SEO can be quite the investment since you get what you pay for. You can find SEO agencies and individuals who will entice you with low prices and promise you’ll see your SEO ROI quickly, but they can afford this, since it usually means they use shady tactics to rank you.Year after year, SEO agencies and individuals will entice you with low prices and promise you’ll see the ROI of SEO quickly, but they can afford this, because they usually use shady tactics to rank you.because they usually use shady tactics to rank you. Google will also penalize you for those same tactics, which can even result in you getting kicked off the SERPs entirely.

Therefore, a good SEO agency will usually be a little pricey, but when you invest in SEO, you invest in being searchable, in being an industry leader, in maintaining your reputation, and in keeping up with the market.

Some businesses and professionals worry, however, that they may not be getting the most for their money.Some businesses and professionals worry, however, that they may not be getting the most for their money. Perhaps you want to try SEO on your own, but aren’t sure if it will work. As a result, I wrote this post to help you maximize your SEO ROI.

Identify your goals to measure SEO ROI

Websites have goals, and these goals can be measured. Your website’s primary goal can be to sell products or build a subscriber base. In these cases, you can set up your goals and funnels in Google Analytics to be able to measure your revenue or the number of subscribers.

Here in New York  there is a coworking space called WorkPlays. It is the main objective of the WorkPlays website to have leads inquire about the spaces available and to schedule a visit. We put the goals into Google Analytics so they can be measured once they’ve been identified.

There are three measurable goals as you can see:

• Clicking the “schedule” button on the homepage.

• Filling up the form on the contact page.

• Successfully scheduling a visit.

We will be able to track the conversions of these three goals to see how our SEO efforts are performing. If we do not establish goals, we will not have a benchmark by which to measure our progress.

Get to know your customers

Our next step should be to research our customer base so that we can create buyer personas and ensure our content is tailored to their needs. By understanding what your customers want, you will be able to determine the kind of messaging you should use and the kind of content you should create. Even if we write good content, if it isn’t complete the customers need what they want, then our efforts will be a waste.

Some companies make the mistake of trying to sell their products without first finding out if their customers want the kind of product that they are selling. When your product does not address a customer’s pain point or speak to their needs, why would they buy your product or consume your content? As a result, conducting customer research is important, and you can choose to do so either through interviews or surveys.

When you learn more about your customer base, you can start creating buyer personas. Hootsuite defines buyer personas as detailed descriptions of fictional (or semi-fictional) people who represent your target market. Therefore, your messages or content should be tailored to your buyer persona to make them more relevant and compelling for your audience.

Additionally, buyer personas help you put yourself in the shoes of your target market in order to predict their keywords and create messaging and content that speaks to their needs.

Research your target keywords

You can maximize your SEO ROI by researching your target keywords after you have identified your target audience and created buyer personas. Since you have already put yourself in the shoes of your audience as mentioned in the previous section, a clear understanding of who they are and what they need will be extremely helpful when coming up with keywords.

As an example, let’s say WorkPlays creates a buyer persona, Liz, who is the CEO of a small startup company. Since she has limited funds, she believes renting an office would be overkill and that renting coworking spaces instead would be prudent. The members of her team also live closer to Las Pias City than they do to Makati, so they prefer to meet there once in a while. How would Liz go about finding a coworking space using Google?

Perhaps she could search for “coworking space Las since that is what she is looking for. Based on Liz’s description of her needs, “coworking space” or “coworking space brooklyn” do not match her search intent.

As a result of their knowledge of their persona’s intent, WorkPlays was able to optimize the keyword and show up as the first organic result in Google.

Our company uses tools such as Ahrefs to perform keyword research for our clients.

Create informative and optimized content

Nevertheless, keywords are only one part of the equation, as it is also necessary to have high-quality content. Assume you identified your customer base and that you came up with good keywords to use. If the content you produce is substandard, they won’t matter much.

Creating high quality content is essential to your SEO efforts because it attracts customers to your website, establishes your brand, and frames you as a leader in your field. Getting people’s trust involves showing them that you know what you’re talking about, that you have answers to their questions, and that you’re willing to share those answers. The quality of your content will also increase your rankings quickly since people will naturally link to it and promote it. Search engines such as Google will see this as a sign of trustworthiness. Remember that people are at the core of our work, even as we optimize for search engines. Therefore, if people find your content to be good and useful, Google is likely to do so as well.

For instance, WorkPlays has this article about maximizing coworking space in Las Pi City.

Not only will you find tips and tricks in this post, but you will also learn the benefits of working close to home. The tone of the post isn’t about selling WorkPlays, but rather about helping people figure out how they can make the most of their space as you read it. This can be persuasive to any professional or company on the fence about renting coworking spaces.

Also, at SEO, we include high quality SEO copywriting as part of our SEO packages. We know SEO is a long game, and businesses usually have too much on their plate to have to regularly write high-quality blog posts that are optimized and that they have to promote.

Build connections

In addition to high quality content, you must also promote it. Your blog post could be wasted if it sits there waiting for a reader to stumble across it. In addition to link building, guest posting is one of the most important ways to promote the content we publish.

As an example, imagine you have written a blog post about social listening and monitoring, and you shared it with Alan, a professional in the same industry, who found it valuable. It would be great if you could recommend tools or provide a different perspective on the topic. Let us suppose Alan wrote an article related to yours and linked to it. As a result, you got a backlink.
