Search engine optimisation, better known as SEO, is driven by ever-changing search engine algorithms, from social influence to local search relevancy. It requires an eye for detail and a sound understanding of the latest strategies required to generate success from it. When someone searches for something online, Google attempts to display the most relevant, trusted/authoritative and informative pages at the top of its search results pages. By having your website optimised for search queries relative to the services or products that you offer, there's a very good chance that you'll get the first bite at the cherry (i.e. rank higher than your competitor's websites).

Ripple Effect is a Google Certified Partner
Many website owners believe in the 'build it and they will come' theory when it comes to a website. Having a modern website with all of the trimmings will help convert your visitors into paying customers, however if no one can find it online, it's worthless to you. Consequently, you will miss out on traffic, enquiries, sales, bookings and business to your competitors.
Unfortunately, most web design companies in Tauranga and throughout New Zealand don't include SEO as part of the actual website build. They either don't have the expertise to carry it out, or they're simply doing what good web designers do - build websites. Competition among websites exists in every industry online, some more than others. By getting Write Ahead to fulfil your SEO requirements, you ensure that your website gets the leap on your competitors.
THE DOUBLE EDGED SWORD EFFECT
When we implement SEO processes, we don’t just look at it from a Google perspective. We are equally focused on improving the visitor experience as much as increasing your website’s authoritativeness in the eyes of Google.
This could involve changes to your navigation menu, breaking up text with appealing images or bullet points, adding calls to action, as well as other improvements that will assist with more interaction and conversions. At the end of the day, we want people to find your website and then act on your information once they get there. We have your best interests at heart.
Nearly all of Ripple Effect's SEO work is generated through referrals. During our initial conversation we will listen to your current and future online objectives. We will then assess your website and carry out an SEO health check. From this, we will provide you with a tailored SEO proposal which we recommend based on your website's SEO requirements and your level of competition.
Once we've identified all of the important keywords that relate to each of your target pages, we will generate a report that includes each of these and will physically check and document your rankings alongside each keyword.
