Our approach

Our approach to your SEO is highly targeted and entirely bespoke, so there's really no 'typical' campaign.

But as a guide, here's an example to illustrate what you can expect in your first 3 months with us, billing from £2000 per month.

Here's what you could expect in your first month with dotSearch

» Pre-scoping analysis

Before undertaking our full project scoping for your business, one of our Senior Strategists will analyse your market, website technology and structure.

We'll make a detailed analysis of your current website metrics and keywords, and crucially, we'll reverse engineer some of your best performing competitors.

Our pre-scoping analysis covers your key metrics and includes:

  • Competitor keyword strategies
  • Website (on-site) strategy
  • Link building (off-site) strategy
  • Social media and content strategy
  • Current search market share

» 1 day scoping workshop

We send one of our most senior search marketing experts (not a sales person!) to spend up to a day with your key staff, to examine your goals and requirements.

It's here that we establish :

  • Your campaign requirements and targets in detail
  • Primary keyword groups
  • Ongoing strategy for delivering top positions, including time frames
  • Any technical issues (at this point we'll establish a strategy and time frame for managing these)
  • Site performance measures and key campaign hygiene factors (monitored quarterly)
  • Proposed off-site and link building activity
  • Content strategy, including articles and user generated content

» Campaign strategy and plan

Once the Project Scoping is completed, we'll produce a detailed, mile-stoned project plan based on the findings. This can be sent to each of your stakeholders.

It is this document which will become the campaign 'bible', driving your campaign forward and delivering the rankings and results you need.

You can use this Scoping document for your inhouse SEO or ask other agencies to quote against it.

» Link building and content strategy

As soon as the Scoping Service is complete we begin work on link building. This ensures momentum from a previous strategy is retained or we get an early start to a new strategy.

During the first month we focus on 'quick wins', targeting revenue generating keywords where a highly visible position is possible quickly.

Our off-site work calls on a massive database of resources to maximise effort for your budget.

All the work is done manually (no automation) and in-house (no farming-out), so you get consistent, quality, high-volume output.

Typically, a full-time technician will work on each campaign, covering:

  • Relevant targeted directory submissions (no automation used)
  • Forums and blogging – real conversations for high value brand building as well as SEO results
  • Ongoing strategy for delivering top positions, including time frames
  • RSS syndication and aggregation – we make sure your copy gets maximum exposure
  • Copywriting and content syndication - we have a team of in-house copywriters producing quality content that helps deliver impressive SEO results
  • Social Bookmarking
  • Sponsored content – we have access to a large network of relevant and known blogs, forums and content sites to further build your SEO and brand exposure
