    Offsite SEO
    Offsite SEO is everything that happens away from a website that affects its SEO results. There are arguably many offsite / external SEO ranking factors, however the most important by far are backlinks.

    Search engines such as Google consider backlinks as votes of quality for the webpage / website they are linking to. A website with many high value backlinks coming from many different websites will usually rank higher than an otherwise equal website with fewer or lower quality backlinks.

    Doesn’t Google ignore backlinks nowadays?

    No, Google heavily relies on backlinks. Backlinks and content are the most important ranking factors. Google only ignores links from irrelevant, low quality pages and websites that brings no value to internet users.

    Your website’s top SEO priorities

    Each SEO project is individual, and it’s essential it’s treated that way.

    There’s well over 250 SEO ranking factors and we work with them all, but we’ll prioritise those that will provided your specific site with the most significant rank improvements, here’s a short starting list.

    R

    Strategy

    This website is not taking advantage of the huge opportunities that Organic traffic provides.

    It’s not possible to get SEO right by just following a handful of SEO basics. To fully maximise on this opportunity it will require a bespoke strategic approach that covers all of the 250+ SEO ranking factors.

    • Prepare new website for launch
    • Local SEO
    • Google For Jobs
    R

    SEO Migration / Technical SEO

    Getting the site’s technical SEO right is incredibly important. There are hundreds of technical elements and they must all work towards improving the signals and trust of your website.

    R

    SEO landing page production / optimisation

    Google’s aim is to place only the very best content at the top of its results pages. We must produce pages that are perfectly formed for the keywords we want to rank for.

    R

    SEO supporting content / blogs

    We’ll utilise high quality and relevant website content such as blogs to support and improve the SEO of our SEO landing pages.

    R

    Local SEO / Google My Business

    • Google My Business profile optimisation
    • GMB photos
    • GMB posts
    • GMB Business Site
    • Local optimised content
    • Citations
    R

    Google For Jobs

    We optimise your job posts with structured data, so that when Google crawls your website it can collect this data and use it to form Google For Jobs listings.

    R

    Authority / backlink building

    • High quality ‘white hat’ backlink building will be essential, our SEO competitors have more or better quality websites linking to them.
    • We will focus on guest posts and niche edits as these are by far the most powerful, we will also diversify our link profile with foundational links.
    • We check to see if we have lost any backlinks that can be retrieved.
    • Backlinks need to be shared more naturally across a greater number of internal pages.

    Nurses.co.uk are the UK’s No.1 Nursing Jobs & Careers Site. Since mid 2019 our challenge has been to dramatically increase their organic traffic share for nurse job, career and training related searches.

    Approach

    The client’s top competitors include nhs.uk, indeed.com, nhsjobs.com and reed.co.uk, for this reason it was essential that we took an ‘all the things’ approach covering, advanced technical alterations, multi-level content silo production and structuring and offsite promotion.
