Search Engine Optimization

BuildingOnline offers a complete Search Engine Optimization (SEO) package which includes to following steps:

Step 1: Keyword Phrase Selection
We'll help you choose 10 keyword phrases that are most relevant to your business, are most likely to be used by potential clients, and have the least number of competing sites. We then use the Wordtracker database to help find the most appropriate and related keyword phrases.

Step 2: Run Initial Report
We create WebPosition Gold reports that show your site's ranking for each of your 10 chosen keyword phrases in the major search engines. This initial report will help us to:
 1) decide which pages / keyword phrases naturally work together
 2) determine if search engine optimization is necessary
 3) give a bench march for progress with search engine placement
See an example of a WebPostion Gold SEO report generated for BuildingOnline.com, our building industry news portal web site:

Step 3: Page Optimization
We access each page of your Web site, editing existing copy to ensure proper usage of your keyword phrases and optimizing the page code as required. If necessary, we will work with your marketing personnel to create content for sites with little or no existing content.

Step 4: Link Building
We'll add your site to BuildingOnline”s sponsor list. This is important because link building (exchanging links with other sites in good standing) helps increase your site's ranking with the major search engines, such as Google. Your site will also earn an Enhanced Listing in the BuildingOnline industry directory. See an example of an Enhanced Directory Listing that we maintain for our client James Hardie Building Products.

Step 5: Site Submission
We submit your Web site to the major search engines and directories, as well as those exclusive to the building industry.

Step 6: Waiting Period
Search engines take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to index a Web site. After which, we run another report showing how your post-optimization site ranks as compared to the initial, pre-optimization report results.
