SEO Strategy Report Structure
-
I am looking to get a structure for an SEO strategy document. While I understand that the specific tactics that you will used will vary significantly from project to project I would love to get my hands on a document that has heading that should be covered off in an SEO strategy report. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks

Yep I think between the two I should be in a really good place. Thanks

Conor,
Okay. Are you looking specifically for content creation or what needs to be done as a SEO provider?
Clickminded.com has a great general SEO Checklist that's new for 2015 called The 2015 SEO Checklist.Is that more of what you are looking for?

Nope I think I may be asking for something that is impossible to product. I think what I am trying to get to is a hybrid between the 8 steps from above and then a checklist for content creation that can be shared with anyone producing content. I want a document that lays out a general strategic approach to SEO as well as having the basic hygiene factor best practices included. Is there a template for anything like that?

Connor,
That can be difficult as each client is looking for something different. Most customers, in my experience, has wanted to know every detail. Usually its page 1 search results, and you can see how many pages on the site is on front page compared to how many aren't and how that has changed due to your efforts. Other things like conversions and/or traffic is easy using any web-page analytic software.
Is that a little better for you, or am I still missing the question?Alex Brown

Thanks yes I had come across this and it is very helpful. My question was more to do with a structure for presenting an SEO strategy to clients/internal stakeholders. So how do you structure a document that outlines the SEO process. What needs to be included and what can you leave out?

Hi Connor,
I'm not quite sure what you're asking for. If I understand correctly you're looking for an outline for the step-by-step process of SEO?
Although this is an older article, I believe it to be a great outline and still use it!
Please let me know if this helps!

Linkbuilding Strategies for Tourism
I work within the Tourism industry (more specifically, for a Destination Marketing Organization type of business). We currently have hundreds of partners within our general area and wanted to know if it would be advisable to request our travel/tourism partners to show their support of our organization by direct-linking to our site by using a "partner-verified" badge?

Local SEO issue
Hello, I have a client that is located just outside of Baltimore, MD. Their zip code is 21236, which is seen as sometimes Nottingham and sometimes Overlea. Their competitors come up for Baltimore with the same zip. This client seems to be having some problems, and I think it is because of this geo confusion? Is this so, and if so, how can I make location more clear to Google? Thanks

Has anyone been to SMX or any other SEO Conference?
Hello All, I have been given the opportunity to go to several conferences. But like most SEO guys, I have a tone of work, and need to use my time sparingly. The one conference that has peaked my interest is SMX. I was wondering if anyone has been to SMX before and if they recommend it. Also if anyone has any other conferences they would recommend, preferrably on the east coast, that would be interesting please let me know. Any answers are appreciated. Thank you.

Build a site, do SEO work on it and sell it?
Does anybody do this? With success? I keep finding industries right here in my local area (concrete work, home security, painting) that have 4-5 local companies that are competing and NONE of them are doing even the most BASIC items to seo their site or capitalize on ANYTHING online. I could pick 7-8 of these industries and have somebody who works for me spend a couple hours a week on each building links and writing a half way interesting blog post, etc. and once they rank higher than most of the competition sell em for 2-3 grand I bet, especially since I can prove how much traffic they are getting. Thoughts? Thanks for weighing in. Matthew

Choosing an SEO Company
Hi Guys, My first question for the forum. So here's my question, everyone in here has something to do with seo, but how would you choose an seo company. There are many a wild claim made by so many companies. Having done seo on our portfolio for about 6 years, however now I just dont have the time to spend. In my initial inquires I have asked for examples of their work and run a back link analysis to see the kind of links they have been building for their clients but so far all I have found is a load of directory links and no real innovation. I would be interested in your thoughts of how to sound out some companies. Thanks Alex

Keyword Strategy
I am working with a company that has had a few "SEO Experts" work on it's site over the last year. The strategy these "experts" used to generate keywords is to optimize on many general keywords and, when mixed all together, make the keywords they are optimizing against. For example, they did photo printing. They would optimize for the keywords: photo prints printing print photographs photography 4x6 cheap .... Maybe I am missing something, but I have never seen a keyword list managed this way... is this "normal"? Is this something "new" I am missing? Any advice or strategy tips on this one? Thanks in advance!
