What is Organic SEO ?
Organic SEO (search engine optimization) is the art and science of improving the search engine ranking of a website using “organic” or unpaid search results. This is different than driving traffic to your site using pay-per-click advertising (PPC) and takes both time and dedication to create the best results.
Spider-driven search engines, such as Google, use “robots” or “crawlers” to rank websites across the Internet.
Since Google and other prominent search engines constantly change their algorithms in an effort to maintain purity in their search engine results pages (SERP), it is essential that your website receive ongoing on-page and off-page optimization, adjustments, updates, and backlink enhancements congruent with up-to-date techniques and formulas.
There is no magic when it comes to SEO. A quality search engine optimization campaign is unique to the company it serves, takes time and dedication, and is formulated through different components. The two primary components of SEO are on-page and off-page optimization.
On-page optimization refers to enhancing the visible content on your website and adding meta tags to the backend of your site (only visible by search engines) to aid search engines in finding your content. This is not about fooling search engines, but rather working within search engine guidelines to make your website more visible. Off-page optimization is the process by which your content is discussed and your key phrases highlighted on other sites. It also involved bringing backlinks to your site from high-quality external websites.

Kuware’s Search Engine Marketing Process
1. Understanding Your Business
Our strategy is simple: to develop the best Search Engine Marketing plan for you, we take the time to learn your business. A Kuware Search Engine Marketing campaign begins with a meeting in which you explain the fine points of your business. We take your lead, perform further research, and present a SEO strategy that meets your company’s unique needs.
2. Search Engine Optimization
The next step is to begin the on-site and off-site optimization process. On-Site Optimization: This includes the content visible on the website & the meta content which is only seen by search engines. We will help you refine and optimize this content to encourage search engines to find your site. It is completed at the beginning of the SEO process & is refined on an ongoing basis. Off-Site Optimization: This is the work done on other sites to increase your site ranking. Typically, this will include building links, publishing articles & blog, commenting in forums, creating videos promotions & publishing press releases. It is an ongoing process which must continue to help gain & maintain a high ranking on search engines.
3. Performance Tracking
It is important to track the results of your site’s SEO progress in a quantitative manner. This way, we can determine if the campaign has been successful or if we need to make improvements. The usual metrics we use to track SEO are Search Engine Rankings, Leads Generated, and Return on Investment (ROI).
4. Campaign Adjustments
After we have evaluated the performance of your SEO campaign, we will begin to make minor (and ongoing) adjustments to continually improve the campaign.
