A history and understanding of why should hire Dapper Web Designs for SEO
SEO is a continual process and not a one-time optimization
Search Engine Optimization used to be much easier. We would enter some meta keywords and Google would match those keywords when you searched for something and gave you the results. Those days are long gone and for a good reason!
As with many things, some ruined it for all. “Blackhat” SEO web developers started employing “tricks” such as keyword stuffing, and search results were no longer working for what the user was searching for. Google, and other top search engines, made drastic changes years ago and continue to make a huge number of changes to their algorithms still today.
For us, as the ones querying search engines, it’s wonderful since we now get quality, useful search results and we can find what we need quickly. But for web developers, it can be a nightmare to try to keep up with the many changes and often ambiguous set of SEO “rules” that sometimes make no sense. This is why when dealing with SEO we can help you with most things, but you may need to hire a professional.
If we built your website, you already have a firm foundation with SEO built within. If you have an existing website that was self-created using a site builder or designed by another developer, our first step will be to fully analyze your site. This also includes a review of your hosting platform, domain names, SSL certificates, integrated programs, and other tech aspects. Once the initial analysis is complete, we will report our recommendations to you.
SEO is a continual process and not a one-time optimization. Search Engines, code technologies, and best practice standards often change. To remain compliant you must have someone working for you to reap the benefits of SEO. We offer quarterly SEO packages to ensure you are up to date and your site is not lagging in search engine results.
