Natural Search Engine Rankings
Natural Search Engine rankings are rankings that cannot be bought and are ranked according to each search engines algorithms and site content. Search engines rank each site according to its popularity and optimisation techniques. Any subsequent visitors who discover your natural search engine result do so at no cost to you.
Search engine optimisation is a mid to long term service based on many aspects of your website including link popularity, keywords, code structure and other optimization techniques.
To achieve good results on a search engine takes carefully planned time and effort and patience as each search engine has different ranking updates, for instance Google usually updates 3–6 months, Yahoo 2–3 months and MSN monthly.
Once you achieve good rankings, the benefits are amazing, with a noticeable traffic increase to your website. This is when you consider revising your website design and accessibility to maximize each visitor into a potential sale, enquiry or whatever your target goals for your website may be.

Wild Lime SEO Packages
All the SEO campaigns available at WildLime have the same solid foundational core of Research, Optimisation and Link Building.
WIldLime goes through the following four (4) stages, to assure you that your website is best optimised for the Search Engine Ranking Pages (SERP's). The following stages are the initial stages of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and do not inlcude extensive Link Building or Social Media Optimisation campaigns. These services can also be obtained through WildLime as seperate packages.
Stage 1: Website Ranking Report and Competitive Analysis
- We analyse where your site currently ranks and for what keywords
- If available, we look at your current website statistics to see where the majority of the traffic is coming from, and from what keywords.
- Analysis of your sites navigational structure
- We analyse your site’s source code to see how "search engine friendly" it is
Stage 2: Keyword/phrase Research
Keywords/phrases are better described as the search terms the web user enters when searching for something in a search engine.
Key phrases are the foundation of the entire Search Engine Optimisation process, and correctly identifying the most relevant keywords/phrases is crucial to the success of your websites ranking/traffic.
Since only correctly optimized sites and keywords will draw highly targeted traffic to your website.
There are 3 categories of keywords/phrases that are described below
1. Primary key phrase - the single most important keyword/phrase around which your optimisation will be centered.
2. Secondary key phrases - the other keywords/phrases around which we will build search engine focus pages
3. Peripheral key phrases - When we undertake link building, our links pages are built in such a way as to lend support to your web site's optimisation in their own right - in other words even our links pages will produce high search engine results, and draw traffic.
With the aid of some of the best available keyword tools, we'll be sure to suggest the best keywords for your website.
Stage 3: On-Site Optimisation
-
META Keywords
A meta keyword tag lists all the keywords for which you would like search engines to rank your site. Although not all search engines support this tag, you should use it for the ones that do. -
META Description
"Hidden" HTML code that contains a descriptive sentence or two about the web page. -
Website Title/s (<title></title>
In HTML, an area where text is placed that shows at the very top of the browser window. Search engines consider this area critical. -
Website Heading/s (<H1></H1)
Search engines assume that the text contained in heading tags is more important than the rest of the document text, as headings describe the content immediately below them. Search engines assign the most importance to h1, then h2, and so on. -
Link Title/s (<a href="link" title="optimized keyword">optimized keyword</a>)
Proper use of anchor text can help you show the relevancy of your web pages to key search engines to help rank for desired keywords. You can use this knowledge to build the relevance of each page of your site, through anchor text optimization containing important keywords, relevant to the theme of such pages, from other pages of your site. -
Image Alt Tag/s (<img src="image link" alt="optimized keyword">)
For many sites, particularly image–heavy sites, ALT text is one of the few elements available for the search engines to index. If your page has no text at all on it, it can still get a high search engine placement by using ALT text. -
Upload robots.txt file and sitemap.xml
This simple text file, created with Notepad or other simple text editor gives you complete control by telling the robots not to spider certain folders or web pages within your site.
Sitemap.xml offers Google a better crawl (scan) of your entire site to help searches find more of your web pages. It also notifies Google when each page was last modified. -
HTML code compliance (World Wide Web Consortium standards)
We'll check your code conforms to W3C's standards and suggest changes. This allows search engines to index your pages correctly and to eliminate problems so that your site is viewed by all on the web. -
Analytics
We will install an analytics software on your website, allowing us and yourself to track traffic, your visitors and their origin and many more usefull features to get a better understanding where your visitors are coming from and what keywords they are searching for. -
Links Page (if needed)
Sometimes we might recommend creating a "links" page, allowing you to have links from your website to other related industry websites. -
Content Alterations (included in larger packages)
In the larger packages we have included the Content Alteration feature, meaning that WildLime will go through the content of your sites and make alterations as they see fit to make your content more search engine friendly.
Stage 4: Website Submission Services
All our submissions to search engines and web directories are performed manually. Our submission process guarantees your site's inclusion in all the major search engines, including Google, Yahoo, MSN/Live, AOL, search.com, ask, AltaVista, and alltheweb.
We understand which of these search engines will have an impact on your site's success, and we submit your site accordingly.
However, we do limited submitting to search engines and directories as part of the core SEO service, this does by no means eliminate the needs for looking at our Link Building Campaign, as the sole purpose of the initial stage is to really make your website more search engine friendly.
