SEO
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the process of improving your website to rank higher in search engine results when users search for keywords related to your business or services.We focus on three core pillars to strengthen your search presence and boost your rankings:
1. High-Quality Content
Content is the foundation of SEO. To rank well, we will create valuable, engaging, and relevant content that aligns with user intent. This ensures that users find what they’re looking for when they search. The quality of our content is measured based on these indicators:
Click-through rate (CTR): The percentage of people who click on your link in the search results.
Bounce rate: The percentage of users who leave the site quickly.
Dwell time: The amount of time users spend on your page, indicating engagement.
2. Technical Best Practices
This pillar focuses on optimizing your site for speed, mobile-friendliness, security, and structure. As your web developer, I take responsibility for ensuring your site:
Loads quickly: Faster sites improve user experience and rankings.
Is mobile-friendly: With mobile-first indexing, search engines prioritize mobile-friendly sites.
Is secure: Having HTTPS encrypt user data.
Has a clear structure: Proper site architecture makes it easier for search engines to crawl and index content effectively.
3. Quality Backlinks
The more reputable websites that link to your site, the more trustworthy your site appears to search engines. This can be achieved through:
Social Media: Share engaging, valuable content that encourages others to link back to your site.
Networking: Build relationships with authoritative websites in your industry who are willing to share and link to your website.
Shareable Content: Develop high-quality, free resources such as blog posts, articles, and guides to put on your website that naturally attract backlinks from other websites.
It is important to realize that SEO is just one way to drive traffic to your website and is not a requirement for success. Here is a list of marketing strategies to move your business forward. Focus on successfully implementing one or two strategies before adding additional ones. Pivot, change, adapt. You've got this!

Call or visit potential customers
Pass out fliers or business cards

This means your customers will have a smooth experience every time, and there's no extra cost for this premium performance—it's included in your plan.Your website comes with an SSL certificate, ensuring all data transmitted between your site and your visitors is encrypted for security. I also take care to avoid questionable plugins to keep your site protected from vulnerabilities. Additionally, if you’re looking for extra peace of mind, I can block traffic from outside the United States upon request to further safeguard your website from unwanted visitors.
Mobile Optimization

Images are served in the best formats for fast loading and high quality, helping your site load quickly and run smoothly on all devices.

"I had a great experience designing a website with Benjamin! He consulted me on ways I could optimize my online profiles and even finished the project quicker than expected. I'd say his style is especially suited to small businesses like mine as he was easy to collaborate with, even when I didn't have a vision for exactly what I wanted."
