SEO Brings Targeted Traffic To Your Digital Front Door
Your business provides solutions to specific problems. Since nearly everyone turns to Google to find the answers to all their questions, it just makes sense that the companies listed on page one have the best chance of not only getting the clicks but getting more customers. Isn’t it time for your business to get more business?
Marketing is a numbers game. The more you can put your business in front of potential customers, the more likely you are to get the business and make more money.
Search engine optimization puts your website in front of people who are actively searching for what you do. This is marketing that brings you targeted traffic. Who wouldn’t want to get their business in front of people who looking for you the most?
What Is Search Engine Optimization?
SEO stands for search engine optimization which is a digital marketing strategy designed to improve a website’s visibility and ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs). The goal is to do what is needed to help your web pages show up in organic results. This is where people usually click the most.
In the old days, search engine optimization was all about gaming the search engine algorithm, but those days are long gone. Today, SEO works by understanding how search engines like Google rank web content. It also means improving your online presence to meet their standards.
SEO marketing is the process of helping your website interact well with the search engines. When Google sends its spybots to crawl your site, they look for signs that show your website deserves a spot on page one.
SEO marketing is about statistics. The more browsers find your website on page one, the more they will click on it. This means you are more likely to get calls, contact forms, or business.
As simple as that sounds, getting on page one isn’t always so straightforward. There are many tasks to manage to make that happen. Depending on your industry, this process can take weeks or months. You may not see results right away.
Key Components of SEO
An effective SEO strategy to help your website rank higher typically includes things like:
Keyword Research
Identifying the specific terms and phrases your potential customers use when searching for products or services like yours. Your keyword strategy helps your site display consistently for multiple search queries.
On-Page Optimization
Strategically incorporating keywords, creating high quality content, and enhancing website structure to improve the user experience and signal relevance to search engines.
Technical SEO
Improving the quality of your website’s performance, speed, mobile-responsiveness, and backend elements that impact search engine crawling and indexing.
Content Creation
Creating high-quality content that provides value and answers user questions is essential. It helps improve your visibility in organic search results.
Link Building
Establishing credibility by acquiring high-quality, relevant backlinks from reputable websites.
Why SEO Matters For Your Business
While SEO isn’t right for every business, it can be an effective marketing strategy for many. When it’s a good fit, the benefits include:
Increases organic (non-paid) website traffic
Improves online brand visibility
Builds credibility and trust
Provides long-term marketing benefits
Offers a higher return on investment compared to traditional advertising
SEO isn’t a one-time task but an ongoing process of refinement and adaptation to changing search engine algorithms and user behaviors.
Why We Don’t Take All Clients For SEO
We get a lot of calls and walk-ins to our retail location from people who want to “SEO” their website. The first thing we do is to take a look at their current business website to see if it’s something we can work with.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of SEO companies around Atlanta and elsewhere who don’t actually take this first step. Doing SEO or optimizing a website begins with having an attractive, technically sound website. In the old days, you could actually get an ugly website to the top of the search engines, but those days are gone.
In fact, we won’t take on a client for SEO if their website isn’t good. The reason is simple. A bad website does nothing but drive your prospects to your competitor.
If there are significant problems with the website, we won’t be able to get it to rank well. Why would we take on a project that we know is doomed to fail? That’s just bad business.
We have turned down many clients who wanted SEO services. When we do, we tell them clearly not to pay anyone to optimize their website. They should fix the problems on their site first.
One potential SEO customer got mad at us when we told him to invest his SEO money on improving his website. He said, “You mean there’s no one in Atlanta that will take my money to do SEO on my site?” We said, “No, plenty of people will take your money. We’re just saying they’re not going to get good results!”
To understand how to prepare your website for SEO, it’s important to first think about the search engines. Most people take search engines for granted and never stop to think about how they actually work.
SEO Marketing
At Make It Loud, we typically suggest a diverse approach to digital marketing, but for many different businesses, SEO makes sense.
We only recommend that you do SEO if there is potential for a strong return on your investment. If you make $1000 from each customer, and you spend $1000 a month on SEO, you need one new customer each month to cover your costs. In this example, SEO only needs to bring you 2 customers a month to make money.

FAQS About SEO
How long does SEO take?
It really depends on how competitive your industry is and where you want to rank. It makes sense that it’d easier to get your site seen locally than it is regionally or nationally. It makes sense that ranking for “divorce attorney Atlanta” is much harder than in a less competitive field.
It seems that SEO nerds around the world will tell you that “it takes 3-6 months” to see results from SEO, but this is not always the case. With our work, we’ve seen page one rankings in less than 2 weeks in some cases while others have taken longer. We will definitely have a better understanding of how long it will take to get more customers during the first month of our work.
Can I Do SEO On My Own?
Absolutely! We taught digital marketing skills including SEO to the Gwinnett Chamber Of Commerce for 2 years.
Before you start learning about search engine optimization, think about if it’s the best use of your time. Google changes its algorithm hundreds of times each year.
Once you learn SEO, you must stay updated. This helps you keep up with new trends and changes. It comes down to investing time or money to get your site ranked well.
How Much Does SEO Cost?
This depends on the scope of work. Local SEO costs less than regional or national SEO, but the average cost for local SEO around Atlanta ranges from $900 to $1500/month. This also depends upon how competitive your industry is.
The average cost for national search engine optimization campaigns is between $2,000 and $10,000. This cost depends on the type of business you have.
Do All SEO Agencies Do SEO The Same Way?
Not in the slightest. The hidden truth about SEO agencies is that many limit the number of pages or blog posts they create for your site each month. The team at Make It Loud doesn’t do that.
We are an aggressive SEO company. We work hard to get your site noticed quickly. We also focus on keeping those results.
How Do You Measure Success For SEO?
Many agencies use different metrics to measure your campaign’s success. To us, the most important measure is how much money you make.
It’s important to consider other measures. These can include website traffic, conversions like calls or contact forms, and website rankings in search results. We look at many different metrics to help us see that your site is moving in the right direction.
