Let’s Talk SEO – SEO tips for SME’s

Following on from our blog in the Let’s Talk series, Let’s Talk Research, next up is Let’s Talk SEO.

Many businesses approach Whizz Marketing who have previously invested in SEO and have not seen the results they want and need for their business. We are here to assure you that SEO DOES WORK if applied in accordance with Google’s Best Practice and we always get results for our clients.

Why invest in SEO?

  • Increase brand visibility
  • Increase brand authority
  • Increase leads
  • Increase sales

Google Search Results pages show content from multiple sources

Google is a very competitive marketplace and it has become more challenging for SEO consultants to achieve top positions. Not just because of increased competition, but also due to changes in algorithms and the reduced number of organic listings that now display on Page 1 in Google search results.

The format of the Google Search Results page will vary depending on what you are searching for.

Generally, you will notice that Ads will always appear at the top. You may also see an Ad Image Carousel at the top, and Local Service Ads for Google Guaranteed businesses.

Further down are the local search results. If you have searched on a local business, or are looking for a service, the Google map with a snack pack of listings who rank well will display. This content is feeding from your Google My Business profile.

You may also see a knowledge panel on the right hand side if you search for people, locations, places, objects, brands, events, history, etc. This content is collected by Google from public sources, including Wikipedia and The CIA World Factbook, with millions of objects and billions of relational facts.

The People Always Ask box is often displayed and this shows popular questions and there is opportunity here to get your content displaying in this box if you have an FAQs page with structured data markup applied.

You may also see Top Stories snippets from news and media sites.

Video snippets may also display. Embedding YouTube videos onto your site and applying structured data markup will help your videos achieve rank.
Then, after a user scrolls through all this content, there are the organic search results listings.

So you can see, there is now a lot of space on Page 1 taken up with content from multiple sources, not just websites, and the results are a combination of paid and organic.

    We have been dealing with Louise at Whizz Marketing Services along with the web designer that she kindly recommended we use, we have had nothing but a great experience with Louise from her copywriting to SEO marketing strategies. We are grateful that Louise has been patient with us, ALWAYS delivered what we have asked of her and very quickly too, I am not always the fastest at getting back as I have to check in with two directors before I can make final decisions but again, very patient. I feel Louise completely understood the image we like to portray and the content that she wrote up for our website reflects this. Very happy, will be using Louise for many years to come and will recommend to anybody looking for similar services. Also, recommend the web designer that is recommended by Louise as they work hand in hand with each other perfectly. Brilliant communication, friendly and reliable and local too, so glad we found Whizz!

    Louise has a friendly, professional and efficient approach and is easy to work with. I don’t have time to manage the marketing of the business, so it’s great to have an agency I can rely on to do what is needed to keep the brand visibility high in Google and manage the social profiles.  The stronger online brand presence we now have has definitely contributed to the growth and success of my business. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Whizz Marketing.

    Whizz Marketing was recommended to us by our graphic designer back in 2016. Louise very quickly understood what we wanted to achieve with the rebranding and new website, and worked well with the web developer and graphic designer to help produce a site that not only looked great and clearly defined our brand and ethos, but using her SEO knowledge, she made sure the site worked to attract the right audience, increasing our brand visibility in Google and driving targeted traffic.Louise has continued to provide dedicated support over the years as and when we have needed it. She has been very flexible in her approach and is very easy to work with. She has done a fantastic job for us and I would not hesitate in recommending Whizz Marketing.

    Louise at Whizz Marketing has been a great help to us in the re-design of our website and launch of a new marketing and social media strategy. Louise co-ordinated the website design, build and content on our behalf ensuring everything hit the latest SEO requirements. This provided the launch pad for a new blog and social media strategy, which Louise also managed on our behalf. We’re very happy with the new design and our website performance and traffic KPIs are moving in a very positive direction within a matter of weeks

    Whizz Marketing have more than met my expectations. I was struggling to get my website to a consistently prominent position on internet searches. They have put that right. They are not pushey, they are fairly priced, get results, and ideal for small local businesses. I run Yoga Mind and Body which is based in Camberley but I want to get good results in each of the three areas in which I teach: Deepcut, Hook and Hartley Wintney. I am now going to get Whizz to work with me on more generic local marketing in anticipation that it will yield more people coming to my yoga classes.Many thanks Louise and your team.Namaste, JohnstonJohnston Lowry Founder / Teacher / Yoga Mind and Body
