Full SEO Service

In 2015 Google first launched its Search Quality Guidelines which it gave to human raters to evaluate sites for search. In the same year RankBrain was introduced, the machine learning innovation that became a work in progress to a new way of indexing the web. The most recent iteration of their search quality guidelines were released in 2018.

In August 2018, Google launched a core algorithm update that reflected the manual quality guidelines, which mainly affected YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) sites.

A key aspect of this update, known by the SEO community as the ‘Medic Update’, focused on three factors.

• Expertise
• Authoritativeness
• Trustworthiness

E-A-T!

Google’s search quality raters are asked to rate sites based on dozens of E-A-T factors which are aggregated to a Low, Medium or High E-A-T score for every domain they evaluate.

RankBrain then digests this E-A-T data (its preference over fermented walrus) and is then able to adjust rankings once the main ranking algorithms have done their job.

These are just some of the key advancements of the hundreds of updates over the last few years in the SEO landscape. They should make it very clear that a lot of work is required to satisfy the pre-eminent search engine and those that are chasing its shadow.

Google Doesn’t Care About You (but we do)

One of the challenging things one must realise about being a Webmaster or Online merchant is that Google doesn’t care about you. This might sound like tough motherly-love and in a sense it is.

Google cares about its users. It’s our job to help you provide as many signals to Google and the lesser search engines that your site is of high quality for their users. Searchers finding your site should want to come back to Google to search again.

Ticking Many Boxes

In order to keep Google’s quality raters and algorithms happy, many boxes need to be ticked.

Ticking Many Boxes

In order to keep Google’s quality raters and algorithms happy, many boxes need to be ticked.

There are so many sites on the web competing for most commercial keywords that the bar has never been higher when it comes to ranking your site well. It really is the algorithms’ market.

Luckily, most of Google’s search quality guidelines will make your site better, as Google understands what its users want. Its users are your users, after all.

The first principals of SEO remains to be high quality content, authority and crawlability.

There are, however, many more factors that have to be taken into consideration today, though ultimately they can all be grouped into these categories.

The below packages are designed as a guideline for clients with different needs, budgets and resources.
