The Importance of SEO Management

SEO is not just about getting to the top of search engine results pages (SERPs); it’s about ensuring your target audience can find you easily and quickly. For small businesses and nonprofits, this means attracting more visitors who are genuinely interested in what you offer. With the right SEO tools and strategies, you can enhance your website traffic, improve user experience, and build a solid online presence.

Some on-page SEO strategies include high-quality content creation, page optimization for user experience and site speed, and internal linking. In contrast, off-page SEO strategies include backlinking and link building, social media engagement, and local SEO.

Quick Win 1: Keyword Research and Content Optimization with Ahrefs

Choosing the Right Keywords

Keywords are the backbone of any successful SEO campaign. They are the words and phrases that potential customers type into search engines to find information, products, or services. Choosing relevant keywords ensures your website appears in front of your target audience when they search for your products and services.

Effective Keyword Research with Ahrefs

Ahrefs is a website with powerful SEO tools that identify the best search terms for your business. Start by entering a broad keyword related to your business into Ahrefs’ Keyword Explorer. Ahrefs will list keywords and metrics such as search volume, keyword difficulty, and click-through rate (CTR).

Look for low-hanging fruit keywords with a decent search volume but lower difficulty. These keywords are often less competitive and provide more opportunities to rank. You can also use Ahrefs or similar tools like SEMrush to discover keywords your competitors are ranking for but you are not. This can give you new content ideas and opportunities to improve your rankings.

Integrating Keywords Into Existing Website Content

Once you’ve identified your target keywords, it’s time to integrate them into your web pages. Ensure your primary keywords appear in critical areas such as headings, meta descriptions, and the first 100 words of your content. But avoid keyword stuffing; instead, focus on creating high-quality content that naturally incorporates your target keywords.

Example: Brand Fuel

For our client Brand Fuel, we needed to quickly gain more quality traffic, leading to more sales on their company’s online store page. We used Ahrefs to develop a content strategy with target keywords to help us enhance their existing content and create new pillar page content to capture more website traffic. 

We decided to optimize their existing company store page using the keyword “online company store” and turn it into a comprehensive pillar page with more information on this topic and all related sub-topics. Our work resulted in incredible increases in keyword rankings, including the primary term “online company store” moving from position eight to position three in SERPs and “company online store” moving from position 17 to position six.  

Quick Win 2: Using ClickCease for Google Ads and Website Traffic

What is ClickCease?

ClickCease is an advanced tool designed to protect your Google Ads campaigns from click fraud. Click fraud occurs when competitors or automated bots click on your ads maliciously, draining your ad budget without providing any real value. By using ClickCease, you can safeguard your ad spend and ensure that potential customers see your ads.

How ClickCease Cleans Up Your Data

ClickCease prevents click fraud and helps you obtain cleaner data on your ad performance, but it also does a fantastic job at blocking fraudulent traffic on WordPress websites. The tool works via a WordPress plugin and will screen your website for bots and spam traffic. Once it identifies any bots, ClickCease will block them from engaging with your website. With clean and reliable data, you can make informed decisions about your keywords, ad placements, and budget allocation. This ensures your ads reach the right audience and only high-quality traffic is driven to your website.

PimsyEHR received many spam inquiry form submissions on its website. Once we installed ClickCease on its WordPress backend, all the fraudulent submissions stopped, and their real conversions increased. With help from ClickCease, they could finally track their conversions and conversion rate properly in their customer relationship management system.

Quick Win 3: Using Clearscope to Optimize Existing Website Content

What is Clearscope?

Clearscope is an advanced content optimization tool that helps you create well-optimized content for search engines. It analyzes top-performing content for your target keywords and provides recommendations on improving your content, including which keywords to use that other tools may be unable to detect.

The Importance of Well-Optimized Website Content

High-quality, optimized content is essential for achieving higher search engine rankings. Clearscope helps you ensure that your content is comprehensive, relevant, and aligned with what search engines seek. By incorporating Clearscope’s recommendations, you can create or optimize content that ranks well and provides value to your audience.

Example: TechSmith

We worked with TechSmith to create optimized website content to promote their Camtasia product—a powerful screen recorder and video editor. We took their existing blog, 5 Easy Steps to Make a YouTube Outro, pulled a Clearscope report on the top keyword they wanted to rank for, “YouTube Outro,” and optimized this page to get an A++ rating in Clearscope.

After only one month, we moved this page from position nine in Google SERPs to position two for the top keyword. We were also able to move this page into the top three search results for related long-tail keywords, such as “how to make outro for YouTube,” “how long should a YouTube outro be,” and “YouTube video outro.”
