What is an SEO audit?
An SEO audit is a comprehensive process that seeks to ‘crack your website wide open’ and look into it to see what it’s lacking in terms of SEO as well as what it already has going for it. SEO audits are often conducted either before an SEO process or periodically to see if SEO adjustments have taken root and how much success they’ve had. An SEO audit reports on various critical aspects of a website such as how it’s ranking on various relevant keywords, how it compares to other competitors, how many backlinks it has, and of what quality they are, and more.
How to choose keywords for SEO?
Keywords are chosen by researching existing search trends and patterns. Business owners often do this manually via search engine platforms. However, SEO experts use SEO audit tools such as Google Analytics and Ahrefs software tools to get in-depth keywords for any given niche.
What is an SEO campaign?
An SEO campaign is a process where the client and the SEO provider are working on how to optimize a business for search engine results. In that process there are clearly defined objectives that should be reached. And in some cases the campaign will have a set duration for objectives to be reached and for the entire process to be complete.
Why does SEO take so long?
SEO takes long because it’s a process and not a single event. The work takes weeks and months to complete. For example, finding quality backlinks and adding them onto a client’s website takes time. Creating quality content takes time as well. Developing a new website design also takes time. On and on it goes. When added up, all the processes linked to SEO can gobble up weeks and months to complete. And even when an SEO campaign is complete, SEO really does not stop. Regular content has to be developed every week, links have to be added, and other tweaks have to be made once in a while.
