Search Engine Optimisation Services
Search Engine Optimisation is a complex service and a constantly changing arena. It has proven time and time again to be one of the most effective (in ROI %) marketing techniques used in the digital age in improving bottom line figures. An SEO (Search Engine Optimiser) helps improve a websites visibility on search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo for a given number of target keywords normally related to the products and services you offer.
An individual could easily boost your websites ranking preformance a few years ago, but the workload to see websites rank highly on Google has increased substantially. Our team of experts have been operating in this field from early 2005 and, since then, the scope, tactics and methodologies to achieve improved rankings of a website have changed.
Gone are the days where stuffing meta keywords saw significant increases on a websites ranking or building thousands of spammy backlinks. Our SEO services include a number of key elements that form the foundations of what SEO is today. These include linking strategies, content optimisation, on-site HTML improvements and more. We continuously monitor and work to Google’s guidelines, making sure the websites we build are founded on what we know to generate success online by optimising them in a way to rank on Google’s first result page.

OUTDATED SEO PRACTICES
Keyword Stuffing
Keyword stuffing was a viable SEO tactic 12 years ago. Now-a-days it can end you up in a sticky situation with Google with the potential of receiving a manual action penalty that could de-index your website from Google. Content should be quality, written by experts and make logical sense. Content is king and context is queen (as the saying goes).
Unoptimised Title / H1 Tags
Your title tag and h1 tag are the most important on-site SEO elements. These two tags help define exactly what the page is talking about and is typically what Google’s robot reads first before crawling the page. If these aren’t optimised to your service / product, or you’re including multiple titles or h1’s in your source code, then your website isn’t search engine friendly.
Duplicate Content
Duplicate content can cause a real problem for website owners, especially if you’re already paying a large sum in SEO services and not getting anywhere on the search engine rankings. There are two main issues with duplicate content;
1) Google doesn’t like it. Depending on the severity, it could lead to a manual action penalty.
2) Most web owners forget to spot it. Filters / categories are the worst offenders, potentially offering up 1,000’s of duplicated content pages.
Missing Robots
Some argue that a Robots.txt file isn’t required (this file gives implicit instructions to Google on pages to ignore / crawl on a website). A Robot’s.txt file IS required and is clearly stated by Google themselves. Even if you setup no instructions within the text file, you still need to give Google the go-ahead to index a website using the /allow command.
URL Structure
If you notice on your URL’s that they include ?’s or ! or even a random set of numbers for a product, service or any other type of page on a website, then your URL’s are SEO unfriendly. A hierarchical structure and a clean path to a product within a URL is one of Google’s algorithmic factors. This doesn’t apply to websites that are as strong (PageRank wise), such as the likes of Amazon, because they are super authoritative in Google’s search algorithm.
More links the better
A common misconception with SEO is the belief by many, so called, experts that the more links your website has pointing to it, the better you’ll perform in the search engines. Whilst links are still a major part of Google’s algorithm, it has certainly lost the a proportion of it’s weighting over the years as relevancy and content algorithms have moved in place. We expect this trend to continue as many webmasters continue to adopt black-hat techniques.
As a small business owner, you know the importance of nurturing a strong online presence in todays very competitive landscape. Every day, countless potential customers are searching for products and services just like yours. It's time to make sure they find you and not the competition. Let our expert team at SEO Moves help you climb the search engine rankings and connect with your audience.
What Are The Benefits Of Search Engine Optimisation

In our own experience, our clients have grown from small local regional distributors to nationally recognised brands for obtaining 1st page rankings for only a select few keywords. This doesn’t come easy however, and the path to success isn’t always as easy as you may think due to the time frame it now takes to obtain results from organic means.

THE KEY AREAS OF SEO
Finer SEO Details
On-site optimisation is the process of making your website appeal to both search engines and visitors. SEO Moves reviews, improves and implements positive, impactful, changes to enhance both the public face of your website and the coding / technical set-up which search engines can crawl providing more market conversions, user data and a campaigns audit.
Google’s search engine will evaluate a website differently to that of a human visitor. For example, Google’s bot can’t evaluate how nicely your website is designed or the true value of your product of service. See our Web Development page for more information.
By carrying out various on-site optimisation techniques such as;
You begin to enhance your website and allow it to communicate more effectively with a search engine crawler bot. However, there are cases of over-optimisation which can lead to an algorithmic penalty. If you think you may be under penalty, have an SEO Moves consultant contact you.
Opposite to on-site optimisation, off-site optimisation is the process of promoting and enhancing your website across the web by building link popularity, social mentions and current referring content. The purpose to do this is to build brand awareness and votes which help in improving rankings in search engines whilst attracting visitors from other sources.
It’s a long slog and results won’t appear overnight. Typically it can take up to 6 or more months to see substantial improvement in rankings due to Google’s sandbox period.
Typically off-site optimisation will include many of the following elements;
Many websites typically don’t have the link popularity to be appropriately ranked on Google. With our off-site optimisation services we have helped businesses rank in the competitive holiday, photography and furniture markets. Coupled with our expert social media team our service is industry leading.
These elements of a website are generally overlooked via many so called seo experts and web design agencies with the belief of not being important. With over 7 years of continued research, we have proven countless number of times that meta tags (excluding meta keywords), HTML improvements and structure have played a significant part in a websites ranking. There are aspects of social media marketing that can be helped with the tags in your website.
Google is aiming to deliver fresh, relevant and appropriate websites. If Google’s crawler bot identifies non W3C validated code or identifies no presence of a CSS then it will typically apply a watermark and/or de-rank a website.
If you believe your website isn’t performing to how you’d like it to, then contact an SEO Moves consultant to identify areas for improvement.
Local search engine optimisation is part of the service that clients will receive once they’re on board with the SEO Moves team. Many businesses originally target national level keywords or super-generic phrases like ‘cheap tyres’ or ‘kitchenware’. Phrases like these take a long time to see your website ranking on the first page, especially when there’s website such as John Lewis, Argos, Boots and other major retails with a link popularity 3 times the size of yours. However, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done and we have a number of clients regularly beating these types of competitors.
In light of that, targeting locally can be a good start for many small to medium sized organisations. You’re generally better known in the local area and this can work well for local search phrases. Do you come up on Google maps or Google search results when you type in ‘#town #service/product’?
If not, then it’s time to get in touch. Use one of the links below to find our about SEO Services in your local area (we do offer nationwide SEO):
Every SEO campaign must start off with effective and reliably sourced keyword research. Targeting the wrong keywords can be extremely costly, especially if there has been little improvement in sales and visitors.
For example; If you’re a product designer do you target the phrase ‘product design’? – Well actually, you don’t. Period. The language and search behaviour of potential visitors online is very much different to that of what you would expect in the day-to-day world. Product design the keyword is mostly searched by college students who are looking to explore higher education opportunities. If an organisation targeted this phrase then you won’t be exposing your website to the right audience and even though you would expect website visitor’s statistics to increase, so would your bounce rate. In this instance the more suitable keyword to target would be ‘product design consultants’ or ‘product design company’.
