What is Search Engine Optimisation?

Search Engine Optimisation aka SEO is the process of improving a website’s visibility on search engines like Google. It involves optimising various aspects of a website to enhance its ranking in search results for specific keywords, ultimately driving more organic traffic and potential customers/clients to the site.

I’m an SEO Specialist in Geelong

Hi there! I’m Max Jacobs, an SEO specialist who actually lives in Geelong. Most SEOs and agencies ranking on Google for ‘SEO Geelong’ aren’t actually from here, nor do they live here. 👎

Anyway, as a dedicated SEO professional, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that Geelong businesses face. With a comprehensive understanding of local SEO, I can optimise your online presence to attract customers and clients within the City of Greater Geelong, Surfcoast and surrounds.

By leveraging the right keywords and employing effective on-page and technical SEO strategies, I can help your business rank higher in search results and attract organic traffic to your website.

Geelong SEO Strategy

When it comes to developing an SEO strategy, it’s essential to understand the local market and competition. By conducting thorough keyword research and analysing the specific needs of your target audience, I can tailor a strategy that aligns with your business objectives and effectively positions your brand in front of potential customers or clients.

SEO Audit

An SEO audit is the first step in developing an SEO strategy. This involves a comprehensive review of your website’s current SEO performance, including technical aspects such as site speed, mobile-friendliness, and crawlability, as well as on-page and off-page factors like keyword optimisation, backlink profile, and content quality.

Keyword Research

Keyword research is crucial for understanding the specific search terms that are relevant to your target audience. By identifying high-potential keywords with local intent, I can help you optimise your website’s content to attract targeted traffic from the Geelong area. The same goes if your target audience is in any other suburb or area. e.g. Surfcoast, Torquay, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, etc.

Competitor Analysis

Competitor analysis is another important component of an SEO strategy. By analysing your local competitors and their SEO tactics, I can identify opportunities and gaps in the market that your business can leverage to gain a competitive edge.

Content Creation

Content creation is an essential part of SEO for Geelong businesses. By producing high-quality, relevant, and locally optimised content, such as blog posts, landing pages, and location-specific pages, I can help improve your website’s visibility in local search results.

On-Page SEO

On-page SEO involves optimising your website’s internal elements, such as meta tags, headings, and internal linking, to improve its relevance and visibility for Geelong-related search queries.

Off-Page SEO

Off-page SEO focuses on building your website’s authority and relevance through strategies such as local business directory listings, social media profiles, guest posts and whitehat link building campaigns.

Ongoing Content

Ongoing content creation and optimisation is crucial for maintaining and improving your website’s SEO performance. By regularly updating and expanding your content, I can help ensure that your website remains relevant and competitive in local search results.

Reporting & Tracking

Reporting and tracking are essential for measuring the effectiveness of your SEO strategy. By monitoring key performance metrics, such as keyword rankings, impressions and clicks from Google, I can provide you with valuable insights and recommendations for continuous improvement.

By implementing a comprehensive SEO strategy that addresses the specific needs and challenges of your local market, I can help your business increase its online visibility, attract more relevant traffic, and ultimately grow its customer base in the Geelong area.

Why Choose an SEO Specialist over an SEO Agency in Geelong?

Let me share why choosing an SEO specialist like me, operating as a freelancer, offers distinct advantages compared to an SEO agency.

1. Personalised Attention:

When you work with me, you can expect a more personalised approach. Your project won’t get lost in a sea of clients, allowing me to provide tailored strategies based on your unique needs and goals.

2. Direct Communication:

Communication is direct and streamlined. You’ll have direct access to me, ensuring that your ideas, questions, and updates are addressed promptly.

3. Cost-Effectiveness:

I operate with lower overhead costs, translating into more cost-effective solutions for your SEO needs. You’re paying for my expertise without the additional expenses associated with an SEO agency.

4. Agility and Flexibility:

As a one-person operation, I can be more agile and flexible in adapting to changes in your business or industry, making quick decisions and implementations.

5. I’m from Geelong:

If you Google ‘SEO Geelong’, most results are from SEO companies based outside of Geelong, many of which aren’t even in Victoria. So, in addition to supporting a local business, we could easily meet up in person.

6. Results-Driven Focus:

My success is directly tied to the results I achieve for clients. This commitment ensures a focused effort to deliver measurable outcomes for your business.

7. Transparent Processes:

With me, processes are more transparent. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of the strategies being implemented, progress made, and results achieved, fostering trust and collaboration.

8. Consistent Point of Contact:

Dealing with the same person throughout your SEO journey ensures a consistent and cohesive strategy, building a long-term partnership focused on sustainable growth. This isn’t something you usually get with SEO companies in Geelong.

Choosing me as your SEO specialist instead of an SEO agency offers an intimate, focused, and cost-effective approach to enhancing your online presence. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss how I can specifically tailor my services to your business, please feel free to reach out.
