Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site.
As a small freelance developer, it's very important to provide clients with results that not just meet but exceed expectations.
I recently did some work for John Ferreira of Select Excavation and Landscaping. This season John is not only providing landscaping services, but is providing affordable landscaping materials like bark mulch and screened loam. Since this is his first season providing these materials, John is looking to really make a splash using his website.
As of April 8, 2010, we have been hard at work targeting certain keywords and phrases for the areas John is looking to cover, and have had tremendous success:
Googling just a few examples above, you'll see that Select Excavation and Landscaping and it's associated websites are among the top content on Google's first page. As we continue to monitor Google analytics, we've seen an increase in exposure and traffic, and naturally dozens more people are saving money with John and his material prices. If you would like to visit John's website, you can find it at nhexacavation.com, as well as his pricing for landscaping materials.
