With hundreds of thousands of businesses coming online every year, the competition for high ranking websites is growing. As companies are becoming ever more global, the need to attract the attention of target audiences is ever more important.

Therefore, the importance of SEO service providers is also growing. What are SEO service providers and how can they help your company's revenue grow?

Companies that specialise in optimising websites focus on a number of factors that are designed to increase the traffic to your website, but not just any traffic – high quality traffic. That is, attracting the audience that is most likely to be looking for the goods and services your business delivers and most likely to convert to paying customers.

How do they accomplish such magic? First, it's important to understand that while it sounds a little like magic, it's most definitely not magic. Optimisation is entirely related to good technical techniques and knowledge of the search engine optimisation rules.

Good SEO services will typically start with a solid keyword analysis that helps you target not only the most competitive keywords, but the best keywords in your industry space. You want to be sure that the provider you've chosen can explain how they created the keyword list and why those words were chosen over others.

Next, they will look at your business' website to optimise the content there. Website optimisation is an important step, and it should follow the keyword analysis work. They'll determine the title tags and Meta tags to be used to update your website's content and improve your page rankings. The provider you choose should be able to what website optimisation strategies they will be implementing. They should also explain the role of keyword density and how it plays into their optimisation strategy for your website.

Their knowledge of off-page optimisation techniques – like pay per click strategies – is another important factor and you should ask them how they intend to improve your website's ranking through off-page optimisation methods. A well implemented, well maintained pay per click campaign should come after the search engine optimisation and the website optimisation steps are complete, otherwise your PPC campaign could just send your target audience to web pages they don't understand or aren't matching their search criteria.

Pay per click services should be accompanied by a defined goal for return on investment. It's important that your SEO service provider offer an explanation of what return your business can expect and in what time frame. Any provider who is not prepared to explain this to you before implementing your PPC campaign should be suspect. If they are using bid management software to manage the pay per click campaign, you should ask some questions about how the software works to give your company a competitive advantage and whether the software provides information as to the current competitor bid prices.

In the long run, working with an SEO service provider that provides website optimisation and pay per click management in addition to simple keyword analysis is the best option for improving your website's performance and the return on your website investment. After all, what use is your business' website if all it is is pretty?
