SEO is one of the most effective marketing tools available for businesses. It is extremely valuable because it brings pre-qualified leads and customers to your business. Customers are searching for you and your services. You, for example, most likely searched “Fort Collins SEO Company” and look what you found! SEO eliminates the need for all those beautiful in-person sales pitches and who doesn’t love that?
Localized search is the gateway to online visibility for small and medium businesses who only serve a particular area and is a key component to our Fort Collins SEO efforts. Recently, search engines have moved more towards local search results, opening the doors even further to great opportunities for local businesses everywhere. Businesses can now leverage their location and gain relevant visits and potential customers.
Link building has become increasingly more difficult with Google updates like Penguin. As link building becomes more intricate, it becomes even more imperative that you have an SEO company that understands how to build long-lasting links and useful content. Our link building strategies help clients build clean and natural link profiles, allowing their websites to remain relevant and authoritative to search engines.
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the process of increasing the percentage of site visitors who perform your call to action(s). Basic CRO is making sure you have a phone number at the top of your page and a form prominently placed. Beyond the basics, we implement website eye-tracking or screen recording to get an understanding of how a visitor engages with your site. Based on that data CRO gets more in-depth as we A/B content, colors, image, etc...
Along the lines of having a site ready for mobile and local search, Google has made site speed a ranking factor, although a very minor one, it's becoming more important for a website to load quickly. Using various plugins and some minor dev fixes we speed up pages slowing your website down.
As technology advances, voice search is becoming more and more crucial to a company’s online visibility. Firestarter SEO can help optimize your website to prepare for the increasing shift to voice searches. We do this by ensuring your site is optimized for mobile, using natural search language in your content, and focusing on keywords with the right user intent.
On-site SEO is an important aspect for all websites. First and most importantly, HTML tag optimization, HTML tags have certain meanings and use cases. Each tag needs to be used properly in order to fully optimize your website. Some HTML tags have more prominence and weight on your site rankings than others. We make sure the on-site optimization is done correctly and has the appropriate keyword usage sprinkled throughout the content. All of this provides your users with a friendly experience and search engines the ability to index your site properly. When on-site SEO is done correctly and combined with powerful off-site SEO, the results can be stunning.
More and more people are performing searches on mobile devices. As the trend continues it is important that your website and SEO are ready. The way we prepare a site for mobile-first is to make sure the website can be viewed properly on a mobile device, sometimes this is a simple as updating the viewport on a website. In other cases, this may mean building a responsive site. Once the website is ready to be viewed on mobile, we optimize the site for local search, searches centered around a location or area. Furthermore, we optimize pages for "Near Me" searches. Expert tip - Use retargeting Ads for mobile.
