A well-structured, clean, and uncluttered website causes a casual website visitor to stay longer, thereby decreasing bounce rate and increasing page views. User friendly web pages help satisfy your customer's search intentions, which makes search engines happy too as they love to serve high quality information to their users.</p></div><div class="col-md-6"><h3>Great Source of Leads</h3><p>If you want to find something, you Google it. Search engines are the main source of website traffic for most industries. People conduct trillions of searches every year, often with commercial intent to find information about products and services. Being ranked at the top of Google by a top SEO consultant puts you in front of your target audience and in a great position to convert. </p></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-6" style="text-align:left;"><h3>Higher Conversion Rates</h3><p>Digital marketing leads from the search engines are prospective clients who have done online research with specific requirements and purpose in mind and have come to take a look at your product or service. These qualified leads result in higher conversion rates. Essentially, search marketing and SEO techniques give you a chance to reach potential customers in the very last stage of the buying cycle as they’ve already decided what product or service they want. All they need is you to sell it to them.</p></div><div class="col-md-6"><h3>Brand Credibility</h3><p>Organic visibility on Google is essential for reaching your coveted company brand awareness KPI and performance goals. Top rankings don't just make it easier for potential customers or business owners to find you, it’s also a form of social proof and demonstrates credibility. Using the web marketing services of an SEO expert will help you ensure your brand remains credible.</p></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-6" style="text-align:left;"><h3>Level Playing Field</h3><p>Larger businesses generally have a lot more resources in order to compete with smaller businesses. But, if smaller businesses want to level the playing field and get the upper hand against bigger businesses, they can focus on their SEO strategy to increase their online visibility. Using Freelance SEO consultant services allows you to ensure your website is ready to compete with your larger competitors.</p></div><div class="col-md-6"><h3>Long-Term Marketing Strategy</h3><p>Although it takes most websites around six months to reach the top ranks on the search engines, pulling you down the list also takes time. Once a website is firmly established on the Google rankings, it becomes difficult to move off the top spot. SEO strategies, when applied correctly using a professional SEO consultant will ensure you get to, and stay at, the top.</p></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><h2>Remember: SEO is not a cost, but an investment. <h2><p><a href="https://gazhall.com/contact.html" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Get your FREE SEO Consultation NOW</a></p></div></div><!-- End of Benefits of SEO section --><hr/> <!-- Start of My Approach to SEO section --><div style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://gazhall.com/images/num1-world.png" alt="SEO Services"><br/><h2>SEO Specialist Approach</h2><small class="orange-line"></small><p>Inevitably, the way I tackle organic search projects varies from one customer to another and can use a range of marketing strategies and SEO knowledge.</p><p>Some local business owners may be focused on local SEO digital marketing services whereas some may be interested in international marketing strategies, targeting multiple language variants.</p> <p>A good SEO consultant can take any website to the top of the Google listings, regardless of whether they're focused on e-commerce, education, non-profit or blogging. Many SEO tasks are relevant to all of these types of websites.</p><p>Whatever your search engine optimization needs, the following workflow is typical and will give you a better understanding of this tried and tested pathway:</p></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-2"><br/><img src="https://gazhall.com/images/icons/seo-objectives.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="SEO Objectives"></div><div class="col-md-10"><h3>Understand Your Objectives</h3><p>A good freelance SEO consultant will first of all listen to what you want to achieve from both your business and organic search objectives. Do you want to increase organic traffic? Or revive an existing SEO campaign? Or maybe diversify your traffic-generating pages? From these initial discussions, we will agree scope, timescales, resources and pricing.</p></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-2"><br/><img src="https://gazhall.com/images/icons/seo-audit.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="SEO Audit"></div><div class="col-md-10"><h3>Carry Out A Technical SEO Audit</h3><p>The next thing SEO experts will do in this process is to test how effectively Google can crawl your site using an SEO audit. The audit will identify as many foundational issues affecting organic search performance as possible. These issues will be discussed in detail and corrected to ensure adherence to best practices.</p></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-2"><br/><img src="https://gazhall.com/images/icons/seo-competitors.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="SEO Competitors"></div><div class="col-md-10"><h3>Understand The Competition</h3><p>The next step in this online marketing process is for the marketing consultant to analyse your competitor's on page and off page SEO tactics as well as which keywords they are targeting. This is a really important step for the right SEO consultant service as it helps determine what we need to do get your website above theirs on the search engines.</p></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-2"><br/><img src="https://gazhall.com/images/icons/seo-keywords.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="SEO Keywords"></div><div class="col-md-10"><h3>Undertake Keyword Research</h3><p>Here the SEO consultants objective is to identify commercially focused target keywords that searchers for your products or services use. High volume keywords or phrases will be identified along with the difficulty of these keywords and the cost per click too. We'll also consider long tail keywords with relevant search intent too as part of the SEO service.</p></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-2"><br/><img src="https://gazhall.com/images/icons/seo-content.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="SEO Content"></div><div class="col-md-10"><h3>Create Brilliant Content</h3><p>From the SEO consultants research, the content strategy will emerge. We will work together to create unique and relevant evergreen content that will rank highly and attract converting customers. We'll also optimise any existing content to ensure that you get found by your target audience in the search results page. </p></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-2"><br/><img src="https://gazhall.com/images/icons/seo-backlinks.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="SEO Backlinks"></div><div class="col-md-10"><h3>Build Relevant Backlinks</h3><p>As soon as the SEO experts have mapped your target keywords to your target URLs and these pages are set up, link building can commence. The search engine algorithms put a lot of emphasis on authoritative links from relevant domains. Getting your website seen online is also an important aspect of online marketing and link building helps in this regard.</p></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-md-2"><br/><img src="https://gazhall.com/images/icons/seo-analysis.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="SEO Analysis"></div><div class="col-md-10"><h3>Fine Tuning and Tracking</h3><p>When the SEO consultant puts the campaign live, you will be able to track your site's performance in the search engine rankings.

It involves many different attributes including user behaviour, site structure, links from other sites and content. At a high level, I would say there are four main factors that ensure SEO works correctly:</p><ol> <li><strong>Technical:</strong> Getting all the technical aspects of a website correct.</li> <li><strong>Keywords:</strong> Identifying the correct keywords that attract and convert.</li> <li><strong>Content:</strong> Creating in-depth content that resolves Google Search Queries from potential customers.</li> <li><strong>Backlinks:</strong> Acquiring links to your site from relevant, high authority sites.</li></ol><p>Most <strong>SEO strategies</strong> devised by an experienced SEO consultant are based on these four elements.</p><h4>Technical SEO</h4><p>The site needs to be technically correct with an appropriate url structure, correct HTML, Javascript, CSS, tags, meta data and schema. It needs to pass the <a href="https://gazhall.com/core-web-vitals.html">core web vitals</a> test, have no broken links or 404 errors, run on the https protocol, have a correct <a href="https://gazhall.com/type-of-sitemap-seo.html">sitemap</a> as well as a robots.txt file optimised for your <a href="https://gazhall.com/what-is-crawl-budget.html">crawl budget</a>. </p><p>If the website owners property isn't technically correct it may be deemed as irrelevant by Google and won't show up in the search results. Therefore a focus on the technical aspects of <a href="https://gazhall.com/seo-part-of-marketing-strategy.html">SEO marketing</a> is the first step for a technical SEO consultant in optimising your website.</p><h4>Keyword Research</h4><p>Keyword analysis by a trusted SEO consultant provides valuable insight into the queries that your target audience is actually searching on Google. When you establish the most relevant keywords for the content that you publish, the higher your site will rank in the search engine result pages. The further up your site is on Google, the more traffic you will bring to your website.</p><p><a href="https://gazhall.com/pick-perfect-keywords.html">Picking the correct keywords</a> is the foundation of your comprehensive SEO strategy and ties in with <a href="https://gazhall.com/competitor-research-seo.html">competitor research</a>. When you know which search terms your <a href="https://gazhall.com/defining-your-ideal-customer.html">ideal customer</a> is using to find your products or services, you can optimise your content accordingly.</p><h4>Content Creation</h4><p>Creating authentic, valuable content is critical for search engine visibility. As is the search engine optimisation of this content. When you optimise the content on your web pages, you're making your website more visible to people who are using search engines (like Google) to find your product or service.</p><p>Quality content is how you engage, inform, support and delight your audiences however your content must be informed through your keyword research process. There is no point creating content for the sake of it. As any freelance SEO consultant will tell you, it has to answer the needs of the searcher.</p><h4>Backlinks</h4><p>A backlink is a link to your site from another site on the internet. Backlinks are also called inbound links or incoming links. When a site links to your site, it provides a positive signal, or a vote of confidence, to the search engines that your site is important for the topic being discussed. </p><p>Backlinks are the foundation of Google’s original PageRank algorithm and, as any SEO expert will tell you, remain an important ranking factor. Using the link building services of a freelance SEO consultant to earn backlinks from authoratitive, relevant domains can have a positive effect on a site's organic rankings and search visibility. </p></div></div></div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h4 class="panel-title"><a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#collapse2">What does an SEO Consultant do?</a></h4></div><div id="collapse2" class="panel-collapse collapse"><div class="panel-body"><p>The right SEO consultant is someone with a specialised set of skills in the digital marketing industry.

With over 20 years providing SEO Consulting Services and Digital Marketing Services, I have a comprehensive knowledge and solid understanding of search engine marketing and exactly what SEO strategies make successful SEO campaigns, something that is unfortunately lacking in the SEO world and the SEO industry in general. I've analysed the effects of updates to the search engine algorithms and search engine ranking factors over the last couple of decades, and used this information to increase the organic rankings of numerous businesses, allowing me to generate more traffic for my client websites. The best SEO consultant knows what the important factors are that delivers results. </p> <p> Over the years, as a seasoned SEO consultant, I've worked with marketing agencies, the SEO team of various other SEO companies and other SEO consultants, providing SEO services to help strengthen their client's organic visibility in the major search engines and reach their target audience. I have created many a search engine optimisation campaign and comprehensive SEO strategy as part of my SEO consultant service with the goal of delivering strong organic growth both in rankings, website traffic and more customers. As an SEO freelancer, I've worked with start ups who want to increase brand awareness and better rankings, e-commerce companies that need quality traffic to grow their business and large businesses that want to consolidate their market share with improved rankings. </p> <br /> <img src="https://gazhall.com/images/seo-consultation.webp" alt="SEO Consultation"> <br /><br /> <p> Most companies that contact me know that SEO works. They have a basic understanding of how developing a website's content and link building can help them reach prospective clients. Numerous businesses I work with do not initially have any idea of how SEO experts work to deliver results. I'm happy working with them to give them a clear understanding of the benefits of SEO, and how the optimisation of their website and their website content can help them acquire potential customers. </p> <p> Rest assured that my approach to SEO marketing is built on a tried and tested consultant SEO methodology; one which is built on a winning combination of technical goodness, thoroughly optimised content and strong website authority. This SEO strategy leads to first page results and helps take your business to the next level. </p> <br /> <img src="https://gazhall.com/images/optimisation.webp" alt="Website Optimisation"></div><!-- End of "SEO Consultancy Services" section" --><br /><hr/><br /><!-- Start of Work With Me section --><div style="text-align:center;"> <h2>Speak to an SEO Consultant Today</h2> <small class="orange-line"></small> <p>Ranking on page 1 in Google's organic results can bring a <strong>huge amount of new business</strong> for you.</p> <p>Finding the right SEO expert that <strong>delivers results</strong> is an important step forward.</p> <p>If you want a UK SEO expert that has good <strong>technical SEO</strong> understanding, follows <strong>Google guidelines</strong>, is <strong>effective</strong> and <strong>ethical</strong> then please get in touch today.</p> <p>Whether you're launching a new business or are an established brand looking for more traffic, I look forward to hearing from you.</p> <img src="https://gazhall.com/images/seo-consultant.webp" class="gh_picture_large" alt="Gaz Hall"> <h2>Gaz Hall</h2> <h3><i>SEO Consultant</i></h3> <br/> <p><a href="https://gazhall.com/contact.html" class="btn btn-warning btn-lg"><span style="font-size:18px;">Get in Touch</span></a> </p></div><hr/><!-- End of Work With Me section --> </div> </section> </div> </div></div> <footer class="section-md bg-dark footer-one p-b-0"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6"> <h5>About</h5> <p class="text-light about-text font-14 m-t-10">Gaz Hall runs an <a href="https://gazhall.com/seo-agency.html">SEO Agency</a> and is an experienced <a href="https://gazhall.com/">SEO Consultant</a> providing <a href="https://gazhall.com/seo-services.html">SEO services</a> across the <a href="https://searchauthority.co.uk/coverage.html">UK</a> and Europe.</p> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6"> <h5><a href="/seo-uk.html">SEO UK</a> Services</h5> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li class="footer-links"> <a href="https://gazhall.com/uk/seo-agency-london.html">SEO Agency London</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/uk/seo-consultant-london.html">SEO Consultant London</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/seo-services.html">SEO Services</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/seo-expert.html">SEO Expert</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/seo-specialist.html">SEO Specialist</a> </li> </ul> </div><div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6"> <h5>Popular Posts</h5> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/benefits-of-seo.html">The Benefits of SEO</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/seo-part-of-marketing-strategy.html">SEO Marketing</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/seo-friendly-headlines.html">SEO Friendly Headlines</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/3-types-search.html">Types of Search</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gazhall.com/why-isnt-my-site-on-google.html">Why isn't my site on Google?</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6"> <div class="p-b-40 footer-map"> <h5>Contact Details</h5> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li>27 Old Gloucester Street, London, WC1N 3AX</li> <li><a href="tel:+442030956006">+44 203 095 6006</a> </li> <li><a href="tel:+447477628843">+44 7477 628843</a> </li> <li><a href="mailto:gaz@gazhall.com">gaz@gazhall.com</a></li> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-one-alt"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-10"><small>© Copyright 2024 <a href="https://searchauthority.co.uk/">Search Authority</a> (Search Auth Ltd - Company Number 12683577 | VAT 371393881) </small><a href="https://www.dmca.com/Protection/Status.aspx?ID=dc178546-49d3-4bc5-a852-48115ad75f3e" title="DMCA.com Protection Status" class="dmca-badge"> <img src="https://images.dmca.com/Badges/dmca-badge-w100-5x1-11.png?ID=dc178546-49d3-4bc5-a852-48115ad75f3e" alt="DMCA.com Protection Status"/></a> <script src="https://images.dmca.com/Badges/DMCABadgeHelper.min.js"> </script></div> <div class="col-xs-2"><p class="pull-right"><i class="fa fa-arrow-up"></i> <a href="#">Back to top</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script><script src="https://gazhall.com/theme/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script><script src="https://gazhall.com/theme/js/respond.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-48781283-8']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function () { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
