can help you get a better handle on your business’s SEO hygiene – rendering it sparkling clean in the process. If you feel like it’s always something when it comes to SEO, you’re on the right track, but improving your SEO hygiene doesn’t have to be a herculean effort – and once you set the wheels in motion, the resulting benefits can provide a significant return on your investment.

Let the Competition Be Your Guide

If your competition is outranking you online, don’t chalk it up to the luck of the draw or to happenstance. There is a reason the other guy has taken the lead on this one, and data analysis can help you get to the bottom of the matter and hone your competitive edge. There’s more to get out of the data that’s available to you than simply identifying the brand of content for which your target audience clamors. When you analyze data in relation to what readers want and what your hottest competition is providing, it can give your online offerings the boost for which you’re looking.
