SEO Services Christchurch
If you are looking for some SEO services in Christchurch, then I’d love to help you. My name is Ben and I’m here to talk about Team Empathy.
I run this amazing SEO agency in Christchurch and we're all about helping people and making their lives easier. We want to make finding the right people and companies in Christchurch easier than ever.
And what does that mean? People are constantly searching for Christchurch businesses, just like the one you run. Swimming lessons, hairdresser, accounting, dog walking - people are always searching for the ways you have to help them.
You make sure you’re showing up on their search results and help them find you. Eventually, you enable them to solve their problem, to have the question onset, and in doing so, you get to help them.
Obviously, the byproduct of your business growth is a bigger impact on the world. But it's my strong belief that we're all in business to be helping others.
And you can start doing that by showing up on the first page of Google results or even the first three results, which gets 75% of all the clicks. Showing up here, you are helping people solve their key problems as well as getting hundreds or thousands more visitors to your website every single month, which is huge for your business.
Our Christchurch SEO Process
So how do we do that? There are actually three key growth areas and used correctly they will simply make your organic growth explode and will rocket you to the top of Google. They are:
Google Business Profile optimisation
Website optimisation
Creating content and backlink strategy and implementation plan
If you do those, you will rank for whatever search terms in Christchurch you are going after. And I can guarantee: if you are looking for an SEO agency or SEO services in Christchurch you need to find someone who can help you with these three key growth leavers.
Google Business Profile
You need to make sure your Google Business Profile listing is thoroughly optimised. How to do that? You start by accessing your Google Business Profile and starting to optimise all the information you can enter there. The first and most important thing is obviously the title of your business: it should state who you are, what you do, and where you do it. Moving on, you optimise the primary business category, making sure you hit just the right keyword and letting Google crawl you for it. If you don't have the sorted, you're missing out on so much visibility and so much traffic, because you're simply not there.
Next: your images. Before uploading any new images to your Google Business Profile listing, you always have to geo-tag and keyword-tag them. I use a perfect tool for that - GeoSetter. It allows me geotag images, so it sits in my location, which helps me with my Christchurch SEO and then I keyword tag every photo. Your last task: you need to add products and optimise all of those as well.
So you need to go through each and every section of Google Business Profile and optimise everything. And there’s always someone who can help you do that.
Website Optimisation
The second important part of search engine optimisation in Christchurch is optimising your own pages. You need to go through every single page and post on your website and make sure that your titles, meta descriptions, meta-tags, and all that kind of information is present and adds up so that when Google crawls your website, it can understand exactly what you do.
There's a whole bunch of work here to add descriptions. Then add H1 tags, titles, website content with the right keywords, and set alt tags on all your images, which basically means you name what they are, so people who need help reading or Google can understand exactly what's in them.
You also need to fix your website speed, solve all the errors and all related technical issues.
Content and backlink strategy and implementation plan
Once all of this is sorted, you need to start creating a content and backlink strategy, which means regular blog postings and backlink creation.
Regular posting is the key: you need to be talking about your services or products while explaining how you can solve people's problems and answer their questions.
Creating a content plan, we break it into three categories, three topic clusters, and we write on those main ideas. Let’s take a few examples. If you're a dog walker, you might talk about dog walking, you might talk about dog nutrition, and you might talk about dog training. If you're an accountant, you might talk about bookkeeping, about accounting journals, and about business growth and readiness. You can break those topics down into whatever you need, but you need to be talking about the keywords that people are searching for and you need to be genuine in your writing.
Alongside that, you also need to create and follow a backlink plan. This is why it's the same key lever: you need to be building backlinks and building content at the same time and you need to be consistent with both. So consistently posting blogs, and then consistently adding however many backlinks you do per month.
Let’s take an example of one of my SEO Christchurch clients. Every month we consistently build 20 to 30 backlinks for them from a range of different high authority websites. That's really, really important as well.
