Have you ever wondered if there’s an easier way of being found on Google other than hiring an SEO specialist or Agency? Furthermore, you might even be asking if it’s possible to do SEO yourself.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> So, the answer to the question is YES. We believe it is possible to do SEO yourself. However, there are some key factors to take into consideration. In this blog post, we will look at what is required for you to perform your own SEO. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/span>Let’s get started!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t \u00a0<\/span>Search Engine Optimisation is the act of making sure that your website has to be optimised for your product or service to show up in searches.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> SEO plays an integral part in the digital marketing mix because ultimately it helps with a website\u2019s conversion rate. Furthermore, it works together in conjunction with other digital marketing strategies, like paid campaigns.\u00a0 We go into this in further detail in one of our blog posts, <\/span>“What is SEO”.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> You might ask, “but what if I am already running a paid campaign and I’m getting lots of traffic”? That’s a good question, and we cover this in the article <\/span>“Paid vs Organic”<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/span>However, what really matters is the retention of the traffic to your website. More importantly, the more organic (free) traffic you can generate, the better it is for your marketing budget.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> By understanding SEO and how search engine optimisation works, you will be in a much better position to perform the necessary optimisation tasks yourself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> As entrepreneur Wendy Piersall says; <\/span>“Google only loves you when everyone else loves you first.”\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \u00a0<\/span>If you choose to do SEO yourself, you’ll require <\/span>some technical knowledge<\/span><\/b> of the\u00a0programming functions. However, you do not necessarily need to do a course in coding. Besides, many of the templated websites today provide instructions, guidance, and tools to optimise your website SEO.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> There are four critical areas of SEO to understand. These are <\/span>on-page, off-page, technical and local SEO.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Knowledge and educating yourself on these fundamental areas will put you in the right direction to perform the necessary tasks to optimise your sites.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The digital marketing landscape is constantly evolving, and therefore it is essential to remember to be consistent and keep up to date with your SEO knowledge. We highly recommend gaining an overall understanding or education of best SEO practices. In particular, how to pull together all the elements required to bring more organic traffic to your website successfully.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Search Engine Optimisation is a continuous process that requires constant updating and monitoring. It is possible to do it yourself if you learn as much as you can about SEO best practices.\u00a0 In addition, be prepared to dedicate the time and be patient in order to implement the changes to your website.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Whatever you decide to do, a good solid understanding of any digital marketing practice will always be <\/span>advantageous for your business website<\/span><\/a>.
