Black-Hat SEO
With SEO, it has developed over the years & many things that did work in the past are now considered ‘black-hat SEO’. Gone are the days where you can stuff keywords into the page over and over, or pay for random backlinks. I won’t mention the keyword ‘Bournemouth’ over an over either as this will do more harm than good as it won’t sound natural.

This will help you see what keywords you’re being found for in Google. You may find that you have easier & faster results with longer, more specific keywords.
Keywords
A large part of SEO is researching the keywords you want to be found for. I can help you research the keywords your competitors are using & helping you find the easy wins. I can help you find long-tail keywords which are more specific & less competitive. For example ‘Shoes’ is really competitive but ‘Men’s Running Shoes in Bournemouth‘, is less competitive.

Questions About SEO
What is Search Engine Optimisation?
This is the practice of improving a website’s ranking in search engines such as Google and Bing. There are many things you can do on your website to improve this, known as on-page SEO (relevancy). There are also many factors outside of your website, known as off-page SEO (popularity).
How long does it take to rank on page one of Google?
There is no clear answer to this question as every business & industry is different. According to many trusted sources, it’s usually between three & six months.
If you have a unique business in a narrow market where it’s not so competitive it might be faster.
