When talking to a few SEO companies in Canterbury, there are a few things to consider:
There are 3 main areas of SEO that need to be factored in.
Firstly is onsite SEO. This is the actual content of your website, making sure your keywords are appearing on each page and are evenly distributed throughout. Also that content is relevant and is being added to regularly via a blog or just generally building content.
Second is offsite SEO. This is generally considered as link building (done through platforms like MOZ or SEM Rush). Other forms are guest posting on other websites, getting a Wikipedia page and posting on social media platforms.
Thirdly is technical SEO and this is more to do with the inner workings of your website. This is making sure your website meets the technical standards of search engines (which do change as technology moves on). A lot of the SEO metrics are based around mobile use now over desktop. Having a responsive website is now where you need to be.
Talking with a few SEO companies in Canterbury is important as some agencies are better than others.
These are the actual search terms you want to be found for on the search engines ‘plumbers in Canterbury’ is an example.
Depending on how competitive your sector and location is will relate to how long it takes you to climb the search engines.
Different people will find you via different search terms, so talking to SEO companies in Canterbury about any variations is wise.
How much time do you need committed each month, do you need a couple of days spread over a month, or something more full time?
If you are in a super competitive industry (insurance for example), you may need a lot of work involved. If you are a new business, you will have some catching up to do against your competition.
When looking at SEO companies in Canterbury, meetings are helpful for a number of reasons.
A big part of SEO these days is social media marketing. A meeting gives you the chance to discuss which social media websites to go for (or you could tweet on all of them) and their knowledge of SMM. Sites like Linkedin are more professional, Tik Tok is more for fun, all are different in their own ways.
We have put together some SEO advice and tips if you wanted to know more.
Since COVID-19 meetings are less popular over a ZOOM meeting, however you do get better communication at a face to face meeting.
Since there are so many SEO agencies in Kent, choosing the right one is hard. All their websites look attractive, and all profess to being the best. We feel a meeting allows you the chance to cut through the marketing and find one you are comfortable working with as a partner.

Choosing a marketing company is difficult, as there are so many to choose from.
