Keyword Research 

Online, it’s vital to target the right keywords to bring the right customers to your website. You don’t want to rank for completely irrelevant search queries – users will click through, be disappointed, and bounce straight off again. 

To avoid this, you’ll want to carry out thorough keyword research to discover what people are searching for – and understand the competition around it – so you can rank above it. Finding the right keywords for your niche is so important. There might be a broad query that gets tens of thousands of searches each month – and sure, it would be great to rank for that. But the competition will be immense, and if you’re a new website starting out or you don’t have a unique value proposition to appear above others, then you’re unlikely to win the SEO scramble to the top. 

What you can do instead is carry out clever keyword research to identify some lower search volume but higher intent keywords that you can rank for. The monthly searches may be lower, but so will the competition – and actually, the people searching for this will be the right people. We’re experts at finding not only the best keywords but the best keywords for you and your business. Rank at the top for what matters and turn searches into quality leads.  

Compelling Content

Deciding which keywords to target is one thing, but getting to the top of search results takes a lot of time, hard work and dedication from experienced SEOs. At ICAAL, we’ll often say ‘Content is King’ to anyone who’ll listen. We know that a fundamental part of SEO that should never change is that Google will always appreciate quality, well-researched content that offers something unique and is therefore worth serving high up in the SERPs. 

With our specialisation across a number of verticals, our in-house copywriting team knows what it takes to craft expert content that ranks on page 1 of Google. When we create location-specific landing pages, new product or service offerings, or whatever it may be, we’ll do our research – from brochures and videos to competitors and more. 

The best content is something that offers a unique perspective. The Internet is full of opinions (you may have noticed), regurgitated articles, and increasingly AI-generated posts that don’t bring anything new to the conversation. That’s why our SEO copywriters craft compelling content, working with you where possible to get insights and quotes that nobody else is sharing but everybody should be reading. Content that stands apart from others should be ranked above the competition – content worthy of being crowned king. 

Technical Health

While your website may look like it’s in rude health above the surface, there may be lots of issues ‘under the bonnet’ that will negatively impact your site’s performance in the SERPs. Alongside crafting quality content, our SEOs understand the importance of regularly checking, maintaining and improving the technical health of a site. 

We use a number of technical website auditors that identify some of the most important errors on websites that will need fixing. Nobody wants to click a link that sends you to a 404 page – users and search engines alike will put a black mark against your site if that’s the case. Similarly, broken images can leave customers confused and Google wondering why you have a blank space on your site. 

Our auditors will also flag opportunities and recommendations that our SEOs should action. This could be empty alt text (that’s the description of an image for sight-impaired users), empty meta titles and descriptions (the previews that show on the search results) and other SEO considerations like too-long titles and descriptions, long redirect chains and page speed. We’ll stay on top of these to keep your site in good health and operating at maximum efficiency for users and search engines alike.
