Search Marketing

Ready to get started?

What is SEM?

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the process of increasing internet traffic to your site through paid advertisements. When individuals engage with search engine platforms, their primary purpose is to find answers to their questions. SEM ensures that when individuals ask questions related to your service or product (a search query), the search engine provides the most relevant answer to their question. SEM is a direct marketing service that puts your business in front of people who are looking for your product or service.

Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) optimizes a website for the most advantageous search engine page ranking without the use of paid advertising. A solid SEO strategy is an essential component of being competitive in the search engine realm. Our two-stage approach to SEO ensures that we recommend and provide services that are the most effective at improving your website’s organic search rankings.

Stage 1: SEO Audit

In order to fully understand your website’s current state of optimization, we need to perform an audit. The Audit report contains insights and recommendations on the following sections:

  1. Technical Crawl Analysis
  2. Mobile Analysis
  3. Content Analysis (includes keyword ranking analysis)
  4. Local Ranking Analysis
  5. Competitor Analysis

Stage 2: One-Time & Ongoing Optimization

With the SEO Audit in hand, you’re free to use the information to implement changes on your own, or we can provide a proposal for on-going optimization and support. Our optimization process applies time and resources to the weak attributes of your website to resolve and address current shortcomings. This will result in the greatest overall ‘lift” in your search engine rankings.

Credit Union Case Study

Page rank and relevance are key elements in planning a marketing strategy. Working with a local Credit Union, we were hired to increase brand awareness and loan applications by executing Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in conjunction with each other. The results exceeded all expectations. While running the two tactics simultaneously, online loan applications increased 850% with increased search rankings and higher than average click-through rates. Throughout this campaign, the Credit Union maintained top-of-mind awareness when people were searching for loans by providing the information they wanted, when they wanted, in the place they were looking for it.
