Decoding SEO: How Feel Design Gets You to the Top of Google Search
In today’s digital-first world, having a beautiful website is no longer enough. Your website is your digital storefront, but if no one can find it, it’s like opening a shop on a deserted island. This is where the magic of Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO, comes in. For businesses in Southport and the surrounding areas, understanding and implementing a solid SEO strategy is the key to unlocking a steady stream of local customers. At Feel Design Web Design Southport, we don’t just build stunning websites; we build websites that work for you, and we have been doing it for over 25 years.
More Than Just Keywords: The Feel Design Philosophy
The term “SEO” can sound intimidating, often conjuring images of complex algorithms and technical jargon. In simple terms, SEO is the process of optimising your website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) like Google. The higher you rank, the more visibility you get, and the more potential customers you can attract. While some people think SEO is just about stuffing a few keywords onto a page, we know from building hundreds of websites over two and a half decades that it’s a sophisticated, multi-faceted discipline.
Our philosophy at Feel Design is built on a foundation of long-term success. We don’t chase quick fixes or resort to ‘black-hat’ tactics that can get your site penalised. Instead, we focus on building a robust, sustainable SEO strategy that delivers lasting results. This approach has allowed us to serve a huge client base, from small local businesses in Southport to some of the biggest names in the UK and beyond. Our portfolio includes large clients like Samuel Smiths Brewery, Newby Hall, Bolton Castle, BT, the NHS, and even prestigious institutions like Cambridge University and Imperial College. Our work with these clients speaks to a level of trust and expertise that we bring to every project, no matter the size.
The Pillars of Our SEO Success
How do we do it? We approach SEO from several key angles, ensuring every element of your website is working in harmony to improve your search rankings.
1. Technical SEO: A well-built website is the bedrock of good SEO. We start with a clean, fast, and mobile-friendly foundation. Google prioritises websites that load quickly and offer a seamless experience on all devices. Our web design services ensure your site is technically sound, with proper site architecture, clean code, and a logical structure that search engines can easily crawl and understand.
2. On-Page SEO: This involves optimising the content and HTML source code of a page. This is where we integrate our content creation expertise. We help you create high-quality, relevant content that not only attracts your target audience but also signals to Google what your business is all about. This includes optimising titles, meta descriptions, headers, and the content itself with carefully researched keywords that are relevant to your Southport-based business and services like web design, logo design, and branding.
3. Local SEO: For businesses in Southport, local SEO is non-negotiable. We focus on getting your business found by customers specifically looking for your services in your local area. This involves optimising your Google Business Profile, building local citations, and creating location-specific content. We know the local landscape and we know how to make your business the go-to choice for people searching for “web design Southport” or “graphic design in Southport.”
4. Link Building: Think of links from other websites to yours as votes of confidence. The more high-quality, relevant links you have, the more authority Google sees in your site. We work to build a strong backlink profile for your business, securing links from reputable sources that demonstrate your expertise and credibility.
5. Content Creation: Google loves fresh, valuable content. Our content creation services are designed to fuel your SEO efforts. Whether it’s writing engaging blog posts, creating compelling website copy, or crafting effective press releases, we help you become an authority in your field. This not only improves your search rankings but also builds trust with your audience.
6. Social Media Management: While social media isn’t a direct ranking factor, a strong social presence amplifies your content and drives traffic to your website. Our social media management services help you create a cohesive online presence, boosting your brand visibility and attracting more eyes to your content, which in turn can lead to more backlinks and improved SEO performance.
