It’s natural for your rankings to fluctuate slightly. The search rankings are constantly changing as the websites around you work on their SEO (either intentionally or unintentionally).

These natural variations should reduce as your page ranking gets closer to the top.

If your website isn’t ranking, don’t despair. There are a few possible explanations, such as:

• There’s a lot of competition for your keywords,
• You’ve chosen the wrong keywords,
• You’re missing a piece of the SEO puzzle,
• You haven’t given it long enough.

The good news is you can work through all of them and identify the ranking factor(s) that is stopping you from getting the results you desire.

If your website puts search engine users at risk, this could put you on Google’s blacklist. This includes:

• Websites that contain malware,
• Websites with suspected phishing scams,
• Illegal content,
• Buying or selling backlinks.

There are many other popular techniques to include in your strategy:

• Keyword research,
• Creating high-quality content,
• On-Page SEO,
• Increasing site speed,
• Link building,
• Optimising images,
• Creating a mobile-friendly website.

The key is to focus on “white hat” techniques and avoid “black hat” techniques that may harm your organic rankings.

The best SEO strategies start with a thorough understanding of the audience. Who is your ideal customer? What are their biggest problems and challenges? What keeps them awake at night?

Get inside your audience’s mind to figure out what they’re looking for when they use Google.

On-page SEO are the activities you carry out on your own webpages to boost your search engine rankings and create an SEO friendly site.

It includes things like:

• Choosing an SEO-friendly URL.
• Keyword placement.
• Optimising your images.
• Reducing page load times.
• The quality of the content and the content length found on the page.
• Indexable Sitemap

If you want to learn SEO for your business, there are many great places to start.

Start with some of the popular SEO blogs — such as Moz and Search Engine Journal — to learn from the best in the industry.

Make sure the keywords appear in the page title tags, the URL and the meta description. You should also use them in the first paragraph of your content — and a few times throughout your page content.

Don’t overdo it however. Google recommends your website pages and landing pages use relevant/engaging content and are written for a human audience, not for the Google search bots. This means too many keywords (keyword stuffing) can hurt your organic rankings. Just use enough keywords in your content to let Google know what the page is about and let your excellent content to do the rest.

After six months of consistent marketing efforts, you should expect to be seeing some return on your investment and some of your key performance indicators being reached.

Your website might not be ranked #1 on page 1 of Google search results by this point — but if you’re seeing increased relevant traffic and sales from organic search, it’s working.

It’s important to set realistic, achievable and clear goals to help you on your SEO journey. A good place to start is your website traffic flow.

How much traffic are you currently getting from organic search and how much would you like to see it increase by?

Inbound links are those your website receives from other relevant websites. Internal links are those you include, linking to other individual pages of your own website.

Both are important – so don’t neglect inbound links when creating a new piece of content.

Although low-cost SEO packages exist, it’s important to remember you get what you pay for.

As SEO & search engine marketing are unregulated industries, it’s possible for anyone to set up and call themselves an expert. It’s important you verify the credentials of anyone before you hand over the cash — but cheap packages should be one of your red flags as they usually involve black hat SEO techniques.

In the early days of SEO, it wasn’t unusual to see people using unethical strategies to increase their SERP position.

These violate Google’s terms — and you should avoid them at all costs. Black hat SEO techniques include:

• Paying for backlinks to increase your backlink profile,
• Keyword stuffing in website content (using the same keyword too much on one page),
• Using invisible text in your website content to trick the search engine.

Digital Meal recommend only using white hat SEO techniques & services to ensure your website won’t be penalized by Google.

Search engine optimisation (SEO) refers to activities you (or an agency) do to increase organic visibility and get you more website traffic from search engines.

They focus on getting your website a higher ranking in the search engine results for relevant keywords and generating a positive return on investment. An SEO strategy with a solid foundation will help you scale up your business, generating more leads & increasing local business.

A SERP — or Search Engine Results Page — is what a user sees once they’ve submitted their query to the search engine.

It contains a list of websites relevant to their search — including both organic results and paid advertisements. This is where we want to see your website following your work on SEO.

Here at Digital Meal, what we guarantee to our clients is an SEO strategy that ensures you’ll experience an increase in valuable organic traffic that generates more business, not just a bunch of worthless #1 keyword rankings.

Due to the nature of SEO services, it’s impossible to guarantee #1 keyword results or rankings.

And we highly recommend you be extremely wary of Melbourne SEO companies that make promises like this.

Most Melbourne SEO agencies require their clients to sign a contract.

However, at Digital Meal we don’t have any lock-in contracts for our clients.

As part of your personalised SEO strategy and quote, the timeline and list of actionable tasks will be outlined so you know exactly what we’re doing and what our process is. Armed with this information, our clients will know each step we take when building their SEO campaign.

Each Melbourne SEO agency has its own method of communicating results to the client. You may be assigned an account manager – or you may communicate with the project team directly.

At Digital Meal, you will be able to communicate directly with the SEO team working on your website and benefit from their experience.

Yes. One of the most critical elements of any quality SEO strategy is to stay on top of algorithm changes.

Google updates its search engine algorithm several times per year. While they do not usually make the details public, we know how to interpret what they mean for our clients.

No reputable SEO agency or SEO company will provide a warranty on search position.

Rankings are changing all the time — and vary according to location (especially when focusing on Local SEO).

Besides, there are more important metrics to consider. What really matters to your business — search position or online traffic and an increase in sales?

A successful SEO campaign should give you the following results:

• Increase in website traffic from organic search.
• A higher conversion rate.
• A better position on relevant SERPs.
• More high-quality backlinks.

Whilst keywords are a key component of SEO, the ultimate goal is organic growth and conversion of leads (sales).

For this reason, we don’t focus on “choosing a certain number of keywords” for our clients, but rather on “how much more online traffic and leads you’d like?”

Only a highly out of touch SEO agency would quote their clients based on a “number of keywords” basis.
