SEO optimization is like a marathon – the recipe for success involves strategy, patience, and perseverance. In both cases, results are built over time through consistent efforts and adjustments based on performance. Thus, patience and consistency are essential to reach the finish line and achieve sustainable results.
The notion of SEO optimization has changed drastically in recent years, now including User Experience (UX) and online marketing indicators. And we keep up: we perfectly understand what is happening now and what is coming next. Here's how we work!
At iAgency.ro, our 16+ years of experience in the market, specialized team, and hundreds of national and international clients have allowed us to create a unique workflow for SEO optimization. Even though it is customized based on the specifics and requirements of each client (online store / presentation site), the fundamental steps remain the same:
From the moment we first contact your business, we start "dissecting" and understanding everything about it: field of activity -> competition -> market position (leader, newcomer, etc.) -> SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) -> short, medium, and long-term predictions, etc.
Only by fully understanding your business can we outline a complete, textbook SEO optimization strategy, as you'll see further on. We don't change what's already working and don't apply recipes that don't work in the online environment!
Fully understanding your business allows us, thanks to the know-how we've accumulated since 2008, to anticipate how SEO will unfold, what optimization strategy to adopt from the start, and how to get your site to the top of Google in a short time.
With the help of specialized tools, we search for the most suitable keywords and 3-4 word key phrases (long tails) for the SEO optimization of your website.
These decisions, which we will of course discuss with you before implementation, are based on the products/services you offer, your business's position in the market, location, etc. In other words, depending on opportunities, we will either choose "strong" keywords from the start or craft an initial SEO strategy targeting local keywords or those with fewer Google searches but which can climb quickly in rankings.
A poorly conducted keyword research would result in a Sisyphean SEO optimization effort, generating few results but much frustration on both sides. Thus, we make the right decisions... win-win!
The link architecture represents the "skeleton" of your site, encompassing all category, subcategory links, etc., ordered by importance (from the homepage to the last page of the site), along with the keywords associated with each.
Once we have everything written down, we send you the architecture for approval, and then we start creating or improving the existing content on the site. By targeting specific phrases on each page, we ensure that both Google fully understands the content and users find exactly what they're looking for when conducting a search.
A highly specialized approach, where we leave nothing to chance, ensures that we save time and produce visible effects and "tectonic shifts" in Google from the first weeks of collaboration. Search engine optimization rewards those who don't take shortcuts!
At iAgency.ro, we scrutinize your site down to the smallest details before starting the actual SEO optimization process (on-page & off-page). Specifically, we scan all pages using the programs we use to find minor or major issues that could affect Google rankings now or in the future.
Following the audit, your site will "forget" about problems like duplicate content, orphaned pages, or 404 errors!
This is also the SEO optimization stage where we gain a very clear understanding of your online store or presentation site's position relative to your competitors: where are you better positioned and can take advantage? -> where is there still a lot of work to catch up? -> how quickly can we expect to surpass them and reach the top?
The audit is just the foundation for the following site analysis processes (which will be carried out continuously). Based on the audit, but also following a manual analysis, we draft a list of technical recommendations for the developer managing the site.
It's very important that these changes are implemented in a timely manner so that we can start the on-page SEO optimization process and off-page communication on "solid ground." Imagine if errors persisted, and we began building an entire "castle" on top of them. Surely, that's not the scenario you want!
As in our team, each person plays a decisive role in the success of the project, and the developer is a central figure in the technical, less visible aspect.
We've "gotten to work"! Unlike the steps above, which take place at the beginning or when there's a problem, on-page SEO, off-page, and technical SEO optimization are continuous processes. We work daily on each project in our portfolio, depending on the initially agreed volume or needs.
On-page SEO includes creating or improving meta tags (meta title & meta description), headings (H1, H2, H3...), and the content of each page, especially the important ones, such as the homepage and main category pages, which we will target in off-page optimization.
An impeccably optimized on-page website will remain in Google's top positions for a long time, as it represents the "foundation" of optimization and proof of a sustainable strategy. This is where the difference is made between an experienced SEO promotion agency and freelancers or beginners!
This stage consists of creating and publishing press releases and advertorials on high-authority sites (especially online newspapers).
Thanks to the backlink skillfully inserted by copywriters (to your site), the "host" domain will transfer part of its authority (link juice) to it. Google places link building in a privileged position, and a broad and solid network is undoubtedly a key ranking factor!
Off-page communication also helps create a positive user experience, as they will "encounter" your brand outside of your site and find relevant and useful information. UX is another major ranking factor in Google!
In terms of time and effort invested, off-page SEO optimization represents a significant part of our activity.
We enter the "internal kitchen" of the technical SEO specialists at iAgency.ro – an integrated digital marketing agency! They are up-to-date and know how to use in detail all the dedicated tools and plugins to ensure that your site is always "within parameters"!
Is it secure? -> Does it load quickly enough? -> Is it easy to find and crawl by Google bots? The experts will ensure that the answer to all these questions is a resounding "YES"! And they will constantly monitor your site to ensure things stay that way.
Concepts like sitemap, mobile-first indexing, page speed insights, or 301 redirects are part of the ABCs of technical optimization, but don't worry! Everything we monitor and modify in the "depths" of the website will be translated into terms you understand, so you can continue to hold the reins of the project.
