Improving your search engine optimization (SEO)

SEO dramatically increase your website’s hits

What is SEO and why is it important?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of increasing the number of your website’s visits from (non-paid) search result pages (SERPs) and promoting user interaction. OWDT‘s SEO specialists target search results from relevant listings, images, videos, industry-specific online activity and other sources to increase your website’s visibility.

SEO Is the key to successful digital marketing

Having a website with beautiful design, solid content, and seamless navigation is the foundation of your digital marketing. However, without SEO, there’s no assurance that customers will ever visit your site, let alone buy your products or services. Creating a high-quality website that expands your customer base is much like building a skyscraper. You first have to dig deep into the bedrock to establish a solid foundation. — OWDT’s SEO services create a resilient foundation for your website.

OWDT continually integrates new SEO methods with those that have stood the test of time. We help increase ‘organic search’ engine results that are natural, algorithmic, and unpaid. We also offer Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to target reputable paid listings, as with Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising.

But before selecting an SEO company, you should know that–

• First page search results ranking can’t be achieved overnight. Never do business with a company promising to do so. It takes many hours of work (typically spanning three to six months) before your website is listed on the first page of Google and other search engines. Watch out for SPAM, negative seo or black hat techniques, SEO agencies that promise quick results may practice these methods.
• The biggest challenge in optimizing organic SEO results is adapting to constantly changing secret search engine algorithms. To break that barrier, we utilize sophisticated feedback loops to fine-tune your website’s links and search terms.
• OWDT’s SEO specialists carefully tailor their work to your specific needs. For example, if you are a product/service-based company, we apply SEO techniques to increase visits that generate higher conversion rates (increased sales revenue). By contrast, if you’re a non-profit organization or public relations company, we focus on optimizing your website traffic (clicks and time spent per visit) to expand your community outreach.
