Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is typically the third step in any new website development with Alpha Mindset. SEO is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine’s "natural" or unpaid ("organic") search results by means of organizing and labeling pages appropriately. In general, the higher ranked (closer to the start of the search page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image, video local databases, news outlets, and vertical market sectors.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Additionally promoting a site on social media to increase the number of back links, or inbound links can aid in SEO. some text

One of the most important was to use SEO to improve your page rankings are through localization or regionalization. When you search for something on the internet there are two ways for a search engine to narrow your results by location; First though location data it can pull from your internet connection; and two by asking for something in a particular location. To use this to our advantage we can create page structure that mimics existing pages, but in a different location based on metadata or location keywords in the page.

Alpha Mindset has become particularly adept at implementing this for franchises that want locations to feel local for their end users, but still have a cohesive brand image across all pages. This actually helps SEO in two ways. First, the Search Engine looking at this assigns more rank to the reference of the location for which the end user is searching. Two, it creates more relevant pages to add to the whole website ranking.

Quite often, a single Keyword can be said a variety of ways. SEO, for example as seen above can be Both Search Engine Optimization and Search engine Organization. Any end user could be searching for either, but we would want them to land on this page none-the-less. It is much easier to create a link that tells a search engine, if someone is looking for Search Engine Organization, please direct them here; rather than create a whole separate page to do just the same.
