SEO / SEM & Digital Marketing

We have ranked (SEO) our customers for some of the most competitive terms in the state, and nation. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is pivotal to the success of any digital marketing strategy. When people search for services you provide or type your band name into Google, they need to be presented with your business website. If your website isn’t optimized for search engines, traffic and leads, your competitors are profiting from that traffic and sales. At White Fox, our job is to make sure this doesn’t happen. To do this, we optimize business websites to appear prominently in searches. We can also start increasing website traffic and leads instantly using paid ad campaigns.

Website Design

At White Fox, we develop attention-grabbing websites that act as 24/7 lead magnets. As well as search engine optimizing websites, we build websites that encourage website visitors to take action. To do this, we include eye-catching graphic design and high levels of user interactivity proven to help drive conversions. Once the website design is completed, we continually update the design each year as part of your service so the website design stays ahead of the curve. We take your brand and breathe life into it thru design so customers can be convinced your business is the right fit. We develop and design every part of the conversion and sales funnel so when increase traffic comes, the site is set up to make a big impact.

Scheduled Backups

White Fox web developers design websites that are built for security, stability, and performance. However, every website will come under attack by hackers, malware, and viruses at some point. To prevent business downtime if your website security is ever compromised, we regularly backup websites and databases. Should the worst ever happen, we can, therefore, restore websites to full operability in a matter of minutes.

Traffic Reporting

Search engines like Google provide web developers and website owners with several tools they can use to track real-time user behavior. Chief among these is Google Analytics. At White Fox, we use Google Analytics to monitor where traffic to websites originates. This allows us to monitor the success of free and paid marketing campaigns in real-time. Using Google Analytics, we can also track customer journeys through web pages. This allows us to identify new content marketing ideas and potential optimizations for website landing pages.

Website Changes & Support

Want a new picture or blog added? Send a quick email or call from your phone and we’ll update your website within one business day. Any content or design changes can be made thru sending an email, which creates a support ticket for us to address. Would you like to make changes yourself? We’ll provide login instructions and training so our time is best spent on getting you new customers. You will have full control over the website, and will own it with no strings attached if you want to quit.

Conference Calls and Reporting

At White Fox, we strive to keep each one of our clients directly involved in all marketing campaign decision making. As far as we’re concerned, it’s just as beneficial for us if you know what we are doing and why, as it is for you. To keep clients up to speed with what we’re doing, we invite business owners and stakeholders to participate in regular conference calls. During these, we update you on the progress of campaigns. We also explain our processes and campaign results in plain English for the sake of full transparency.

Rank Reporting

Search engines like Google regularly alter website ranking algorithms. Because of this, search engine optimization is an ongoing process. To help you achieve and maintain prominent placement, we continuously monitor your website search position, bounce rate, and the average amount of time users spend on your web pages. If updates or search trends ever impact your visibility online, we’ll know. We also provide all our clients with regular reports that reveal the success (or not) of ongoing marketing campaigns. If you would like to see an example of one of these, feel free to contact us directly.

Conversion Design

Having an expertly optimized website is key to acquiring website visitors and all-important sales leads. However, websites also need to be optimized in a way that directly encourages conversions. At White Fox, we improve website conversion rates by carefully monitoring traffic sources and bounce rates. This allows us to identify leaks in sales funnels. We can then address these by creating new landing pages with new psychological prompts and interactive design elements. In every case, when we create alternative landing pages, we don’t immediately replace landing pages that are already converting. Instead, we split test pages and measure the performance of pages side by side. Only when a new page succeeds in capturing more conversions, will we replace the original.

More Technical SEO Factors

Page Speed / Mobile Signals

Ranking Factors

We take pride in making sure the websites we build load quickly and feel native and intuitive to navigate on all devices and connection types. Some of the bigger ranking factors in local search results that we consider are: Does the website load quickly? Are the resources configured to load efficiently? We take care to solve these problems immediately upon deployment and reevaluate for issues with every change made. Additional, equally major factors we take into account right from the start are: Does the website respond to different screen sizes? Does it look well laid out on all devices? Tiny, old phones, big smartphones, small tablets, large desktop computers? We fine tune every design to make the most out of the layout at every screen size all while keeping the digital footprint as small as possible. An increasingly bigger factor is user engagement. Is the website easy to use & navigate? Is the intent of the page readily apparent above the fold? Is all the most relevant information easy to find, read, touch and interact with? Does the design convey exactly what you want the user to do right away? We ask ourselves these ever so increasingly critical questions about everything we create to grow your business through search, local and digital marketing.

  • Page speed & load time
  • Mobile device user friendly
  • User engagement
  • Responsive layout
  • Critical information placement
  • Intuitive function
  • Page intent

Google My Business Signals

Ranking Factors

Maximizing your Google My Business profiles is the first step to ensuring your local SEO service is in good standing. We make sure your listing is accurate and complete with current contact information, hours, links, photos, frequent business posts, optimized landing page, Google+ profile and brand design assets. We also make sure you’re listed in the correct, specific categories for your business – by having too many or different categories can keep you from the top position for your most relevant keyword searches. Your Google+ page, along with your website, is a way for the consumer to gain a rapport with your company before they make a decision to buy. We’ll make sure your service area is listed correctly on your Google page among other categories. We also take care that your map pin correctly reflects your location if you serve customers at that location. Along with your website, your Google directory listing (GMB or Google MyBusiness) profile is the most important aspect of local SEO.

  • Proximity and area of service to point of searcher
  • Inputting correct categories in GMB

Citations / Location Signals

Ranking Factors

A citation is a reference to your business contact information and it’s locations anywhere on the web. Citations are achieved mainly by creating directory listings. We have curated a large list of highly relevant directories for listing your business. This is a crucial aspect of local SEO service and one of the first priorities of your campaign. There are un-relevant, spammy directories that would not be helpful to be in, so we’re careful about what directories get into our list. Consistency, completeness, and accuracy are the most important aspects of citation building. The business name used has to be exactly the same on every citation, and match the name of your business. For example, a business who changes their name from – “Pizza Store & More” to “Pizza Store” – would have to change over a hundred citations to drop the ‘& More’, and update the content or they wouldn’t earn the benefit of that reference. Citations are a very important aspect of local SEO service.

Google also personalizes results based on your search and life behaviors. Google follows you as long as your smartphone is in your purse or pocket, and learns what you like – and personalizes results based on your habits.
