Search
Engine Optimization (SEO)
Keyword
Analysis: To determine the exact words
and phrases that people are using to find your
products
and services, The Marion Group executes a Keyword
Analysis. Relevant keywords and the number of
searches performed
per month for each keyword are compiled onto the
Master Keyword List. We also look at your competitor
sites to find
more keyword opportunities. From this analysis, we
use only most favorable keywords to build the content
for your site.
Search
Engine Optimization (SEO) of Your Site Content: The
Marion Group interviews your company and/or key
employees to develop search engine
friendly
content for your website. Search engine optimized
(SEO) text
consists of 250 – 300
words
per page incorporating the appropriate placement,
prominence and frequency
of keywords.
Each
page is uniquely optimized for the content of the page. More

Persuasive
Content: It is one thing to get traffic
to your site, it is another thing to convince visitors
to contact you and become customers. This is an important
aspect of content frequently missed by typical SEO
services. The Marion Group content developers write
content to get your site top ranking on search engines
and write compelling content to persuade visitors to
phone or email you.

Once your site is launched, it is time to submit it
to search engines and directories.

Submit
to Directories: The Marion Group submits your
site to the top three directories. Two of them are
fee-based and the third is free. It is essential to
be on these directories as search engines consider
sites listed on them when determining rankings. We
also submit to specialty directories depending on your
industry.

Yahoo! Site Match service to get your Home page listed
in the Yahoo search engine and others within 7 days.

Online
Yellow Pages: If your business has a local
focus, The Marion Group ensures that you have listings
and
top-listed ads on the major online Yellow Pages for
Yahoo, Google, MSN and others.
Link
Popularity: Link popularity can literally
make or break a site with search engines, yet developing
a powerful link strategy is one of the most difficult
areas of Internet marketing.

"Link
popularity" generally refers to the number and
quality of the incoming links to your site –the
fact that other sites consider your site important
enough to link to it. Search engines put a high premium
on a site’s link popularity and use link popularity
in evaluating rankings. As already mentioned, links
have to be of good quality, such as coming from authoritative
sites, respected directories or industry hub sites.
The
Marion Group can put together a powerful link popularity
campaign that your competitors will find difficult
to beat. We find the authoritative sites in your
industry and use proprietary software to find what
sites link to your competitor sites. Then, we pursue
the quality links that will raise the link popularity
of your site.
