This can be done through a number of on-site and off-site factors which we\u2019ll explore later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Google algorithm was essentially created so that Google could allow their users the best service possible. With there being such a vast array of information out there, we\u2019d never find what we need without it. The algorithm is essentially a set of guidelines that help Google to pick the best information for the search.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a nation, we\u2019ve become impatient. With this, most of us only consume the content that appears highest on the SERP. In other words, if you\u2019re not on the top of the first page of results, people won\u2019t see your website. Our&nbsp;Essex SEO agency&nbsp;have seen first-hand the results that our clients get from an improved ranking. Not only is it great for driving sales through increased site traffic but it can also help you to get ahead of your competitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-it-all-works\">How It All Works<\/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\/09\/P1390263.jpeg\" alt=\"Search Engine Optimisation in Essex\" class=\"wp-image-19964 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verriberri.co.uk\/essex-seo-agency-4\/\">SEO is not a simple process<\/a>. If it were, businesses like our&nbsp;Essex SEO agency&nbsp;wouldn\u2019t exist. In order to get your website ranking, you need to have a well-evolved knowledge surrounding the technicalities of back-end optimisation. In addition, you\u2019ll also need to be creative in order to write authentic and interesting content. And if that wasn\u2019t enough, you\u2019ll also need a lot of time to keep up to date with the constant changes to the algorithm. With all of this in mind, it\u2019s likely to be much more cost-efficient to hire a team of experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">In the meantime, let\u2019s discuss some common areas of SEO that people often overlook:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spelling-grammar-and-formatting\">Spelling, Grammar and Formatting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Content creation is a huge indicator when it comes to determining your SEO value. This is one of the on-site factors affecting your ranking. Whether you\u2019re writing blogs or pages, there are a few rules you have to stick too along the way. Some of which are easily forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Google haven\u2019t officially said that spelling and grammar affects your value, it certainly affects your bounce rate. This is the percentage of people who click off your website after viewing only one page. When reading content, mistakes can be really irritating and hard to ignore. The more these feature, the more you potentially push someone towards going elsewhere. As well as this, spelling errors also make you look unprofessional and lack-lustre, damaging your reputation. Going back to what we were saying before about bounce rate, the higher your percentage, the less Google favours you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords are a way of indicating to Google what it is your content is about. They\u2019re usually short phrases such as \u2018Essex SEO agency\u2019 in this case. What people sometimes fail to realise however is their keyword density. The recommended length for a blog is 1,000 words. Within this, you should always aim to feature your keyword between 5-6 times throughout. Although it\u2019s thought that this isn\u2019t quite as important as it once was, it\u2019s an easy way to gain more brownie points. You do however need to be careful that you\u2019re not throwing them in anywhere. Featuring a keyword too often can make your writing boring and unprofessional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know that writing content takes time and sometimes it can become a bit samey. However, it\u2019s vitally important that you\u2019re not too tempted by the copy and paste buttons. Duplicate content can be really damaging for your SEO. Regardless of whether you plan to modify it or not, you should always write fresh information to put out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"links\">Links&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Links can be pesky things at the best of times however, ignoring broken ones could lead to your downfall. As a consumer, it\u2019s frustrating if you\u2019re on a website that doesn\u2019t work. What\u2019s more, broken links make your site look abandoned and disused. These things combined will eventually lead to a damaged ranking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back linking is a huge part of SEO and they usually come off the back of PR campaigns. When you\u2019re appearing in online publications, it\u2019s the done thing that they include a link to your website. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verriberri.co.uk\/marketing-essex\/seo-agency-essex\/link-building-agency\/\">These links can be massive for you if they\u2019re coming from quality sources.<\/a> They\u2019re a good way to showcase to Google that you\u2019re experts in your field and can be trusted. There is such thing as negative back links though. If all of your links come from the same source, then this could be flagged as webspam. Furthermore, links from untrusted sources could also have a detrimental effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"behind-the-scenes\">Behind the Scenes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody likes a slow website that is struggling to load, and Google knows this. Therefore, if your website isn\u2019t fully optimised in terms of speed, you\u2019re going to suffer. It can be hard knowing how to fix more technical things like this which is where you may consider asking our&nbsp;Essex SEO agency&nbsp;to step in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meta-descriptions play a key part in enticing people onto your site. Essentially, they\u2019re the short pieces of text you see under each search result. These are designed to give a brief description as to what the page is about. These act as attention grabbers which eventually drive your click-through rate higher. The more people that Google sees are interested in your content, the higher they\u2019ll bump you up the SERP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contact-the-team\">Contact the Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This year has been tough on many businesses, us included.
