Our SEO process & what you can expect

What Is The Market Jar SEO Process?

Our technical SEO process refers to all the SEO efforts that will be implemented for your website to gain greater visibility on search engines and stay there ranking.

These are the four pillars of SEO:

• Technical SEO: Ensuring your website is easy for Google to index.
• On-site SEO: Optimizing content for your target keywords.
• Off-Page SEO: Building quality white-hat links to boost your domain authority.
• Content: Creating value-packed content that your potential clients want to see.

SEO is an ever-evolving process that requires constant optimisation of your site, to cater for search engine algorithms, user demand, and competitor activity. Once you initiate it, you need to stick with it to reap the benefits over time.

What does the SEO process look like?

Month 1 – On-boarding + Campaign setup + Strategy creation

What we will need:
– Google Analytics Admin Access
– Google Search Console Admin Access
– Google Business Manager Access
– Google Tag Manager Admin Access
– Website Admin Access

This month is all about onboarding, setting up your campaigns, and uncovering any potential issues and opportunities.
We do this by fixing any immediately significant issues and diving deep into research and data to lay the right foundation for the rest of the campaign.

The first few weeks will be about constructing your marketing strategy, we will document details of everything, and this will be comprehensive. This will then be added to the client-facing portal, and a timeline will be created, along with KPI’s etc.

Depending on the size of your site, and strategy, we front-load as much work as possible to show success quickly.

Monthly Campaign Tasks Thereafter

• Every other month there is an in-house, in-depth review of the campaign. This is to ensure that the future focus areas are still relevant based on real-time performance data and to review the current page-specific optimisations to see if any changes or additional optimisations can be done to help improve the campaign’s performance.

Technical SEO Website Crawl & Review

• While during month 1 we resolve any significant issues with the website, each month we crawl your website to monitor and fix most issues that may arise (such as 404 pages, simple duplicate content, canonical tag issues, etc.)
• For most platforms we can resolve most issues ourselves, however, depending on the CMS, we may need to escalate significant issues to your developers.
• Money page optimisation – constantly enhancing content on money pages, this persuades Google that your page is still alive and highly relevant.
