We provide comprehensive SEO services that are:

- Designed for steady and stable growth over time
Our SEO services provide your business with the processes required to get your website to rank higher in search engines—such as Google, Yahoo or Bing.

Media 9’s SEO service will improve website visibility by modifying your website to better reflect what your prospects are searching for and also helps the search engine crawlers read and index your website so that it is ranked accordingly.
Keyword Research is where it all begins
Since 85% of Internet users find websites through search engines and 90% of Internet users do not go past the top 30 search engine results it is vital therefore to rank high for the correct search terms and words. Before we even start a marketing campaign we have to take the time to carry out Keyword Research based upon your companies target audience. We take into consideration the industry you are in, demographics, services being offered, competitors etc… to identify the phrases your potential customers will be typing into the search engines such as Google.
Generate more traffic for your website and make it more profitable through SEO
Keyword Research is the most important component in our SEO services tool box and is at the core of your SEO marketing strategy, it is vital to rank high in the search engines to generate more website traffic and then it is just as important to ensure your website converts those visitors into leads and sales. Once on your website, visitors must be converted to customers, statistically passive conversion can be very low – sometimes as low as 1% -4% so conversion has to be a fundamental design consideration of your website. A useful tool for this is Landing Pages that are specifically designed for that purpose. Then you will also need to consider a more proactive approach to further increase conversion rates – and this is where our Marketing Analytics Software comes into its own by identifying the company name of your site visitors, even if they do not fill out any forms our software will identify them so you can then target them proactively.
With every SEO Campaign we develop and implement – Content Creation is a key focus
With the correct choice of SEO services and optimisation of on-site architecture, navigation, keywords and content creation you can build a search engine friendly site. Then the next stage is to write great content. Quite simply the better the content that is linked to your website and brand the higher your website will rank in the search engines. By creating a blog and integrating it within your website and producing high quality, unique content that’s specific to your industry and of interest to your audience on a regular basis we can positively impact on your rankings within the search engines. The results you’ll see will be organic and long-lasting (and with a little development, we can also help you to utilise the blog for a range of other purposes, including marketing and lead generation). Plus, if you choose our content creation services you can be assured of great quality content at all times – we write all of the content in-house.
Develop a strategy
We will develop a bespoke SEO services strategy for your business based upon your website review, website analytics, a thorough understanding of your business, on-site architecture and keyword research. This will be followed up with a variety of off-site tactics such as link building campaigns with an aim to generate specifically relevant traffic to your website that can result in leads and sales. This will in turn improve your search engine ranking and move your website up the search rankings.
