There are over 20 SEO companies in Coventry, ranging from freelancers working from home to website designers in Coventry that also offer SEO.
The problem you face is choosing which agency to work with. Do you choose a small agency or freelancer? Do you choose a Google Partner agency that is well established with years of experience? What about cost, do you go with the most expensive, or the cheapest agency?
This is where we at Marketing Quotes can help, by getting you quotes from a few local SEO companies in Coventry that know your industry sector.
Since the internet launched back in 1983 there were no search engines as such, just lots of different websites with no way to easily find things.
The first search engine launched in 1990 and was called Archie.
Google launched in 1998 and quickly became popular due to the lack of adverts and clean white background.
There are lots of other search engines, but Google is the default browser on many smartphones and desktop computers. Here are a few other search engines:
Each search engine has their own unique formula (known as a search engine algorithm) to rank all websites in Coventry (and not confuse the results with Coventry in Rhode Island USA).
SEO is all about getting your website listed on all the main search engines, better still for it to appear on page 1 of the results for your specific keywords in your area of the UK.
Many companies in Coventry do not just want to rank in the local area of Coventry, but other areas of the UK that they want to get customers from.
SEO is very much an unknown, since no-one really knows what the search engine algorithms is, but we do know that the algorithm does change several times a year.
SEO is broken into two main areas:
All SEO companies in Coventry will have different levels of SEO experience. Choosing one that knows their stuff is important.
Most SEO companies know about the guidelines that the search engines give, but there are ways of cheating the system, and this is one of the main reasons that the search engines keep changing their algorithm, to stop the rule breakers.
White Hat SEO is following the search engine guidelines and keeping following the rules.
Grey Hat SEO is pretty much following the rules, but bending them to get ranked quicker.
Black Hat SEO is not following the rules in order to get ranked ASAP.
Link farms were popular back in the day, where websites can get thousands of links to quickly get ranked. This was noticed and many websites were penalised for breaking the search engine guidelines.
Both experience in website optimisation, but also industry experience are important when selecting an SEO company.
There are many SEO companies in Coventry that are startups, with little experience of doing link building, social media marketing etc.
We do advise using an experienced agency, one that knows about Googles search algorithm, what changes they are making and what is needed to help your website climb online.
Every business is different, each targeting different keywords on the search engines.
It is therefore necessary that the agency knows your industry sector. They would have a better idea of the kind of search terms you need to be found for. Both long tail and short term keywords, competitive and less competitive search phrases. They should also know who your competitors are and how they are performing.
One of the benefits of working with a local SEO company in Coventry is the ability to meet them. Would you be comfortable working with an agency in London? They may claim to be award winning on their website, but how do you really know?
A meeting gives you the chance to meet the agency, to see their offices, meet the team and chat through their experience.
Review meetings are also helpful, to discuss progress, discuss ways of improvement and ROI.
At the meeting the SEO agency should look into your analytics and search console to see what your site looks like to the search engines currently.
They should analyse where your traffic is coming from currently (from search engines, from social media platforms like Twitter or from referring websites). The should then be able to see where you can improve.
Some industry sectors are more competitive than others. Insurance for example is very competitive.
Social media marketing is now a big part of 2020+ SEO, if you are not tweeting, you are dying.
This is why a meeting is advised, so you know they are 100% focused on you, rather than you just being another client.
All agencies set their own fees, therefore SEO prices will vary considerably, from a few minded a month, to thousands.
Choosing a marketing company to handle your website optimisation in Coventry can be challenging, as they all claim to be the best.
With marketing, you do not get what you pay for. The most expensive agency does not make them the best. However the cheapest agency is not necessarily the one to choose.
As discussed, choosing an SEO company needs to be done based on experience, their knowledge of your market, price, and also chemistry. Do you feel comfortable with them? Do they seem to know their craft?
Just fill in the form and we will help you get a few quotes from local SEO companies in Coventry that know your industry sector.
