What is Organic vs. Maps Google Placement?

Organic placement is the search results located just under the paid ads in keyword search. These are called "Organic" results. This is the natural placement that is a result of optimizing your website. There are many ways to optimize a website, but there is truly only one right way. What our firm does is first research your competitive market. Next, we identify keyword phrases that will actually make money for your business. One of the most important aspects of monetizing your website is determining which keywords are critical to have top rankings for.

What are keyword phrases?

A keyword phrase is the phrase typed by users to find specific information in a search. You more than likely typed in a search looking for a Idaho Falls SEO company and found us. This is a keyword phrase that is very important to our business model. After all, this is what we do for a living. It is important to note that the longer the phrase is, the more qualified the user is and the increased likely hood the user will turn into a paid customer. If you just type SEO in google you will see many articles on the topic. If you search for a company in Idaho that provides SEO services, then you have already decided you need some help in this area.

Will my website perform in Google or do I need a new one?

The answer depends on how old your website is and whether or not it was built as a content management system such as Worrdpress or Joomla. A straight html website can be optimized, it will just cost more time and money. In many cases it will actually be more affordable to build a site from scratch rather than re-tool your current website. SEO Idaho™ offers free website audits.
