SEO · Search Engine Optimization

None or Poorly designed SEO is going fishing with no bait.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has a major impact on how people find things on the web; it is often misunderstood and easily misleading. Many SEO companies promise top rankings or unachievable results for a very high price. Ranking number one on Google and Bing is a challenge that only thousands of dollars can achieve and most often it is a rotating occasion, while other times it is a ghost town with you waiting for visitors. If ranking number one was easily attained everyone would all be there! — which is in fact not possible.

Google gives 10 measly spots on the first page in their organic search results making it impossible to "guarantee" a #1 ranking; however, DAVENPORT WEBSITE DESIGNS can greatly improve your chances using our proven SEO tools and technology to achieve the highest ORGANIC rankings possible.

A website's organic ranking is based on a combination of factors.

• Properly coded HTML5 structure
• Correct Image and Header tags
• Age of website.
• Social Site interconnectivity.
• Good content with a weblog.

Most non-technical people and the CMS website platforms cannot handle, cover, or even understand the nuances of SEO and add a bit of standard code and think it will work — IT DOES NOT!

DWD will increase your online presence — for the search terms you want to be found with — which will bring more quantified users to your website.

Rank me · Show me · Find me

Properly designed and implemented SEO is essential for your internet presence — the whole reason for putting up a website is to have people go there; if they cannot find you, or know you exist, there is no reason for you to have a website — you are just wasting your time and money. A website with none or poorly designed Search Engine Optimization is like going fishing with no bait or movement on your fishing pole. It is out there, but no one notices it.

SEO is the mechanism of altering the visibility of a website in a search engine's “organic” or un-paid search results. Our goal is to fully optimize your website for all of the major keywords for your respective niche. Above all, the higher you rank on the search results page and the more frequently you appear in the search results list, the more traffic your website will receive — most people click links on the first few pages of results.

We are not going to tell you that we can get you ranked #1 your first 1 month like other companies, because it cannot be done. Your SEO and Keywords ranking must be developed over time: weeks, months, and years.

Domain Age Before Beauty! You might be surprised to learn that domain age is a factor in the search engine algorithm. Older domains have a history, and their content is looked at as more credible than the website that got started last week. Older domains sometimes get the edge in search results.

It does not matter how much money you throw at your SEO needs. You need to generate trust from the search engines by proving your validity, legitimacy, and prevalence of your website, posts, connectivity, and identity and that takes time, and initiating the right tools to begin establishing that trust, and then, higher rankings.

Brand, Company, Service, and Community Identity does not come easy, nor does it come by putting something up and hoping it does something good; building a reputable, popular, and trusted identity takes interaction and care to optimize the right keywords and phrases for your Identity.

Lean, Clean, Optimized Machine

Search Engine Optimization is not difficult to understand or implement, but it can be complicated and time consuming; there are many elements that effect Search Engine rankings: longevity of website, content, titles, image names, alt tags, social connection to your website, name brand and identity links from other — more established — websites, and so many others.

When optimizing your website we may target different kinds of searches including image, local, video, academic, news, and industry-specific vertical search engines. As an experienced Website Design company DAVENPORT WEBSITE DESIGNS considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines, and many other factors.

Be Patient! You may have done every single thing right, but your site is still not showing up in the search engines. Why? Because it takes time for the search engines to index and rank your site (especially for new domains). So, be patient.

It also could be the keywords that you are trying to target are very competitive. Remember, you are competing with over 500 million plus websites on the internet not including pages on those sites.

SEO Copywriting Services

Writing for both search engines and human readers at the same time requires a special kind of literary finesse. The copy has to contain enough keywords to be worthwhile for search rankings, while holding enough readable value for a user. Too much of one and your website receives less-than-optimal results, either due to lack of reader interest or search engine rankings. At DAVENPORT WEBSITE DESIGNS, we utilize both copywriting and campaign management techniques to enhance a website's rankings and readership, creating a combination that helps you crawl up the search results.

Keyword Density, Internal Links, User Readability, Valued Content, Off-site Articles, and Blogging

You need copy that cultivates a positive impression with customers while enhancing your ranking; Davenport Website Designs is equipped with the creative know-how to utilize the latest search engine standards for you to get noticed and found.
