Why a Digital Marketing Plan is Crucial for Successful SEO

Great results start with great planning which is why we produce a great custom digital marketing plan before commencing any SEO.

Creating a digital marketing plan before embarking on SEO is crucial for several reasons:

  1. Clear Objectives: A digital marketing plan helps define your objectives and goals. By understanding what you want to achieve through your SEO efforts, such as increasing website traffic, improving search engine rankings, or generating leads, you can align your SEO strategy accordingly. It provides a roadmap for your SEO activities and ensures that you are working towards specific targets.
  2. Target Audience Identification: A digital marketing plan allows you to identify and understand your target audience. By conducting market research and developing buyer personas, you can gain insights into your customers' demographics, preferences, and behavior patterns. This knowledge helps optimize your SEO strategy to effectively reach and engage your target audience.
  3. Competitive Analysis: A digital marketing plan involves analyzing your competitors' online presence and SEO strategies. Understanding their strengths, weaknesses, and the keywords they target can provide valuable insights for optimizing your own SEO efforts. By identifying gaps or opportunities in the market, you can tailor your SEO approach to stand out from the competition.
  4. Keyword Research: Effective SEO relies on identifying relevant keywords and incorporating them into your website content. A digital marketing plan enables thorough keyword research, allowing you to identify the most valuable and relevant keywords for your business. By targeting the right keywords, you can improve your website's visibility in search engine results and attract organic traffic.
  5. Content Strategy: SEO and content marketing go hand in hand. A digital marketing plan helps you develop a content strategy that aligns with your SEO goals. It ensures that you create high-quality, valuable, and optimized content that resonates with your target audience. By integrating SEO best practices into your content strategy, you can enhance your website's search engine visibility and drive organic traffic.
  6. Resource Allocation: Planning your digital marketing efforts, including SEO, helps allocate resources effectively. It enables you to determine the budget, personnel, and tools required to implement your SEO strategy successfully. With a well-defined plan, you can allocate resources efficiently and ensure that you have the necessary support for executing your SEO initiatives.
  7. Measurement and Evaluation: A digital marketing plan includes metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of your SEO efforts. It helps you set benchmarks, track progress, and evaluate the impact of your SEO activities. By regularly monitoring and analyzing your SEO performance, you can identify areas for improvement, make data-driven decisions, and refine your strategy accordingly.

In summary, a digital marketing plan provides a strategic framework for your SEO initiatives. It helps set clear objectives, identify target audiences, analyze competitors, conduct keyword research, develop a content strategy, allocate resources effectively, and measure performance. By creating a comprehensive plan, you can maximize the effectiveness of your SEO efforts and achieve your digital marketing goals.

Links Building / Toxic Link Removal

Good links are good, but bad links can be really harmful. Just blindly building backlinks is going to be counter productive so it is really important to be done carefully, and ideally organically by producing great content that websites want to link to naturally. It is also important to appropriately deal with links from sites you do not want and are harming your rankings.

E-Marketing Solutions

spIT are one of the few companies that can truly call themselves specialists in website promotion and SEO. We are an organisation that offers search engine positioning services without charging excessive fees. Our knowledge is second to none, having an in-house Internet Marketing expert with many years of experience in this area together with three University Degrees including Marketing and Electronic Commerce, two of them at Masters Level and over a decade of experience in this specialist area.

Our search engine optimisation service is for a maintenance period of 12 months. We initially optimise your website using current 'white hat' methods, then register your site to the major global search engines, spending particular care and attention to the various submission guidelines that these search engines have. Over the 12 months, alterations will be made to various attributes of your websites that will boost the traffic over time. We check your rankings regularly and adjust the site to keep the traffic coming.

If your website has already been developed and you are happy with the overall design, content and structure, we are often able to enhance this for search engine optimsation. However, on occasions it might be that the website would need a significant amount of re-engineering for optimum results. We would let you know if this was the case and you would be provided with the available options; which in the extreme case may be an entire website redesign.

The positioning of your website within various search engine results pages is determined by numerous, and often very complex, 'Algorithms' often specific to an individual search engine. Many search engines and web designers still rely on the basics such as 'Meta-Tags'. However the majority of the high profile search engines use far more, heavily guarded, criteria for website positioning.

There are billions of websites on the Internet nowadays, with the area of search engine positioning becoming increasingly competitive. Simply entering Meta tags such as ‘keywords', ‘titles' and ‘descriptions' into each web page is not enough anymore. Whilst meta tags are a good place to start, Search Engines are far more sophisticated than they used to be and this is why the area of Search Engine Optimisation is such a specialist area.

Whilst ‘Search Engine Positioning' or 'Search Engine Optimisation' is a specialist area of Internet Marketing that can be expensive spIT does have cost effective solutions. For the average website, professional Search optimisation (SEO) can be achieved at a reasonable cost by our experienced Internet Marketer. The costs incurred for Search Engine Optimisation can be recouped many times over during the websites lifespan.

Our website promotion packages are for a period of 12 months. This includes professional website optimisation, search engine submission and advice about future online promotions and tactics that are available.

Spit brought us out of the 20th Century into the 22nd Century in one hit. We cannot speak highly enough of Mike, Claire and their team. We were advised from within “the industry” that it is “impossible” to break free from the ‘industry’ website providers – WRONG! Mike said, “we can do it better” and they did it!. We could not be happier with the results and our ongoing relationship with Spit.
