A services company with master-level SEO consultants (experts where the average staff analyst has over 20,000 hours of experience) and a record of doing very difficult mission-critical SEO projects. This is an agency that is above the rest and can do projects too important to trust to others.

Your first step when looking for a really qualified SEO services agency is to select one that provides truly expert-level SEO services and SEO training and proprietary SEO tools so that they are more than just talk. Select an SEO services company to drive search traffic to your website from the top of the search results. Experts focus on the projects where you cannot afford to do it over or get it wrong.

MOST SEO agencies are not experts. Most hire people with a couple of years of experience (if that), falsely give them inflated titles of Senior Analyst, SEO Managers, or another honorary title, and assign them to your projects. Most just run tools and fix design and superficial errors. Very few can do a deep dive to solve real problems. In fact, most just throw content at a problem. Funny how when the only tool in your tool kit is a hammer every problem looks like a nail. This will not consistently get you into the top-3 out of 10 million results.

You need SEO experts, or you are wasting your money.

So, what is SEO? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of using various strategies to improve a website’s visibility and increase traffic in unpaid, algorithm-driven search engine results.

The main goal of SEO is to improve a website’s ranking on search engine results pages by fulfilling users’ search intent with relevant, high-quality, and authoritative content while providing the best possible user experience. The techniques used in SEO include on-page edits, off-page techniques, web server changes, and an understanding of Google RankBrain, EEAT, and other AI systems. That is what this free SEO guide does – it lays out the steps to success for your SEO project.

In the ever-changing world of search engine optimization, one goal remains constant: more traffic. The higher a site ranks on a search engine results page as seen by a user, the more traffic the site can receive. For an overview of SEO read our SEO Guide and Why and How to do SEO pages.

Three basic questions need to be answered: Got Wisdom? Got Experts? Got Results? Basically, if you have none of these, then you will fail, but if you have all three, then success is yours.

And experts make a big difference. They will develop a strong strategy and a first-time winning tactical plan, will guide your services to a successful project, and as a team with you, they make sure your custom needs are met. No two sites are alike, and being wise and agile is the only winning combination.

Our SEO services are always tailored to match the needs of the client. And most rates are negotiable.

SEO Consulting Services

Flexible consulting program with mentoring.

Our wide range of SEO services is designed to find opportunities for organic growth over the long term. Clients typically want to consult as a retainer program.

Our SEO consulting services are for companies that would find external expertise and guidance useful. We will work with you to provide your company with the knowledge to create and maintain a search engine-rewarded site.

This is an excellent project type to handle the “rabbit hole” research and to resolve issues needing a deep dive. We tailor your consulting program based upon your needs, in-house capabilities, and intent.

We just had our regularly scheduled conference call with the BCI staff about BenefitsCafe.com, and I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Our website is doing very, very well in competitive search terms because of the great work that BCI does. Our organic results are ever-improving and staying at the top. So, I just want to say thank you. BCI Rocks!

SEO Site Audit

In-depth site analysis and prioritized report.

A Bruce Clay site audit gives you an in-depth evaluation and report of issues hindering ranking, prioritized for strategic implementation.

This is not a push-a-button cheap service. It is designed to uncover deeper issues that, when resolved, will change the client’s business. As an SEO agency, we are focused on providing expert services that are unequaled. That is our reputation and brand, and our audit is our flagship service.

We have a long checklist of items that we manually check as part of what takes about 160 work hours (sometimes less and often more) over a comprehensive 6-month detection and implementation program. We check on-page, off-page, server, competitors, mobile, and more to produce several reports and a prioritized task list.

Our belief is that we do not need to impress you — you will have already chosen us. So anything that is a show stopper, red flag, or even a smoking gun is an alert. And if there is a dead body, we jump up and down and set off sirens.

The audit is a 10-week process as part of a 6-month project performed by one of our senior analysts (an average of 10+ years of industry experience). At 4 weeks, we give a preliminary findings report with things discovered that should be fixed now. It is based on some of the immediate-need items discovered in our initial research phase. Then at 8 to 10 weeks, we provide the actual audit report, which includes architecture and project items. The final report discusses what is wrong, why it matters, how to fix it (yes, actual guidance), the severity and priority. Commonly 80 to 120 pages, this is a roadmap for your SEO project.

After delivery of the report and discussions of the findings, we work with your team for three months. During that time we mentor, consult, and confirm the implementation of our findings. (Yes, you receive real guidance for implementation.) When we deliver the final report (and we cannot predict how large it will be … our largest was 272 pages), it contains a severity/priority list of things to do. When the changes are made, we then need to confirm them. Tasks are often partially or improperly done, so validation by the audit crew is useful. Also, sometimes design comes back with “cannot do that on our system,” so we then dig deeper and develop another solution or even a compromise. There will possibly be a “rabbit hole” section identifying issues requiring more research. (A rabbit hole is a hole in the ground and you have no idea how deep it is or where it leads.) Sometimes, that is where there is an issue to be resolved, and so we dig deeper.

With prioritized to-dos in hand, clients can plan their organic strategy.

This service sets our SEO agency ahead of the competition. A site audit enables SEO services clients to quickly learn what the search engines consider important. This report takes approximately 8 to 10 weeks to produce, with suitable time provided for discussion.

SEO Block Services

Short projects tailored to your exact needs.

For small projects, we offer SEO consulting services on a time basis … you buy hours.

This is an ask-us-anything program designed for questions, projects and just as backup to your team. You identify particular needs or questions, and we research and suggest the answers. It is generally used for tasks like “is our siloing correct,” “can you review my site migration,” or “Is my backlink profile good.” SEO blocks are intended for specific projects, but anything in SEO is acceptable.

Astounded? We had outstanding guidance—thank you so much! Let’s find more things to fix.

What SEO strategies can we implement to increase organic traffic?

Businesses can utilize several strategies to increase organic traffic, maximize brand recognition, and bolster SEO. Each of these plans is supported by relevant information and insightful statistics.

Researching targeted keywords is one of the key strategies for increasing organic traffic to your website. By finding relevant and high-volume keywords in your industry, you can create content that addresses user search intent more directly. Moz conducted a study that revealed websites using long-tail keywords typically saw click-through rates of 3-5% more on average.

Content Optimization: Both search engines and users will benefit from optimizing elements on a webpage, including meta tags, headings, and URL structure. Content that is properly optimized improves search engine rankings while simultaneously improving the user experience – according to industry research, businesses that regularly blog attract 55% more visits than those that don’t; this underscores the value of optimizing content.

Link “Building”: Link acquisition is an essential part of increasing brand recognition and search engine rankings. Acquiring links from authoritative websites will enhance visibility and credibility on the web; a recently conducted study showed that websites with more inbound links tend to rank higher in search results, underscoring the value of an effective link acquisition strategy. Note that our approach is link attracting and that in many cases link “building” can be against search engine guidelines.

Mobile Optimization: With more and more users accessing websites from mobile devices, optimizing it for mobile is becoming ever more crucial. Google gives priority to mobile-friendly sites in its search results; optimizing for mobile is therefore a key SEO strategy. According to Statista reports, mobile devices will account for over 50% of global website traffic by 2021; thus highlighting their importance as organic traffic sources.

Content Marketing: By producing valuable and engaging content for your website and brand, you can draw organic traffic and boost brand recognition. A content strategy that includes video can have an enormous impact on SEO efforts. Content marketing generates three times more leads than conventional strategies – showing its ability to attract organic traffic.

Social Media Integration: Integrating SEO efforts with social media will boost both traffic and brand awareness. Sharing optimized content on social media platforms shows that 54% of users conduct product research via social media – further emphasizing the significance of including this medium into SEO strategies.

Local SEO Optimization is essential for businesses that wish to target local audiences. Local SEO can be significantly increased by using location-specific keywords on your website and maintaining consistency in online directories and listings. another recent study shows that over 90% of consumers look online for local businesses; this underlines just how critical local SEO optimization is.
