An introduction to SEO
By Zoë Northridge
Our digital ecosystem:
it’s all
c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d
So what the hell is…
Why are
search
engines
important?
Understanding user intent by type of
search query
(to buy something, to get an offer code, to register for
something)
Transactional
Navigational
Informational
(to look for something specific – e.g. your brand - using
the search engine as a proxy)
(to find out something e.g. weather – doesn’t require
many clicks)
How does
Google
work?
Spiders crawl the web using links
2. Keywords
(relevance)1. Links
(authority)
• External links aka backlinks
How can a bot get to your website – what external
links link to you?
• Internal links
Can the bot crawl through your website, and not
just to it?
Type of links
Links affect content as without them, content won’t
be read
All links are not created equal
Keywords affect content too
Ranking vs traffic
• Yes it’s important to rank highly on the search engine
results page
• But don’t forget about traffic
• E.g. sometimes you get more traffic to your site from
being ranked fourth in relation to a popular search term,
compared to being ranked first for a less popular search
term. Always look at traffic and conversions too.
Areas of the Search Engine Results Page
(SERP)
This is a featured snippet
Meta-descriptions
Structured data & sub-structure results
Optimise content for social sharing
From this To this
SEO is a long term game.
But here are some quick wins:
• Do a link audit for your sites
• Use Moz Keyword Explorer to find out your keywords and use them
• Link Google Search Console to your Google Analytics & CMS analytics
• Ensure web pages always have meta titles and descriptions for the SERP
• Optimise content for social shares (e.g. with meta images)
How do we adapt
to the ‘no click’
Google?
Make your brand
more searchable
than the thing itself.
Why should
we care
about digital
disruption?
Because it is happening to every industry at
an unprecedented rate
Fail Succeed
