Search Engine Optimisation Explained
Let’s understand Search Engine Optimisation with an example. Imagine a giant clockwork machine that requires many gears to work in order to function. Now, if all these gears are well-maintained, the machine is going to work flawlessly. Comparing that with SEO, these gears represent different aspects that must function together properly to increase the SERP (Search Engine Result Page – Wikipedia) ranking. In layman’s terms, these practices are followed to get that #1 position on search results with specific keywords.
Traffic and revenue generated by driving traffic to your website through search results are considered organic traffic. Organic refers to landing visitors on your pages through unpaid results on search engines. To do so, you have to follow the best SEO practices and be determined, patient, and ready to experiment. Once you find the right SEO strategy for your business, the traffic will begin to flow in, consistently.
Remember that SEO takes time to actually be effective to the point that it may even take months. We would also advise investing in advertising your website if you want a head-start. This cocktail will also give you some SEO boost in the long run that would be profitable for you. Contact us to know more today!
Content Marketing
Content marketing is a newly emerging strategy that has been helping businesses to grow by taking a different approach to promoting a business. Digital Lime Green can help you in writing and providing quality, valuable and relevant content that follows the best SEO practices to improve your online presence.
Content marketing focuses on promoting relevant information about the products and services you are offering. It focuses on the importance and benefits of the relevant services or products rather than focusing on the sales pitch. While this approach has been favoured by many, one must understand the importance of SEO practices. Primarily, your content should be relevant to the topic/product and it should be keyword-focused, well-sorted, well-optimised, and so on.
A content marketeer regularly focuses on updating a website’s blog and check for inconsistencies in relevant SEO practices. Digital Lime Green will help you in the process of generating a definitive and highly convertible audience. We will use best SEO practices to make sure your content appears in the search engine results effectively. Connect with us to know more about our services!
Link Building
Link building plays an important role in SEO, especially if your website is in a competitive niche. Even if your website is very authentic, has quality content, and provides a good user experience, link building can give you an advantage. Digital Lime Green can help you understand various strategies required to help you build a good backlink network.
Link building is the practice of generating backlinks for your website. These links should be from reputed websites having topically relevant content. Backlinks from such websites are going to give a serious boost to your SEO juice that will improve your index ranking drastically. Remember that spammy links or deliberately buying links from someone are considered bad SEO practices and when caught, you may end up losing your index ranking or may get banned permanently as well.
Digital Lime Green will make sure all the backlinks are of quality, and follow Google Webmaster’s Guidelines. Remember that backlinks have to be earned through creating quality content, assessing your competition, and knowing your target audience. Reach out to us to understand how this process works!
Website Speed
Website speed refers to the time taken for loading web pages on a website and the function response delay. Google SEO has a system that also counts a website’s speed as a factor for index ranking. Digital Lime Green can help you in optimising your webpage elements to improve your overall loading and response time.
Your website speed matters on a variety of factors. Our first option would be to find a proper hosting service. Your location and the server-side speed of your host matters. Secondly, we have to tweak your website elements to make them load quicker. For example, if an image alone on your website takes 5 seconds to load on average, consider lowering its file size. A 512KB image would load faster than a 2MB one. Your website speed would also affect the response time from elements like buttons, link clicks and so on.
Digital Lime Green understands the importance of such technical optimisations and we will help you optimise all the elements wherever necessary. There are many aspects to how we can optimise your website for you to increase your PageSpeed ranking on Google. Reach out to us to know more!

We’ll also guide you in coming up with a different, personalised strategy if necessary.

On-page SEO is associated with appearing in Google search as a relevant search result for certain keywords. One would say that on-page SEO practices are literally made for matching with the keywords.

Off-page SEO
Off-page SEO talks about everything that does not directly appear on your website. This is a practice related to link building, social media – establishing your presence on third-party websites. Digital Lime Green can help you in approaching the best methods for improving your off-page SEO performance.
The most primary and well-known aspect of Off-page SEO is link building. We already have covered how link building is really important and how it can affect your website’s visibility. Search engines calculate the number of quality backlinks your website has to determine your SEO ranking. But there’s more to off-page SEO than just backlinks. Social media does not directly affect your SEO ranking but it is indeed effective in driving traffic to your page and promoting your brand/products/services. Google’s Quality Rater Guidelines (p.11, 2.5) states that your reputation outside, such as third-party reviews, testimonials also matter. Your website must incorporate quality content and follow the best SEO practices overall.
Digital Lime Green will assist you effectively in building your backlink network and following other practices. Remember that purchasing/gifting links is considered unethical and Google condemns such practices. Connect with us to know more about the process!

To understand how your website SEO is performing, an occasional website audit helps. Generate a detailed and insightful report and understand which aspects of your website can be improved. SEO oriented audit checks on-page content such as page optimisation, layout, content, keyword optimisation and many more. Furthermore, on-page SEO also focuses on the technicalities of your website.

A website audit is a huge topic that focuses on all the aspects of your website. Digital Lime Green will thoroughly audit your website occasionally as part of our package. Reach out to us to know more about this.
Strategic Analysis
There are so many SEO strategies available to improve your overall index ranking but choosing the right strategy for you is always a challenge. The early phases of your website will always have to follow experimental practices. And when there’s an experiment, the analysis is important. Digital Lime Green can help you understand whether your strategy is effective or not: whether it’s an experimental practice or a practice that has been proven successful for you.
SEO strategic analysis is popularly known as SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats. This should be your basic approach no matter what strategy you choose to improve your SEO performance. In this analysis, one should analyse which elements of your websites are actually a hindrance and are impacting your SEO score negatively. One should also focus on understanding whether there is a better approach to already good practices.
Such strategies will help you understand an even better approach to promoting your website and improving your visibility. Know how Digital Lime Green can help you in the process by contacting us here!

Digital Lime Green can help you research and plan SEO oriented content as well as your site structure.
Keyword research is the primary phase of your content research strategy. Your idea for the business should revolve around the keywords you are focusing on. Next, your site should be well-structured.

HTML Markup
A website’s content backup is nothing but HTML markup text that defines the formatting, text layout, anchor links, and much more. It plays an important role as Google crawlers look for sorted content and keywords in various aspects of your HTML formatted text. There are various CMS that comes up with in-built HTML formatting. Digital Lime Green will use proper formats to make your content dynamic, well-sorted, and SEO friendly.
With CMS tools, one may not require technical knowledge behind HTML while designing their website, but you still need to understand how they affect the SEO value. For example, your title tag is the most important one so it should include your focused keyword, preferably at the very beginning. Your meta description tag is just like a very short synopsis that will appear on the SERP when users search for it. Header tags are used in sorting out the sub-topics in your content.
Depending on how you use these tags, your SEO score gets affected. Digital Lime Green can help you understand the process and allow effective usage of these tags to improve your overall SEO score. Connect with us to know more about this today!
Domain Authority
Domain Authority is a software developed by Moz. It rates your website on a scale of 1 to 100 in terms of visibility across SERPs. You might be doing everything right, and yet your website is not yielding the expected results. Digital Lime Green would recommend using Domain Authority checker to see how your website is actually doing. It predicts how likely your website would be ranked on SERPs.
Using Moz’s Domain Authority is very easy as they have provided various methods to use their tools. Moz states that the software considers 40 factors to calculate the DA score. Backlinking is the most important factor in calculating your domain authority score. A site with a high amount of backlinks from high DA websites is likely to improve your score tremendously. DA score is calculated based on the high ranking websites and hence it can fluctuate when there’s a new peak globally.
The score is supposed to give you an idea about how your website is doing overall, but that does not mean you should solely focus on increasing the score all the time. Understand the right approach with our expert assistance and understand how you can improve the overall quality of your website, not just the score. Connect with us to know more!
Social Engagement
Social engagement plays an important role in drawing SEO juice on your website and there are various means to do so. Digital Lime Green can help you understand the best approach to social interactions by designing your website in an engagement-friendly manner. We will help you integrate various useful social media plugins to allow users to interact with your website through their social media account such as sharing, commenting, and so on.
Social interactions can do wonders in influencing your target audience and generating backlinks to your website. The first and most common feature observed around is adding a ‘share’ button. Allow your visitors to share your content on their social media with a single click that has the potential to generate backlinks for your website. Adding infographics is another way you can make your content more interactive, informative, which can be shared by the visitors or other websites to republish your infographics with backlinks.
Understand the methods and the best approach as they should differ based on your target audience and the customers who visit your website. Digital Lime Green experts can assist you in a professional manner to enhance your website’s social engagements. Reach out to us to know more!
