Organic Search Engine Optimization







I am sure many of you have heard the term SEO thrown around, what exactly is SEO? How much time have you got?

Simply put, Search Engine Optimisation is one of the most important tools to use when you are running a website, as it is vital in helping to rank you better. Or - not rank you at all if you get blacklisted! (but we'll only talk about the good things today!)


Google is constantly changing its algorithm and forever making SEO that little bit harder. Back in the day many marketeers tried to 'cheat' the system by overloading its content with a certain keyword, or paying for backlinks that have no merit at all. They no longer work and you can actually be blacklisted for doing such techniques. Today, SEO is a more intelligent discipline.


You can certainly boost your SEO without spending a penny, and its actually best this way, there is many things you can do such as On-page optimization, Quality content, Link Building and many other things.


Start off by building a keyword list - this is the words or phrases you want to rank for and do some research into these keywords and SERPS, another big help would be to start building reputable backlinks, this can be a long and tedious process but definitely worth it. Learn as you go and do as much research as you can. It's important to keep up to date with the algorithm as it changes so often and you must learn to change with it as best you can.

Once implemented, ethical SEO can leave you in a better position and ranking on search engines compared to PPC which usually just provides short term results.

S.O.S.T.A.C Marketing Model

This is a model that offers you and the client a logical order for tackling your plan and allows you to critically assess the process. It is a very popular tool to a lot of marketeers and was created by PR Smith. Michelle's report in Jellies and Jaffas was very interesting to read, although I will admit it was a little frustrating to get to the end for her to say she thinks the model will not work for this type of business. Maybe this should have been disclosed in the beginning, however, it is a great example of how you can implement each section of the model and create a very detailed roadmap for the business. The SOSTAC methodology creates the perfect outline for a marketing plan. Michelle clearly details where Jellies and Jaffas efforts are best placed, she clearly defined their market positioning and highlighted what would need to be done to stand out from competitors. She also highlighted the importance of monitoring their online performance so that it a...

Marketing Persona's

What is a User Persona? A persona is a fictional, yet realistic, description of a typical or target user of the product. A persona is an archetype instead of an actual living human, but personas should be described as if they were real people. – Aurora Harley Understanding your audience is fundamental when it comes to creating content that will generate a reaction. Learning their motivations and requirements helps in building user-centric products. You might think it's as simple as to just know what the user needs (wishful thinking), but unfortunately it's not and it's important to make sure to conduct thorough user research to reap the full benefit. As business owners or marketers, we must take the time to figure out what our audience wants to hear, not just what we want to say. So, what exactly is a Persona you ask? Simply put - it's fictional characters created to represented different aspects of your users such as their needs, goals and behaviours that m...
