SEO Bristol

I’d like to say that this will be the most interesting page you have ever read about SEO, so I will.

More than stretching the truth of course.  It’s a crap design.  But that’s ok, for now, because it’s only purpose right now is to rank for Search engine optimisation in Bristol.

And only then, now that you are reading this, for you to consider me

Your local search specialist.

Before I forget – since this is the first iteration of this page (dated 22 June 2016; since updated Nov 2018)

Isn’t the fact that you are reading this proof enough that we take sites to the top (well, towards the top at the very least!)

TIP:  One way to make this page rank is to talk about Bristol AND to talk about search engine optimisation. If I can find a way to have BOTH of those topics in the same paragraph then happy days! Come to think of it…..didn’t I just do that? Nice.

The above bold text is a ‘partial phrase match’  that has ‘something’ to do with the main keyword we are aiming for – .  “Search Engine Optimisation” is the full wording of SEO.  But you knew that already, right?    Of course you did.  That’s why you are here in the first place.  So please, do read on.  If you don’t learn at least one thing in the rest of this article to boost your site rankings, just call me and I’ll sort it out for you with a plan of attack and a goal-led, accountable and traffic-based search marketing campaign, based around your business.

When I take on a new client, the very first thing we do is to to study the site with a magnifying glass looking for on-page errors.  Honest to goodness you probably would not believe just how much improvement can be made for many, many keywords just by tweaking the content and code on your pages.

The best thing about that is that you generally see IMPROVEMENTS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, then when you add links into the mix, your rankings and traffic trend up and up.
