You may be noticing there are a lot of companies to choose from when you're looking for the right SEO company for your website or business. Which one will get the best results? Choosing an organic SEO company is a good place to start. This phrase is a little foreign to many people, so we are going to look a little more closely at it.
Instead of just a couple simple solutions to your website SEO, an organic SEO company will help to foster an environment in which your website continues to grow search engine results over time. Traditional SEO companies use things like pay per click advertising and a couple select keywords to promote a website. While this may prove some results in the short term, how long do you really want to be paying for individual clicks. If you stop the service, those leads stop with it.
Instead, by using an organic SEO company, you will not only be ranked for the keywords you are paying for (as with pay per click campaigns) but also your website will be ranked higher for long tail keywords that will add more hits to your website. Once your website is ranked well organically for a keyword it will also rank well for related, long tail keywords. This is one of the major benefits of organic SEO.
Let's use an example of a company that sells table lamps. While your main keyword may be 'lamps' or 'table lamps', once your website is recognized as an authority for those keywords (which will not happen through pay per click) it will begin to be ranked well for other terms. These could be terms like 'end table lamp', 'decorative table lamp' or 'contemporary coffee table lamp'. Google has told us that its average search term length is 4 words and half of the terms searched are unique. That means that all you have to do is tap into the right keyword trunk and your website appears at all the tips of the right branches, multiplying your efforts. That is the real power of organic SEO—you get sustained results not just for the terms you are focusing on, but for many related terms.
Although individual long tail SEO terms will not get as many searches as 'table lamps' or 'lamps', a lot of those added up will mean even more website visitors. One of our websites is ranked in the #1 position for “cabin furniture.” While many of our website visitors find the site by searching for that term, 75% of the website traffic come from long tail variations of “cabin furniture.” Even better, when things like pay-per-click run out, those long tail keywords will still be working for you and bringing in search results for a long time to come.
You need to think of an organic SEO company as a company that is a marathon runner and is just being a sprinter who may look good upfront but isn't so great in the long run. The other company may be able to sprint up front with those pay-per-clicks, but the organic SEO company will end up winning the race with a long and continued pace that keeps your website ranking in the search engines.
