What exactly IS search engine optimization??

We hear it all the time.  "What exactly is SEO?"

Or better yet, "WHY do I even need SEO?"

Don't worry, it's not a silly question and trust us...you're not the only one asking 305 Spin.  And while we have been employing these tactics within our website builds for years now, SEO has started to take on a life of it's own in this ever competitive market.  Let's break it down...

WHAT IT'S NOT:  Magic tricks.  Special red buttons.  It doesn't involve unicorns--or quadricorns, for that matter.  A large payment to a mobster or mafia member is not necessary.  Or the one mistake we commonly see the most, a single strategy done over and over again until you 'Have to eventually make a dent! Right?!'  

WHAT IT IS: A solid set of Best Practices implemented not only into the framework of the website, but a long term comprehensive strategy.  It will take a team of people with multi-faceted strategies working with on-site updates, social media, relevant content, and valuable links.  It's a solid marketing strategy that applies solely to your online presence and reputation.  Think of it as the online version of what your business has been doing to years (and in some of our clients cases, decades!) to be successful.

By definition, Search Engine Optimization is 'the process of affecting the visibility of a website or web page in a search engine's nature or organic search results.'  

I'm sure you're thinking, how do I know if I need to optimize my business for search engines?  Well, we haven't met many business who on some level need to be aware of their online presence.  With the way internet technology is taking over the world and growing so fast, statistics show that many people are either researching a product, service or business online before even considering picking up the phone or buying.  It's important to recognize that the more mobile and social we become through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and even Pinterest, users are depending on searches to point them in the way of a business/product/service that is most relevant to what they need.  Of course, you, want to appear at the top of those search engine results in an organic search.

So how does 305 Spin fit into the picture with your business and SEO?  305 Spin has been in business since 1993 and offers only customized solutions for each business.  Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the organic landscape, your competitors, and your online presence.  From there, we determine the best plan for attack and present to you a tailored program to insure you are positioning yourself in the most beneficial manner.  

Small, basic plans start as low as $500 per month and go up from there depending on how many hours each month should be dedicated to your online strategy.  Contact us today to learn more, even if it's just to learn more about what SEO can do for you!  TalkAboutIt@305spin.com.
