First, explain what SEO is and why it’s essential.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is optimizing a website and its content to increase its visibility on search engine result pages (SERPs). By increasing your visibility, you are growing website traffic, leads, and conversions, which can positively affect your bottom line. Explain that SEO helps maximize the potential of all other digital marketing efforts, such as pay-per-click advertising, social media, content creation, etc.
Discuss how SEO fits into the overall marketing strategy.
Explain how SEO needs to be part of your overall digital strategy and not just an afterthought or something separate from other digital activities. Also, point out how SEO is not primarily concerned with getting more traffic; instead, it’s about targeting the right kind of traffic (i.e., qualified buyers).
Describe the various components of an effective SEO strategy.
Talk about the various pieces of an effective SEO strategy, including keyword research, title tags, meta tags optimization, link building, content creation/optimization, etc., as well as some technical elements such as site speed optimization and ensuring mobile responsiveness/usability are in order. Explain that each piece is equally important in getting organic (free) search engine traffic – and that organic search is usually the top source for most websites’ web traffic.
Identify potential obstacles and solutions.
Discuss any potential obstacles that your team might encounter when implementing an effective SEO program, such as lack of resources (time or budget), limited technical knowledge or experience with particular tactics such as link building or running A/B tests, etc., competition from competitors who may have bigger budgets or teams dedicated solely to their strategies, etc. Outline possible approaches that could be implemented to overcome each obstacle if it were encountered down the road.
Speak to measurable success.
Point out whatever goals have been set for your team’s digital activities (e.g., increased sales or leads within a specific time frame). Explain how those goals can be worked towards through the use of effective SEO techniques and practices: whether it’s reducing bounce rate by creating better target landing pages, improving time on site by having more relevant content, improving conversion rates through strategic A/B testing, beating out competitor sites in SERPs via optimized page titles, etc. – all these things significantly improve organic search engine rankings which ultimately drive more visits towards key pages within a website resulting in increased sales/leads with continued investment in optimization techniques over time.
Offer up future possibilities with emerging trends.
Ensure you touch upon things like voice search optimization/optimization for schema markup, which offer further improvements once essential foundational work has been completed (e.g., keyword research & optimizing title descriptions on core pages). Additionally, brief executive leadership on any studies outlining growth trends so they understand where online presence should be focused for maximum ROI given current industry trends – things like rising global mobile usage stats, usage patterns for different social networks, etc.… All are designed to ensure that each digital puzzle piece fits together nicely!
Discuss critical takeaways briefly.
Make sure management knows what it takes to succeed consistently: analytics tracking setup & analysis process; allocation of budget based upon best ROI opportunities given data gathered through analytics; continual retargeting & experimentation with new tools & ideas are critical components in the future…in addition to focusing on providing valuable content / UX related benefits over top competitors through optimized SERP listings and targeted ads..all while continuing expanding presence & reach across primary mediums.
