We specialise in organic SEO, local search marketing and SEO for mobile devices (Mseo), including voice search. Our objective is to provide affordable, professional SEO to small and medium sized businesses and start-up companies in Sunderland and the local area.

We pride ourselves on honesty and transparency, two qualities often misplaced by many SEO companies. Our dedicated, client-focussed attitude and online expertise has helped us define a reputation as the market leader when it comes to SEO in Sunderland.

Recommended & ethical SEO consultants in Sunderland.

At Semtelligence we use a variety of ethical search engine marketing techniques to improve website visibility in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). As professional SEO consultant we understand what it takes to achieve high rankings in all of the major search engines, especially Google. Unlike many Internet marketing services, our mission is not only to generate targeted traffic for our clients, but to also improve conversion rates through website usability analysis and conversion rate optimisation (CRO). We do the job very well, as you can see if you read our many SEO recommendations / testimonials below. So if you require SEO services in Sunderland, calling Semtelligence is a must!

What is SEO?

Search engine optimisation or website optimisation is the process of writing and coding (HTML) on your web pages making it easier for search engines to index and rank them. SEO also involves communicating directly with other sources of traffic, writing great content (including articles / blogs), social bookmarking, earning relevant and high quality domain authority links - All of the following are common ethical SEO practices.

Most importantly, SEO is about optimising websites for people who use search engines and its fundamental goal is to increase targeted visitors. Always make sure you write for the end user and not the search engines! Remember, Google wants the best companies to represent their ranking system, because they are also in competition with other search engines like Yahoo and Bing. You can prove you are the best by having great metrics, lots of informative content and fantastic reviews. If you are genuinely good at what you do, you are a perfect candidate for SEO and Google. If you don't care about your customers and just want to make a quick buck, you'll never succeed long-term, and also please don't contact Semtelligence. We want to work with like minded businesses, businesses that care about their customers.

SEO guarantees & first page results.

As well as providing SEO services in Sunderland we also work with many clients throughout the UK. We have achieved first page results for every one of our clients, and although we deliver great results we never guarantee first page results! This practice is regarded as highly unethical and we strongly recommend staying away from any SEO company that is prepared to offer guarantees in order to secure your business.

We like to think that Semtelligence should be your first choice when choosing an SEO company to work with in Sunderland. Even if you have an SEO consultant in mind we urge you to give us a call before you make your decision. After all, our SEO analysis and helpful advice is free so why not take advantage of it?

No SEO contracts or set-up fees.

  • We do not tie our clients into contracts. We are extremely confident that the SEO work we do will speak for itself.
  • We do not charge any SEO set-up fees.
  • All SEO services and prices are agreed before any work is undertaken. There are no hidden charges.

All we ask for is patience. SEO is not a quick fix and it can take a minimum of 6-9 months before you see any changes in the SERPs. Search engines use sophisticated algorithms that rely on trust, therefore SEO must appear to be a natural progression otherwise your website could be penalised.

Tips on choosing SEO consultants.

Make sure you choose an SEO company that is trusted and has been recommended by many people, don't be scared to ask questions, you are spending your hard earned cash at the end of the day! SEO consultants should never guarantee a number one position or a first page result on Google. Knowledgeable SEO consultants should have no problem achieving first page results for most search phrases. It is perfectly acceptable for SEO consultants to guarantee that they will make your website as search engine friendly as possible. Position or ranking guarantees usually originate from salespeople with demanding targets to reach rather than seasoned SEO professionals.

Similarly, avoid any SEO consultants that claim to be calling from Google, working with Google or affiliated with Google in any way. They are not. A simple rule: If it seems too good to be true then it usually is.

SEO consultants should be willing to answer questions and offer advice. Some useful questions to ask an SEO consultant you are thinking of hiring include:

  • What SEO best practices do they follow?
  • How would they increase link popularity for your website?
  • What keyword research methods do they use?
  • Do they research competitors websites?
  • How would they improve your Domain Authority (DA), Trust Flow (TF) and Citation Flow (CF)?
  • What HTML changes will they make to your website to increase visibility in the SERPs?
  • Do they offer website analytics and how do they track website progression?

You are not being pushy by asking important questions, you are being smart! Also, ask SEO consultants to provide a written reference or some examples of websites they have worked on. If you need reassurance then that SEO company probably isn't right for you.

What to expect from Semtelligence?

Website goal definition & targeting monetary pages.

It is fundamental that we connect your website with the goals of your business. SEO is as much about converting users into customers as it is about achieving high rankings. We develop a targeted strategy to maximise traffic volumes to monetary pages. Monetary pages are the pages where the goal conversion takes place. Website goals include aspects such as:

  • Purchasing a product.
  • Making an enquiry.
  • Viewing a certain page on the website.
  • Subscribing to a mailing list.
  • Commenting on a blog.
  • Phoning a sales number.
  • Changing the viewer's mind on a topic.
  • Finding information.

If you are reading this content then great, there's a lot of helpful SEO info and tips here. However, the purpose of this landing page was to direct you to our about Semtelligence page - This was our specific webpage goal.

Keyword research.

The objective of keyword research is to determine the phrases that pay i.e. the ones that yield the highest ROI. Keyword research is vital and should be based on fact and not assumption. Successful SEO campaigns live or die by their keyword selection so if you get this wrong the rest of your SEO efforts will be in vain. There is no one-size fits all approach to SEO and no two campaigns are identical.

Gut instinct vs keyword selection: Typically, gut instinct can be useful when it comes to product-related phrases or searches that imply local intent. For example, what keywords can you use to find this page on Google? Without any keyword research we can use our gut instinct to predict likely phrases:

  • SEO Sunderland.
  • Search engine optimisation Sunderland.
  • SEO services Sunderland.
  • SEO consultants in Sunderland.
  • Sunderland SEO services.
  • SEO company Sunderland.
  • Sunderland search engine optimisation.

Although gut instinct is a good starting point, when performing keyword research you cannot beat the facts presented by keyword research tools.

Competitor analysis.

We always analyse the competition. Competitor websites offer an invaluable insight into what is working for them. Although they do not always get it right, they can provide the benchmark for your SEO campaign.

On-site SEO.

On-site SEO or on-page SEO refers to all of the techniques that you can use within your website (editing web page code and files). This can only take place once we have identified all of your target keywords. On-site SEO is regarded as part art and part science. It involves structuring your HTML code and writing engaging copy for users. Some of the on-site SEO elements include:

  • Page title.
  • Page meta description and meta keywords (yes we still add them).
  • Header tags (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6).
  • Great content.
  • Website navigation and weighted internal links.
  • Alternative text tags (alt tags) and naming images correctly.

Off-site SEO.

Off-site SEO or off-page SEO refers to all of the techniques you can use to get other website owners or Internet users to cite your website as an authoritative source. Simply put, Google love links from quality resources.

Our link building techniques: We never use link farms or link submission software. All link building or earning is natural and the emphasis is always on quality over quantity. Some of our link building methods include:

  • Article marketing.
  • Press release marketing.
  • Links from topical and relevant resources.
  • Social media bookmarking.
  • Blogging and blogger outreach.
  • Viral marketing.
