Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Search engine optimisation is the process of promoting Web pages or a Website on a search engine or a directory so that the most relevant sites or pages are displayed first in the search results (especially Google) for a particular keyword or keyword phrase query. The objective is to achieve a long-term top position for specific keyword variations in the unpaid search results such as in Google or Bing/Yahoo.
The scientific process involves studying the way search engines rank pages and then make the Web page “content optimized & search engine friendly.” Each engine computes this with a different formula or algorithm, such as Google with over 200 ranking criteria, which changes frequently.

1. Keyword Analysis
As a basis for the project optimization, we will conduct a detailed keyword analysis, in which the most relevant keywords will be identified. The keyword analysis takes into account both generic keywords and specific terms. These terms are in addition combined with the physical location and the respective target markets. The keyword analysis is carried out with appropriate and specific tools.
Through our experience and through permanent examination of the latest country specific online searches (such as search behaviour, search volume, competition analysis, etc.), we know which keyword combinations for which target regions are the most relevant.
2. On Page Optimization
The top 3 search engine providers: Google, Bing and Yahoo are constantly optimizing their search algorithms. The reason for this is that the search engines need to improve and develop. We deal with the current changes, respond to the reporting and traffic developments and with newly added contents are also optimized to expand subsequently the rankings further. In order to obtain the largest possible number of visitors, we focus specifically on the optimization for Google. This work will focus on the optimisation of Meta Tags, Page Urls, Headers, Alt Texts, Images, Body Content, Site Maps, Code Validations, etc.
3. Manual Registration
In order to improve the quality of inbound links, the Website is registered manually to well-known and industry-specific search engines and directories. This will increase the link popularity (i.e. Page Rank) in Google. No software is used during this process, to avoid being penalized by Google for automatic indexation. This process takes about 2-3 months and the customer receives a detailed registration report after indexation.
4. Social Media Activity
In order to increase visibility and notoriety online in social networking, we will create a customised account for Facebook, Twitter and Google+. The objective is to increase link popularity and receiving targeted visitors arriving from additional sources. Weekly message postings in the major social media accounts will in addition support the activities of the registration process and boosts visibility.
5. Reporting / Follow-up
Before the beginning of the optimization process, the customer will receive a current status report, which reflects the actual situation of the Website in search engine rankings using specific keywords. Detailed reports are generated each quarter, which should demonstrate the development and changes of positions.
