SEO

Search Engine Optimization is the practice of ranking a website on the search engines to increase its visibility when users search for relevant keywords and queries.

For example, if you search “SEO St.Vincent”, you will realize that we are among the top search results. 

Yes, absolutely. SEO offers a way to increase traffic to your website without paying for ads. With a solid SEO strategy, your investments have the opportunity to repay itself 2x+ over.

Google, in particular, uses 200 ranking factors in determining who will rank number 1. However, to ultimately be good at SEO, you need to ensure that your content is the most relevant result for a specific search query and that your website is seen as a trustworthy source. 

It depends. Unfortunately there isn’t a definitive time frame for when your site will rank.

Ranking could take between six months and one year, but this is very much based on the level of resources you allocate to your strategy, the level of competition, and what others who compete for the same queries are doing.

It might only take a few months to rank for a local term (e.g., physician in [location]), whereas it could take years to rank a new website for “plumbers”.

Nobody really knows google’s algorithm but it is believe that following are very relevant: 

• Direct website visits 
• Time on site
• Pages per session
• Bounce Rate
• Domain referral links
• Content
• Keywords

Yes. SEO is like working out. If you workout consistently over a period of time, then you will be in good shape. If you stop for a month then you’ll still be good but not as fit as before. SEO is an ongoing strategy. Likewise, if your competitors “train” harder than you, they will outrank you.
