HAVING A SMALL WEBSITE
You just can’t win in the search results in San Francisco with a one or two-page website. It’s impossible to have enough relevant content along with proper site structure and taxonomy on a 2 page website.
If you’re running a business in San Francisco with a website, you need 7 to 10 pages with 1000 to 2000 words per page minimum and an active blog that is updated regularly with new content. If you’ve been frustrated with your ranking in search results and have a very small site it’s time for a new website. We can help you.
DIRECTORIES
If you have a website for your business in San Francisco, you need to be listed on the proper directories. Just like you take the time to become listed with the BBB, or any other local associations for your industry, you need to be registered with the proper directories online, specifically: the directories that Google looks at. Your business core information NAP (Name Address and Phone number) all need to match exactly across these platforms as well. If you’re paying for San Francisco SEO service you can always ask your provider if you’ve been listed in Moz Local or on Yext. These two directories are must-haves and if you haven’t been listed here, your SEO is not doing their job.
How Nozak Consulting Takes San Francisco SEO Above & Beyond Industry Standards
Many SEO service providers here in San Francisco are typically lopsided when it comes to SEO. They are either heavy on “On Page SEO” or heavy on “Off Page SEO”. When your SEO is unbalanced between these two factors you’re going to have problems with ranking in search results.
On Page SEO refers to optimizing the content and structure on the pages of your website. This includes (Just to name a few):
- Proper Site Structure
- Image Optimization
- Sufficient Copy
- Internal Linking
- Many Additional Factors
Proper Site Structure
Long form content is king when it comes to SEO. Plain and simple. Too many San Francisco websites have very little copy on their pages, and if they have any significant amount of text it is typically poorly optimized. To truly make an impact on your site’s ranking you need to have at least 1000 to 2000 words on your pages. That sounds crazy right? But if none of your competitors are doing this and you are, you’re gonna crush them in search rankings. We can’t just stop there though, we’ve got to have that 1000 to 2000 words properly optimized, with a readable text size for mobile and proper heading texts at the appropriate spots just to name a few.
Image Optimization
Your site needs to be able to link to other relevant content internally. What exactly does that look like?
If you’re writing an article about a product or service that your business provides and you mention a complimentary service or product in the text, you need that text linking directly to the page with that product, service or information.
You should have many many references and links to relevant information on your website. This bolsters the overall score of your website for search results. Your internal linking structure is critical!
Off Page SEO is the active management and expansion of off page factors that affect your website’s ranking. This includes (Just to name a few):
- External Links
- Social Media
- Endorsements and Reviews
- Press Releases
- Much More
San Francisco External Links
Obtaining links from other websites is extremely valuable for your rankings within search results. This can be other businesses right here in San Francisco, or any other organizations that your business associates with. A solid SEO service, like Nozak Consulting will work actively and diligently to obtain new external links to your businesses website as a means of increasing your organic search ranking.
Social Media
You may have been avoiding this one for a while, but it has now become completely unavoidable for San Francisco businesses. Active social media accounts and sharing your businesses content actively and consistently is a huge part of a solid San Francisco SEO service. That’s why our SEO team is always on the offense for our clients when it comes to social media.
Endorsements & Reviews
Having a reputable source online endorse or recommend your organization is a huge win.
When an organization gives you a direct link from their website as a recommendation, Google recognizes that and translates it into your website being more valuable as a result.
Reviews are also a key indicator for search results, and encouraging your core customer base in San Francisco to leave reviews on Google, Yelp, Facebook and other online boards can provide a constant and consistent boost to your SEO metrics, helping you climb higher in search results.
Social Media
If your business is doing great work, why shouldn’t people know about it? Nozak Consulting regularly helps our clients obtain press coverage and specifically press coverage online. This is another situation where your website’s rank position can be rewarded because of a mention by a news organization.
So many San Francisco SEO factors. How do you keep track of them all?
As a San Francisco business owner, your time is already extremely in-demand. Adding another massive responsibility on your plate is not an option. That’s where investing in an SEO service can provide your business with the strength it needs to succeed online. Our team at Nozak Consulting has been helping our fellow Tulsa business owners since day 1, and we’ve continued to stay committed to helping our local marketplace, even as our services have expanded outside of Oklahoma and the United States.
San Francisco SEO Done Right is Worth the Investment
We’ve had clients tell us multiple times that they haven’t found a better investment than that of SEO service. And when you compare SEO to direct mail and other forms of advertising, it becomes apparent very fast that the difference is simple.
You can throw money at advertising for a short term gain, and we believe in advertising (See our PPC strategy here), or you could divert more resources to invest money back into your business with SEO services that help build your website up, and gain ground in the search results day after day, and month after month.
We sincerely believe in that investment and take our responsibility very seriously when you trust us with your SEO needs.
Nozak Consulting believes that San Francisco SEO should match the high quality of San Francisco businesses, and help them compete in the local, national and even international markets. We love helping San Francisco business win, and we’d love to help you.
Traditional San Francisco Marketing
It’s hard to go a week without seeing Nozak clients in the news.
Nozak Consulting excels in traditional marketing mediums such as television and print media. The group maintains close working relationships with local reporters, creating frequent opportunities to feature clientele on the news and in the paper.
Additionally, the company employs talented branding and graphic design experts to create visually enticing advertisements for local magazines, billboards, newspapers, et cetera.
San Francisco Viral Marketing Services
Nozak Consulting’s most impressive work is in viral marketing. Creative campaigning done right can produce dividends for a company. Take Harper’s Hut Shaved Ice, for instance.
In June, Nozak created a Facebook post advertising a drawing for free shaved ice all season long. Customers simply had to tag a friend in the comments to be entered into the drawing. The post ended up with more than 1,300 comments and resulted in the largest surge in web traffic in the business’s history.
The giveaway model has been replicated by other Nozak clients with stunning success.
The key to good marketing, as evidenced by Nozak Consulting, is an ability to think outside of the box. Partnering with Nozak Consulting for your marketing needs will get you out of any box and any rut, putting you at the top of your game.
According to a recent Gallup poll, 72% of U.S. adults use social media several times a day. Meanwhile, Pew Research reported in 2016 that 14% of adults listed social media as the most helpful news source with newspapers only getting 3% of the vote.
Traditional media is dying. Don’t let your business die with it.
Social Media Management
Social Media Marketing is something that can no longer be done passively. In recent years Facebook has taken steps to limit the reach of business pages. If you want to reach your community, you either have to spend significant money on Facebook boosting, or master the art of creating highly-shareable and engaging posts.
Nozak Consulting has an impressive resume of viral images, videos, and share-to-win giveaway campaigns. Branding and graphic-design expert Michael Robinson can create eye-catching and engaging designs in all the right dimensions for profile pictures, banner images, Instagram posts, etc.
Multimedia for Print
Not all images are created equal, and the pictures you use on Facebook won’t translate to effective advertisements in a magazine, on a flyer, on a banner, or on a billboard. Not only do the dimensions vary drastically from one medium to another, but the necessary design does as well.
It’s a lot easier to catch someone’s eye in a newspaper than it is while they’re driving down the road. Newspaper ads can be wordier, less colorful, and more informative. Magazine ads need to be vibrant to stand out from all of the other images. Banners need to be clean (meaning not cluttered), with only the absolute most-important information.
Nozak’s design team knows all the nuances of design and can help you create the most noticeable and memorable images in your community.
Marketing for Television
Just like images designed for social media are different from images designed for print, so too are videos designed for YouTube different from videos designed for television.
Consumers hate advertisements unless they’re entertaining. Viewers today spend the entire year muting the commercials, right up until the Super Bowl. They want to be entertained, not yelled at.
Look at the success of Lincoln Motor’s ad campaign starring Matthew McConaughey. Historically, car commercials have been loud and obnoxious with people yelling cheesy catch phrases and screaming about their latest deals. Sure, it helps to have an Academy Award winning actor, but what makes the commercials so unique is that they’re subtle, sleek, and engaging.
Whatever types of multimedia you want to engage, and we recommend that you engage them all, Nozak Consulting can help you concoct vivid creations that are guaranteed to bring in business.
