It also includes your company’s online presence and reputation, how search engines parse and return your company’s information relative to others in your area and industry, Google ads and Amazon SEO, and more exotic or esoteric technical SEO.

Question: What are some metrics SEO looks at to decide what a given company needs? –Katerin, Scottsdale, AZ
Answer: When talking about SEO, we’re talking about everything from the layout of your business’s Internet sitemap to how, where, and when your business shows up on social media and review sites.
Modern SEO isn’t just about getting the right keywords or search strings; it’s about creating content and methods of relaying that content that deliver real information of value or interest to the end user.
This means when a search engine algorithm receives a search query and has to decide what results to prioritize for a given user, they are going to look for the most active, relevant, and highly rated sites first. Then this information is ranked and displayed as a Search Engine Results Page, or SERP (pronounced just like it’s spelled).
While the underlying calculations that drive which results show up where in SERPs are very complicated, as long as some simple best practices are observed, it’s possible and even easy to leave your competition in the dust. These include a great user experience for those who visit your website and social media; hard-hitting content that puts your message front and center for potential customers and offers them real value, actionable tips and information they can work with right now; making sure your online reputation management is on point and that fake or unfair reviews are dealt with in a timely fashion; and much more. But the key is, this information has to be readable by human eyes and presented in a strong enough manner to establish your website as an authority in your niche. When you do this, you will start seeing more traffic immediately, and you’ll find more people find the information you deliver to be valuable versus your competitors.
Question: Why does my website design matter for SEO purposes? –Tomas, Tempe, AZ
Answer: The short, simple answer is, if you want a better SERP position, you need your website to send and receive the right signals to make the algorithms aware that your site holds the answers or solutions searchers are looking for—and that means, at its heart, you need a website that does what today’s more sophisticated Web 3.0 and IoT users expect.
When search engine algorithms, especially those from Google, decide what to show a searcher in SERPs, they don’t just look at your website. They look at your reviews on local and global websites and the overall user experience, including how long people spend on your site, what they look for, and what they do next. For example, today’s search engine algorithms look at things like whether your site works as well on a smartphone as a laptop; whether your site is accessible to people with certain disabilities; how long your site takes to load; and whether the information on your site is laid out in a format that makes it easy to find.
Another consideration is where the traffic to your site is coming from. Most clicks on a given website come from other pages or links on that site. However, authority links, such as an article or whitepaper your company posted on a leading industry website or reviews of your business from those websites, are vitally important and often overlooked as a key signal.
If you’re only seeing twenty visitors a day, but those visitors are coming to the site for your architectural firm from Architectural Digest’s website and spending more than a minute or two on your site, that traffic is likely to weigh more heavily in your favor than if you get 100 “stumble-on” users who glance at your site and “bounce” in less than 15 seconds.
The same holds true for app developers, albeit to a lesser degree.
If you’re not sure if your website can stand up to the intense scrutiny of today’s search engines, or if you don’t necessarily love what your web designer and developers have created for you in the past, Online Advantages Mesa SEO can help! Our web developers and app developers can help your business craft an overall look that works with your business and goals to deliver the user experience your potential customers will love—and can make your website stand out as one of your customers’ favorite web designs, giving you the vital performance edge you need to come out on top!
Can SEO work for anyone or any company in Mesa? –Antonio, Gilbert, AZ

Question: Why does everyone in Mesa SEO only talk about Google when they discuss how SEO works? –Mark, Mesa, AZ
Answer: To be brutally honest, it’s because, for all practical purposes, the other search engines don’t matter. When was the last time you told someone to “Yahoo!” something? Have you ever heard anyone say, “Bing it!” when they were looking for information? Do you know anyone at all who uses Yandex on purpose? Chances are, your answers to all of these are probably “Never,” “No,” and “No.”
The reason for this is simple: Google is the best at what they do, and they own over 90% of the search engine market outright. Their algorithms lead the search engine industry in delivering results based on user intent, location, and other factors. This leaves the other search engines following their lead, which means on a practical level, Google is the bar to clear if you want to get the best results across search engines. And this means, in turn, that knowing and understanding how Google’s algorithms, tools, and other products, such as YouTube, can have a positive or negative impact on your ranking in SERPs.
Most people find some of Google’s tools, again like YouTube, easy to use and a great way to get their messages out. They also find some, like Google’s Webmaster Dashboard, dauntingly complicated and complex. They don’t want to learn computer programming so they can make sure they put the code to attract Google’s website crawling bots in the right place, or spend time each day and week making sure that Google Ads is working properly. That’s why so many people miss out on key elements of SEO that aren’t hard to implement but can take time to execute properly. It’s also why Online Advantages Mesa SEO is a Google Trusted Partner, offering everything from Google 360 video tours of your business in real-time to workshops on how to get the most mileage from Google’s dedicated suite of webmaster tools with the minimum investment of time and effort.
Of course, if you want the best results and don’t want to dedicate the time or energy it takes to learn to use them effectively, you can always just click here to contact Online Advantages Mesa SEO and let us do the heavy lifting while you tend to the most important business of all—yours!
Question: How do I know my Mesa search engine optimization agency is reputable? –Rachel, Chandler, AZ
Answer: This is a very subjective question in many ways. Instead of running down a list of do’s and don’t’s, we think it would be more helpful to identify pain points our clients have expressed to us about other SEO agencies they’ve worked within the past.
First and foremost, SEO is changing by the day, hour, and sometimes by the minute. Things that were fine in 2010 or 2015 are unacceptable and could get your site banned from search results in extreme cases. Best practices that didn’t even exist in 2015 are considered basic today. Because of this, it’s often difficult to predict what the next Google algorithm update or fresh deployment will and won’t look at, and what behaviors they will reward or penalize a website for. This also means it’s nearly impossible to say that this design will still bear up three years from now, or that SEO tactic which is considered “white hat” or ethical and compliant with best practices right now will suddenly become a “black hat tactic,” which risks getting your site suppressed or banned from search results. Based on this, our first suggestion is to be very wary of any agency that promises quick turnaround and overnight results. You may well get them—for a minute—but agencies that use the kind of tactics that routinely deliver fast results also tend to cut corners which make those results unsustainable over time, leaving you with no backup and nowhere to go if Google suddenly decides to stop displaying information about your company.
The second thing you should look at is whether your agency will be able and willing to play “the long game.” SEO today is not just about getting you to the top as fast as possible, but getting and keeping you there in a predictable, scalable manner through organic growth tactics. These include making sure your website is always ready to deliver the best user experience for visitors, such as making sure it’s easy to read for the visually impaired; keeping your blog updated with the latest news, information, and tips for potential customers; and making sure everything about your online presence reflects the corporate brand and awareness of the needs of your target markets that they expect. It also means keeping your Google My Business listing up to date, making sure your business hours, contact information, and email are correctly entered and displayed, and keeping up with your company’s social media channels.
Any agency that tells you to ignore Google’s tools or not worry about updating your website is probably an agency that won’t scruple to cut other corners with longer-reaching effects, suppressing instead of boosting your visibility.
Finally, experience does count. Online Advantages Mesa SEO has helped guide any number of businesses from virtual nonentities to digital Titans in their niches, and we’ve got the testimonials, white papers, hard data and case studies to back up the results we deliver. If you’re screening a Mesa SEO agency and they can’t deliver data to verify their claims, it’s a good idea to take a hard look at what they’re offering, what their capabilities are and whether those capabilities mesh with your business’s needs. Remember, a deal is only a good deal if everyone involved gets great results!
Question: Why doesn’t Online Advantages Mesa SEO promise top rankings? –Wilson, Tempe, AZ
Sadly, there are a lot of myths about how organic SEO and local search engine marketing work, and plenty of so-called SEO agencies who bill themselves as experts but in reality have never so much as worked on an internet marketing team! These people are often either misguided or deliberately misleading their clients regarding what SEO can and can’t do. Many of them simply don’t know any better. Unfortunately, some people think SEO and SEM (search engine marketing) is all about making sales at the expense of everything else, including their clients’ long-term visibility and viability—and they take that philosophy with them to every new client they take on, promising fast results that quickly fall apart because of outdated, poorly executed, shady or outright disallowed practices and tactics. Some of these include hidden text on public-facing webpages, phony backlink buying schemes and “keyword stuffing,” which is where a piece of content is so loaded with alleged keywords that it becomes unreadable to human eyes and thus of no value to human readers. When these and other “quick results” tactics are detected by search engine algorithms, agencies that use those tactics often vanish in hurry, along with their clients’ money and worse, the positive reputations these companies worked so hard to build.
Of course, most Mesa SEO agencies aren’t like this. They do a great job with honesty and integrity, and they deliver quality results. We always say that just because a company is new doesn’t mean it can’t offer excellence, because we’ve seen it in action too many times with too many of our clients! And we have the data, white papers and case studies to prove it. However, if you are talking to an SEO “expert” and they claim they can get you to the top of Google in a matter of days or weeks as a matter of course, you should be very skeptical. Online Advantages Mesa SEO’s proven process has a track record of outperforming keyword analysis and achieving excellent rankings at a rate that can’t be explained away by coincidence, often far faster than the expectations we set for our clients as a matter of ethical and professional pride.
Still, we can’t and don’t guarantee any particular piece of content will achieve those results—and any SEO company or professional that does is probably gambling your company’s online presence on the idea that they’re smarter than Google’s engineering teams and the algorithms they develop and deploy to detect such shenanigans!
In addition, as we mentioned above, the algorithms and rules are always changing, mostly driven by Google’s efforts to deliver the best possible search experience for users. We’ve been in this game for over a decade, and we’ve watched SEO practices evolve from “nice to have” to “absolutely essential.” What was acceptable in 2011 is considered shady, unethical or just bad practice in 2021. Signals that were considered nonissues in 2011 are now critical points, such as whether your site delivers the same functionality no matter what platform or device an end user is accessing it from. With tech constantly evolving and more concern about making the Internet more accessible to all baked into SEO best practices, it’s hard to say with any certainty what the next wave of changes will bring, or what signals will suddenly go from no big deal to prominent sticking points.
All of this is taking the long way around saying that, although we’ve been doing SEO for a decade, no one can really be sure what’s coming next. Because of that, we don’t guarantee results. We’d rather underpromise and overdeliver than the other way around—and whether your blog post cracks the “above the fold” placement or not, we’re always working to help your business secure a larger share of organic traffic in ways that will last, no matter what changes in the world of SEO.
