What our SEO agency Does
Rosh Media is a Detroit based company who offers SEO services nationally. We provide different levels of service, depending on the needs of our clients. The first is our standard service.
It’s basic set up for SEO success which every website must implement to support search engine ranking success. The goal of standard SEO is to ensure Google and other search engines are not confused. Search engines need to understand what each of your web pages are about.
The standard service is included with all websites Rosh Media and our partners produce. The standard service includes making sure the website is search engine friendly.
A friendly website includes quality title tags related to the content featured below them, good relevant headlines, alt tagged imagery, and internal linking.
Every web page is an opportunity to be found by a search engine, so we want to make sure your web pages are focused and use the right keywords that people are actually inputting into search boxes.
SEO RESEARCH
It is common for companies to use a lot of industry jargon that people actually looking for their product or service do not use. This is why we offer SEO research. This service includes all that we do for our standard service plus additional keyword and competition research, to make sure you are using the best keywords for your website.
SEO CAMPAIGNS
Campaigns are the most beneficial to our clients. It’s important to set up your website for success with standard and SEO research, but that is just the beginning of the process.
To keep the momentum going, it is important to develop a strategy for developing content, creating and earning links to your website. Our team creates content and develops relevant linking opportunities for our client’s website.
There are many white hat options we employ. Ultimately, our job is to make sure your website is an excellent resource and that the online community considers you an expert in your field or industry.
An important part of expert development often involves the use of social media. Becoming an expert in your field within social media often leads to valuable opportunities and natural links to your website – supporting your SEO goals.
HOW MUCH DOES SEO COST?
SEO is not cheap, this is because of all the labor involved to develop great content for on and off website use. Standard and SEO research costs depend on how many pages need to be optimized on a website.
A SEO campaign cost has more to do with the level competition you face online. The question is, how much authority does your website have compared to the high ranking competition.
If there is little competition for the keywords you wish to rank, the rates are much lower than higher competition keywords. Our SEO calculator is a convenient tool to help figure out approximately what our SEO services might cost you.
Using point values between $20 -$40 (you will understand after you read about the calculators) will give you an average range for SEO services.
Although SEO is expensive, the return on investment can take a company to healthy new revenue levels. On average the fee for SEO services for most small to mid-size clients is in the range of $750 to $2000 per month.
WHAT IS SEO SUCCESS?
We all want to rank number one on Google. It’s beneficial to increasing traffic and it is also tough to do. Earning the number one spot on any search engine is certainly a valid goal, however, it’s not the only measure of SEO success.
The goal of SEO is to increase quality and relevant traffic to a website. Sometimes, the first step is to fix the poor SEO work done in the past that is negatively affecting your search rankings. SEO changes so much that techniques legitimately used a few years ago can tank your ranking in the search engine today.
You may have a short tail keyword for the theme of your website only reaching the ranking number 12, fortunately, you may still be driving quality new traffic.
This is because longer tail keywords can still make it to the front page in related searches. A short tail keyword is one or two words such as Photographer or Food Photographer.
A longer tail keyword consists of multiple words such as restaurant food photographer or Detroit Michigan Food Photographer. The fact is that each day, 15-20% of all search queries have never been asked before.
This is an amazing fact. This means no one really knows all of the keyword combinations their website can rank. Your focus may be food photographer, however, you will most likely earn additional traffic from related longer tail keywords.
SEO MEASUREMENT
Measurement of additional traffic to a website is SEO success. The only good measure of traffic is a year over year traffic comparison. Each month is its own animal with holidays, commerce patterns and seasons affecting search traffic differently.
This is why month to month comparisons, although they may represent a general trend, are not the best indication of overall SEO success or failure.
Additional success indicators are the number of keywords your website shows up for and the number impressions your website earns within the search engine results.
Both of these metrics are found in the search engine webmaster tools (search console). You will find these tools available for both Google and Bing.
Each month our team provides reports on how well your website is doing related to traffic and target keyword rankings.
The one thing you can count on is that SEO is like the stock market. It will drive you crazy watching the daily and weekly ups and downs. However, if you follow the monthly trends and compare year over year growth you will sleep much better at night.
Our goal for mature websites is at least 25% year over year growth in traffic. Newer websites who have little or no SEO before our service can see 50, 75 or 100+ percent increases in traffic in a relatively short period of time.
THE ROI OF SEO
Our Detroit SEO team goal is to increase your website traffic. You must have clear expectations as to why you want more traffic and the value it represents to your company.
We have ROI calculators on this website to help determine if paying for SEO is beneficial to your business. In some cases, our team can do everything right and the client can still lose money. This might happen if their product is too inexpensive or offers a low-profit margin.
We like to use our ROI calculators before we take on a client so we don’t waste valuable client time and resources. We want our clients to be successful.
If SEO is not right for them, we do offer alternatives. We’ve found that at least some SEO is beneficial to the profitability of our customer websites and company bottom lines.
