Suntec's search engine optimization process involves a series of complex process
and analysis like market surveys, web log file analysis, html code analysis,
defining proper theme/layout, research into keywords, content enrichment, proper
website design and strategic search engine submission to ensure the presence of
your website on the Internet. Our SEO process is customized for each of the
individual search engines in order to achieve these high ranking levels.
Following are some
fundamental steps we follow during the process of
Search Engine Optimization:
Website Analysis & Evaluation
Benchmarking
Benchmarking is the continuous process of identifying,
understanding, and adapting outstanding practices against strong competitors or
recognized industry leaders to help your website improve its performance.
Benchmarking requires a measurement mechanism so
that the performance "gap" can be identified.
Our Benchmarking process shall ensure that we get the right
start by various analysis we implement to attain top search engine rankings.
During this process your website shall be closely observed and analyzed mainly
concentrating on the domain area you specialize.
Competition Analysis
This step involves making a list of your competitors and visiting
their website to closely observe and analyze various techniques used by them.
This would help in preparing a strategy to be used to implement
various other steps required to attain top rankings and would help your website
to maximize its performance in search engines.
Website Study
The next step after Benchmarking and Competition Analysis is to
analyze your website as to how closely is it related to these previous
analysis. We study the structure of your website and compare the same with that
of your competitors to give us an idea of how the optimization process should
be.
During the Website Study process, we will also plan and design
a layout for your website to make it more search engine friendly.
Extensive Keyword Research
Identify & Defining Keywords
Careful research into keyword phrases is an essential step
towards a successful SEO campaign. The question is how do we know what phrases people use when
they search for information online? This is where "keyword research" tools come
into picture. We use Wordtracker and Overture Suggestion Tool to get the best
possible and most frequently used keyword phrases for your website.
These tools allow a user to type in a keyword or keyword phrase
and find out how often those phrases are searched for on various search engines
and directories. The best part of these tools are that they offer up alternate
keyword phrases which are frequently used and you might have missed considering
them for your SEO campaign.
Selecting the best suited keywords
After the initial keyword
analysis, we will collect all such keywords which we consider
will match your business requirements and send you a complete report of the same
for your final confirmation on the keywords.
You will then have to select the best keywords in the order of
importance and send us the same so that we optimize the pages according to those
keywords to attain maximum results.
Website Optimization
Content Analysis
This step would involve reviewing the content of your
website (especially the home page). We shall ensure that the content we change will be search
engine friendly retaining its original meaning.
HTML Code Refining
HTML Code Refining is a process where we analyze and review the
code for all your web pages and simultaneously fix all the errors. During this
process we will remove all the unwanted codes considered to be spam. We manually
fine tune each web page and remove redundant html codes which are automatically
created during the time of design.
Image Optimization
Image Optimization is one of the main element in today's SEO
process which most of them tend to neglect. From search engine perspective,
downloading time is a factor which is now considered in their ranking algorithms.
Hence, our SEO's will optimize each image on your website to reduce its size, yet
retaining its quality and resolution to ensure that the pages load quickly.
Meta Tags
Developing meta tags is one of the most important and difficult
task in the entire SEO process. Based on the ongoing analysis and keywords our
SEOs shall form an optimal class of meta tags combining <title>,
considered to be the most important tag as far as search engine ranking is
concerned, <description> and <keyword>.
This process will continue, where we develop meta tags for each
web page on your site concentrating on each product or service that is described
on the page, thus covering a wide array of keywords.
Link Building Campaigns
Reciprocal Link Building
The most important aspect in today's search engine ranking
algorithm is the advent of link popularity. Search engines are always developing
ways to make their results more relevant. In the last couple of years, links
have become increasingly more important to the engines because they see links as
an endorsement of your site by other website's.
This process will setup the complete link categories, link
pages and configure the same with your server so that the pages reside on your
server. We then request links from high quality sites (Google Page Rank 4 and
greater) which are relevant or complimentary to your website for reciprocal
links. This is an ongoing process which involves communication and daily
maintenance.
Non-reciprocal Link Building
We place your site's link on all the web-directories related to
your business that provide a link without asking for a reciprocal link.
Search Engine Submission
One time paid submission
After we finish our optimization process the next step is to
execute the submissions. Our one time paid submissions will ensure that your
site is registered in search engines like MSN, HotBot, Altavista,
Askjeeves/Teoma, Overture, About, Lycos and AlltheWeb.
To include your site in these search engine we need to pay them
an up front half yearly (for some) or yearly charges.
Regular Manual Submission
After we execute our paid submissions, our SEO's shall categorize your
website and submit manually each page of your site to various search engines
like Google, Altavista (manual submission), AOL and directories like DMOZ
(Netscape) etc.
Together with our paid submissions our manual submissions which goes on
monthly we will ensure that your website will stay there on the search engine
indices consistently.
Monitoring & Maintenance
Fine tune & re-optimization
Your ranking in the search engines will constantly fluctuate
for a variety of reasons. New sites are added and dropped from the index. We
have to monitor your competition and note the changes which results in a new
position for them. The search engines also frequently change their algorithm.
The list goes on and on.
Consequently, once you've achieved a high ranking we need to
regularly monitor your position and 'tweak' your web pages if necessary. This
process ensures that we fine tune your website for constant search engine
rankings. We also re-optimize the web pages to meet the present search engine
criteria.
Reports & Tracking
Ranking Reports
After the successful completion of our SEO Campaign, we shall
send you the first ranking report which displays your top keywords and the
rankings for them on each of the search engines. This ranking report will be
sent to you on a monthly basis for no additional cost.
Submission Reports
After we execute our paid submissions and manual submissions,
we shall send you a report of the same for your kind reference. These submission
reports which depicts the manual submissions of each page of your website will
be sent to you on a monthly basis for no additional cost.
Traffic Reports
Apart from the ranking reports and submissions reports we will also be sending you
the complete traffic report which depicts various type of results related to the
type of visitors arriving your site, number of visitors at each hour,
demographic oriented reports, bandwidth report, search engine traffic and much
more.
