Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO Process

To beat your own website’s past search performance we work through The Nine's in-depth Search Engine Optimization Process that includes three phases: Foundation, Structure, and Growth. This process takes 12 months of focused work to get real trackable results for your business.

"It's all about the process." - Nick Saban, referencing The Nine's SEO services. At least that's how we remember it.

SEO Tracking, Analysis, & Strategy

The Foundation of our process starts with learning about your business and understanding how well your website is currently performing at achieving your business goals. Your website should be working for you, not against you. Either way, we’ll dig in and find out. Then we deliver the plan to fix what’s holding you back and expand your growth.

Onboarding: We meet with you to discuss your business, goals, and give you an overview of our process.

• Access to Google Search Console 
• Access to Google Analytics
• Access to Google My Business Listings

Tracking: The only way we can measure success is by making sure we track everything that matters most to your business. We use a variety of tools to track your website’s performance.

Analysis: Once we have full access to your website and our SEO tools are set up, we can start analyzing the health of your website.
