What is content optimization?

If you want to maximize the chances of your online content appearing in search-related queries – and picking up more organic search traffic – you need to make sure it’s implemented properly. That’s just what content optimization will do.

Content optimization is the process of implementing content on web pages to maximize your visibility in search for related queries.

SEO is about understanding the words and phrases people use to find things online, and optimizing digital content in such a way that it meets those queries in prominent locations in search.

It’s not just a question of ensuring a top keyword is included multiple times on a page, but making sure that other related words, phrases or 'proof terms' are included to optimize for query-based searches (for example. “What is content optimization?”)

How can IndianMark optimize my content?

We identify opportunities to improve the optimization of your onsite content using tools like SearchMetrics. This helps us to understand how your competitors are using keywords, and how using different words and phrases can help to improve your search performance to drive traffic and conversions - and the potential value of doing so.

We can also optimize digital content for different types of search results. Increasingly, Google search results display reviews, opening times and business information. We can implement schema and microdata to help get this information into search results, driving higher click-through rates.

Backlink analysis

Backlinks are one of the most important factors in SEO ranking – great ones will increase your chances of ranking well, while a weak backlink profile could lead to poor performance. Our backlink analysis identifies your strengths and weaknesses.

Understanding the health of your website’s backlink profile is more important now than ever.

However, if your backlink profile is weak, has been manipulated or maliciously attacked in any way, then your website could be susceptible to poor performance and search engine penalties.

A backlink analysis allows us to identify both strengths and weaknesses within your link profile. This enables us to:

  • Identify and remove unnatural or toxic links where necessary
  • Ensure that your website’s backlink profile follows best practice guidelines and avoids algorithmic or manual penalties
  • Create an approach to earning the right types of links for your SEO campaign
