Sitewire,
a leading direct marketing agency and search engine marketing firm in
Arizona, knows that when considering organic search engine optimization
in reference to garnering strong search engine rankings, relevant
search terms and the importance of link popularity are often thought
about. Yet Sitewire, a leading search engine marketing firm in Arizona
advises that this must be taken one step further to examining ROI.
Ultimately, high search engine rankings mean nothing if they are not
driving traffic to the Web site, traffic that will turn from consumer
to customer, traffic that will effectively convert. That is the value
of organic search engine marketing that many often fail to discuss. The
discussion is always centered on number and quality of rankings.
Here’s a bit of insight. When direct marketing agency Sitewire reviews
a Web site for optimization and performs research to find the keyword
phrases that will be used for said optimization, it looks for highly
relevant, very popular phrases. Sitewire looks to relevance for several
reasons. First and foremost, organic rankings are based heavily on
relevance. Each search engine competes for its audience based on its
ability to provide the most relevant search results to an organic
search query. Therefore, it is important to be targeted in the keywords
chosen for optimization.
Secondly, those relevant phrases will also often help reach the target
market. Direct marketing agency Sitewire knows you have to jump into
the mind of the consumer and think: if I were searching for my type of
product online, what words would I use to find it? In most cases, a lot
of the phrases for which people wish to rank are those less relevant to
the product and will most likely fail to deliver the target consumer
needed to sell the product.
Third, direct marketing agency Sitewire feels that if people use highly
relevant search terms that target the market they are seeking to
purchase the product, it will likely drive relevant traffic to the Web
site, which will lead to conversions. However, you must have phrases
that are used as search terms -- they must be popular. Regardless of
relevance and rank, targeted keyword phrases without popularity means
you are ranking for a phrase no one is looking for.
And finally, search engine marketing firm Sitewire presents the
question: how do you track or prove ROI for organic search listings?
Because free organic rankings do not come with the ability to track
conversions, click through, etc. (like pay-per-click services allow),
having your Web site linked into a quality Web analytics tool will
allow you to track the organic search process. Tools such as Web Trends
provide the information necessary to see what your ROI is from organic
efforts.
