What SEO Services Do We Offer?
A thorough website SEO audit forms the foundation of any SEO plan. We take a deep dive into your current online presence, identifying opportunities for improvement and spotting issues that can be fixed to boost your brand’s authority.
As part of our website SEO services, we examine:
- Your website structure
- Your Google Search Console data
- Your competitors
To gain key insights and achieve the best results, we utilize a suite of advanced SEO tools. These tools allow us to take a strategic approach to your audit, resulting in a strong and competitive SEO plan.
Audit Timeline:
The duration of a typical website audit varies based on the size and complexity of the site. Generally, it takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Here is a rough guide:
- Small websites:Â 1-3 days
- Medium websites:Â 3-5 days
- Large or complex websites:Â 7-10 days
The process involves a comprehensive review of various elements, including technical SEO, on-page SEO, off-page SEO, local SEO, and competitor analysis. This ensures all potential issues are identified and effectively addressed.
We help you discover the keywords that align with your business and services. We ensure all new content utilizes these critical keywords or phrases to help you rank higher in search results.
We use tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and SEMrush to achieve this. These platforms show us keywords you already rank for, keywords your competitors rank for, and valuable new keyword suggestions for your industry. We analyze search volume, competition levels, and ranking difficulty. This data helps us select the best terms to target, ensuring more customers can find you online.
Why is keyword research critical for your business?
If you notice any of the signs below, your current keyword strategy may need adjustment:
- Declining Traffic:Â A decrease in organic search traffic can indicate your keywords are no longer effective or relevant to current trends. People may be searching for something different than what you are targeting.
- Low Conversion Rates:Â High traffic with low conversions suggests your keywords are attracting the wrong audience, or that they are informational rather than commercial in nature.
- High Bounce Rates: If visitors leave your site quickly, it implies your content doesn’t match their search intent or fails to answer their questions immediately.
- Stagnant Rankings: If your rankings haven’t improved in a long time, it’s time to rethink your strategy.
- Changes in Search Patterns:Â Shifts in industry trends can render your current keywords obsolete.
- Competitor Performance:Â If competitors are outperforming you for key terms, you should analyze their strategies and adjust yours accordingly.
- New Products or Services:Â Launching new offerings requires revising your keywords to ensure they align with your updated business model.
Regularly monitoring these indicators helps you stay agile and make timely adjustments to your keyword strategy.

Our Houston SEO services include link-building strategies tailored to your needs to boost your online presence.
Link building plays a pivotal role in SEO. It involves acquiring hyperlinks from other websites to your own. These backlinks act as “votes of confidence,” helping search engines like Google and Bing understand how relevant and trustworthy your site is. High-quality backlinks from respected sources can improve your rankings and drive more organic traffic.
At Houston Digital Marketing, we help clients get quality backlinks by making custom content. One strong backlink can do more for your SEO campaign than many weak links.
Putting emphasis on quality instead of quantity is crucial. Getting links from trusted and related websites has a bigger impact than having lots of links from less credible places.
On-page optimization significantly impacts your business’s ability to keep up with changing trends. We enhance individual web pages to draw more targeted traffic from search engines.
Our Houston SEO services include thorough on-page enhancements, such as:
- Meta Title Tags
- Meta Descriptions
- Header Tags (H1, H2, etc.)
- Image Alt Tags
- Website Content Optimization
- URL Structure
- Structured Data (Schema)
Our specialists ensure your website adheres to over 200 ranking factors by following current SEO best practices and guidelines.
Technical SEO is about making your website’s structure better so search engines can crawl and index it. Our team of tech SEO pros will put into action a bunch of technical fixes to make your site more accessible to both crawlers and people who visit. Here are some key parts of technical SEO that we fine-tune:
Website Speed: Making sure your website loads fast on phones and computers.
Mobile-Friendliness: As more people use phones, it’s key to have a design that works well on all devices. Google now uses mobile-first indexing, which means it looks at the mobile version of your site to rank and index it.
XML Sitemaps: Making and submitting an XML sitemap helps search engines grasp your website’s layout and find all your pages.
Robots.txt: This file tells search engines which pages they can or can’t crawl on your website. Setting it up right makes sure search engines zero in on the key parts of your site.
Structured Data: Adding structured data (or schema markup) helps search engines get what’s on your pages better, which can boost your search listings with rich snippets.
Canonical Tags: Using canonical tags helps stop duplicate content problems by pointing out the main version of a page.
HTTPS: Making your website secure with HTTPS is something search engines look at when ranking sites. It also keeps the data flowing between your site and users under wraps.
URL Structure: URLs that are easy to read and include key words can make your site easier to crawl and improve how users interact with it.
404 Pages: When you create custom 404 pages, you can keep visitors who end up on broken links by giving them useful ways to navigate.
Internal Linking: When you link your pages together well, it helps spread the authority of each page across your site and makes it easier for search engines to go through your pages.
For Houston local businesses, 50% of your potential customers never make it past the Google Map Pack. If you aren’t in the top 3 map results, you are invisible. We don’t just optimize your website; we engineer your Google Business Profile (GBP) to dominate local maps.
