SEO Bristol 

Two of us manage and optimise several dozen business and personal, local or national websites.

We take care of search engine optimisation that grows brand awareness and relevant website traffic to find customers and produce sales from an online search.

I own some websites that reside in competitive digital marketing spaces. There’s a broad selection of page 1, number 1 Google rank positions in tricky industries within the auto, health, design and of course, SEO spaces.

What my typical SEO projects look like

Manual audit

In most websites, initial work includes a manual audit where a list is compiled to bring the site to my best practice.

That will include well-known items such as mobile friendliness, great page speed and image optimisation.

More technical items include a focus on optimising sitemaps, employing thorough, accurate microdata and ensuring site security is at its best.

Timeframe: The manual audit can take between 1 hour and 12 hours depending on the size of the website and its digital/SEO goals.

A local business website is usually 1-2 hours
A national brand website is usually 8 hours +

Software audit

Secondary work is performed using a software audit tool, Screaming Frog; a website crawler and SEO Spider. It provides a function by crawling website URL’s (pages or posts) and returning analytical data so I can examine technical onsite metrics and compile an accurate list of to do items.

Screaming Frog has a free version if you’d like to try.

Timeframe: Usually about an hour

This automation process lets me see things like duplicate headline tags and meta descriptions, missing alt texts and oversized image file sizes.

Once both audits are done I’ll h have a complete list of work.

SEO tasks

Timeframe: Depending on the size of the website, completing optimisation (commonly known as on-page) takes 4-6 weeks.

This step involves another manual audit of all appending social media channels. I tend to focus on the traditional ones like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Google My Business and LinkedIn.

Timeframe: The audit usually takes about 90 minutes to complete where I’ll have another list of to do’s.

Executing the list takes around 3 to 5 hours. If there are more social channels important to the business the work might take longer.

I expect a boost in rankings within a few days of best practice website improvements.

This may look like a jump from the bottom of page 5 to top of page 2. It depends on the industry, keywords and number of changes employed.

In almost all cases, on-page and social media optimisation are completed within 6-8 weeks.
