Search Engine Optimisation

Search Engine Optimisation or ‘SEO’ for short is the practice of increasing organic traffic to your website by improving the rank of its website pages on a search engine. The main goal of SEO is to allow your business pages to be seen by more potential customers which hopefully will result in more leads and revenue.

At a very basic level and in order to have an effective SEO campaign, web pages must be optimised for relevant keywords that match that of what the user is searching on Google or Bing.

Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing uses content that is published on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn to direct traffic to your website and create awareness for your brand online. Businesses mostly post their own content that is in line with their services or products to their own social media profiles. Sometimes they use influencers who have larger followings and trust with their own followers to send traffic to a company’s website or social media profiles.

In order to be successful with social media, companies must have a good understanding of their audience and what type of content appeals to them so they can increase engagement and create awareness about their brand.
