We work hard to boost the visibility of our client\u2019s websites and optimise them for the Google algorithms. As a result of our hard work, the brands we work with are able to grow and flourish. We have a passion for seeing companies excel and we love taking on new projects as we go.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO can be difficult at the best of times without having to understand all the jargon and intricacies that come with it. On top of this, we then have to battle with the constant changes to the algorithm meaning we\u2019re always evolving our tactics. It\u2019s for these two reasons that we always recommend outsourcing this task to an&nbsp;SEO agency in the UK. Not only will it save you a whole lot of stress in the future but, it\u2019s often a lot more cost-efficient. Time is often something that no business owner has to spare. Having to constantly retrain your staff is time-consuming. At least by bringing a specialist team into the mix, you won\u2019t have to waste time or money on research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-does-seo-exist-and-how-does-it-work\">Why Does SEO Exist and How Does it Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you haven\u2019t heard of the term SEO before, allow me to explain the basics of what it is. Essentially, Google want to ensure the best service for their customers. In order to do so, they need to make sure they\u2019re giving them the right information when they\u2019re asked for it. The way they know how useful your content is, is through some guidelines they\u2019ve set; also known as the Google algorithm. This includes both on-site and off-site factors which we will discuss more later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When publishing a website, Google first send out robots known as \u2018crawlers\u2019 to index your site. They come along with an almost checklist of things they\u2019re looking for. These are the on-site and off-site factors we mentioned just now. The more tick boxes you satisfy, the more your SEO value increases. As such, you\u2019re going to rank better when people search for anything relating to your business. This is important for visibility reasons. Unless people are exposed to your URL, nobody is going to know who you are. SEO is a great way to boost your brand recognition and in turn, your sales too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-an-seo-agency-in-the-uk-do\">What Does an SEO Agency in the UK do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately for those of you looking to cut costs, there are no crash courses that can teach you everything you need to know. If you\u2019re wanting to improve your SEO (which every company should) you\u2019ll need to enlist some help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless it wasn\u2019t quite obvious, an SEO agency works on optimising your website based on what search engines like Google expect of you. We\u2019re basically dedicated to getting your ranking as high as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-improve-your-seo\">How Do You Improve Your SEO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.verriberri.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/P1380711-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"SEO property marketing in Essex\" class=\"wp-image-16028 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">As I teased earlier, there are things you can do both on your website and outside of your URL that affect how you rank. These are better known as on-site and off-site factors. Let\u2019s take a look further into what you need to keep an eye out on:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-on-site\">On-Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the whole, the things you can do on your website to boost your SEO value include things such as content creation and back-end optimisation. On the surface, this may seem quite simple. However, when you delve deeper, you\u2019ll quickly see there is more than meets the eye.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content creation is one of the simplest areas to understand so, we\u2019ll start here. The term \u2018content\u2019 encompasses a range of things from landing pages to blogs. These take a long time to write up and need to follow a certain set of criteria. The reason content boosts your SEO is because it works as an indicator to Google. To keep things basic; if you\u2019ve mentioned a certain topic in your blog a few times, for instance \u2018SEO agency in the UK\u2019, Google can gather more information on what you do. These are known as keywords. When people then search for said term, Google can be confident that your website can answer their question. Hence, they\u2019ll bump your website higher on the search engine results page (SERP.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Google can be picky. When writing any content, there are of course guidelines to follow. The content you\u2019re writing needs to score well when assessing the readability. If your content is hard to understand or too jumbled, people are going to click off your website quickly. This hurts your SEO. To avoid this, you need to keep 80% of your sentences below 20 words. In addition, you also need to include formatting techniques such as headings. Your keyword should also feature several times throughout. 5-6 times is the recommended limit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back-end optimisation is where things quickly become even more difficult. Seeing that mobile\u2019s now account for a large number of searches, Google favours websites that are full optimised for this type of viewing. No matter how established you are, nobody likes a website that won\u2019t load. People are impatient and if your website takes a long time to show, they\u2019re going to click off. This will increase your bounce rate as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as this, you can also improve your value by compressing image sizes and including things alt-tags and meta-descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-off-site\">Off-Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This area of search engine optimisation is complex. Both social media and high-quality back-linking are techniques that will contribute to your EAT. This is an anagram used by Google to indicate whether you are&nbsp;<strong>experts<\/strong>&nbsp;in your industry,&nbsp;<strong>authoritative<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>trustworthy<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an&nbsp;SEO agency in the UK, we know that reputation counts. Therefore, if a trusted company is willing to boast about you, you must have attributes of EAT. If other people are confident in your business, this instils confidence in Google. As a result, your SEO will improve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building up a good following on your social media shows that you\u2019re experts in your industry. If lots of people are following your account and engaging with your content, Google will have more faith in you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-contact-the-team\">Contact the Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we touched on earlier, it\u2019s not advised that you attempt SEO on your own. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verriberri.co.uk\/essex-seo-agency-4\/\">As an&nbsp;SEO agency in the UK,<\/a> we often have companies approach us having damaged their own ranking.
