Search Engine Optimization – SEO
Ranking your site high in searches is a big part of getting the results you want. Most people never read past the first 5 search results, let alone click past the first page. If you don’t make the top 10, your site may as well not exist to most users. Rating high in searches for your relevant keywords is absolutely essential to online survival today, and getting those high rankings is never just an accident.
What is Search Engine Optimization?
SEO involves fine-tuning your site’s content so it gets ranked higher and searched more thoroughly. We will design your site structure, titles, meta-data, content, and links in specific ways that make it easy for Google to recognize your site as relevant and important to users.
Some of the ways we do this:
- Conducting keyword research and analysis.
- Maintaining a site that’s relevant to your visitors’ needs.
- Creating and publishing excellent content.
- Link building to improve link popularity.
- Using social media links on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
- Improving your site’s navigation to provide a great user experience.

content cannot simply be created- it must be shared and

high quality content on websites that have already become popular, but
they cannot generate this popularity. This is a task that demands

Search engines use robots to index or “crawl” your site pages, reading and storing certain information they use to determine, through a series of digital algorithms, how relevant it is to particular search queries.
The search engines will rate your site according to traits that humans typically find valuable. The key to high search ranking is creating a site that’s relevant and useful to real people, while using strategic word placement, high-quality content, clear link structures, and other coding and formatting elements that the engines can understand.

when they want someone just like you?
We learned the value of keyword selection ourselves back when MagicLamp first started in the San Francisco Bay area. We optimized our site for search terms like “San Francisco Web Design,” “San Jose Web Design,” and “Berkeley Web Design,” covering the names of all major nearby cities. We got onto page one of Google and then into position number one for those searches, but strangely, we weren’t getting many leads from them. After some in-depth keyword analysis, we found out that clients were searching on the term “Bay Area Web Design,” instead of all the individual city names we had worked to include! This actually made a lot of sense, considering the Bay Area is regional, much like the DFW Metroplex. Clients don’t necessarily care if the business is in their particular town, they search by the region’s name instead. Once we realized our mistake, we re-optimized the site for “Bay Area” and bingo, we saw traffic light up immediately. Leads started coming in, we gained partnerships with large clients like NBC, and our business took off, just because of a small change in our search terms. It turns out that this isn’t an uncommon oversight for web businesses!
Today, MagicLamp uses a network of powerful research tools to make sure you’re pursuing the most relevant terms for your company, so you can get the most out of your SEO practices.
