SEO – The Essentials
There are essentially four key elements that you should be worried about when thinking about an SEO campaign.
Proper Keyword Research and Implementation - Conducting a proper and thorough keyword research is the only first step that makes sense. You are, after all, optimising a website for search engines and the only way that “real humans” use to find whatever it is they are looking for is by means of using keywords or phrases. Perhaps this could change in the future, but for now, this is the key ingredient to a good SEO campaign. Learn as much as you can about conducting keyword research and remember to target for “less competitive” keywords, specially when you are just in the beginning.

2. Content Development – You may often seen a lot of times the phrase – “content is king”. Your sites content is paramount to success and the way you structure and present your content can make or break your online marketing efforts in a lot of ways. It is without a doubt that search engines prefer quality over quantity and needless to say that delivering only great and high quality content will ultimately be responsible for your website having more traffic that is relevant for your online business’s success. You need to learn how to write optimised content, without hampering turning the text into unreadable copy, for example, “Here at Verve, web design Shropshire, we can also supply SEO campaigns” this gets across a lot of our key words but it isn’t very reader friendly.
3. Web Development – Content may be “king” but a poorly structured and technically flawed theme or coding, can equally be damaging for your website. Plan ahead as to what theme and navigational structure will suit your needs bests and try to stick to it for the long run. Changing themes often can and will hurt your rankings.
4. Link Building – Having covered the core aspect of on-page SEO, it’s time to away fro your site and apply off-site or off-page SEO. Building inbound links is also very important and while there are several link building techniques, remember that again, that it is quality that counts and not quantity. The key factor to remember is that the quality and relevance of your inbound links are what matter most. Focus on receiving fewer, higher-value links, rather than lots of low-quality or irrelevant links.
