Search Engine Optimization

What is an SEO strategy?

SEO strategy is the process of shaping a website’s content to improve the likelihood of appearing high in search engine results. It’s the steps you follow to maximize the opportunity to gain organic traffic. Having an SEO strategy helps you stay on track when creating content for your site, ensuring that what you create is actually what users are searching for. A one-size-fits-all SEO strategy will disappoint. SEO must be driven by specific, actionable business goals particular to your company.

What is search engine optimization?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the quality and quantity of traffic to your website through search engines. It’s the science of augmenting a website to increase visibility when users search for products/services. More visibility translates to more business. SEO targets unpaid traffic rather than direct traffic or paid traffic. Search engine optimization is generally measured by the placement/ranking of a site on search engine results pages (SERPs).

On-Page Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization is a complex task! In order to bring in and convert as much organic traffic as you can, all of the crucial pieces have to balance and strengthen one another. At Dream Tech IT one of the major elements we focus on is on-page optimization. On-page optimization aims to optimize the pages of your website themselves, especially when it comes to content, keywords, and essential bits of HTML code. It helps you direct more organic traffic to pages that are relevant to your visitor’s needs. It gives your company higher lead quality and perfectly complements the CRO techniques that help that page convert. It’s a key focus area when Dream Tech IT implements an SEO strategy and we’re good at it! The factors we focus on when optimizing the pages of your business website are:

Content (quality, length, relevance)
Keywords (research and selection)
Internal linking
External linking
Ensuring search engines can talk to your content
Attention to detail (title tags, meta description, schema markups, content structure, keyword relevance, images, etc.)

Our tried-and-true approach will make the pages of your business website perform better than ever.

Your Audience Is Everything!
Powerful on-page SEO looks beyond the page itself and considers your audience. If you want your pages to rank high and convert well, they must answer searcher intent. Predicting and understanding intent makes for higher-quality content, better use of keywords and more effective local search optimization. It ensures your audience can access, navigate, and understand your web pages without problems. We make sure your pages are supported by mobile-friendliness, fast load speed, smooth navigation and a great overall user experience. At Dream Tech IT, we look at the bigger picture. Whether we’re getting more organic traffic to a page or building an entire custom website, it’s as much about your audience as it is about your site itself.

Measuring success through auditing

A site will rank best when it’s filled with high-quality duplicate-free content and its keywords are skillfully researched and implemented. Dream Tech IT’s SEO auditing examines these and other on-page SEO factors so that your web pages will be recognized by search engines as reliable and relevant to the user’s search terms. Our auditing process goes beyond SEO alone. By auditing search efficiency by page, we can determine how well your search performance is working in tandem with your converting power. We can devote more SEO attention to a low-ranking but high-converting page, put more CRO effort into a high-ranking but low-converting page or better capitalize on a page that already ranks and converts beautifully. A technical SEO audit involves a number of steps for identifying and eliminating issues with crawlability and indexability. Dream Tech IT’s SEO specialists can examine your robots.txt file, metadata, and other bits of information that are crucial to communication, revealing broken links, page title issues and other problems that impede the search engine crawling process and hurt your ranking.
