National SEO Services for Thought Leadership

Some Businesses Need National SEO

You Need To Reach Your Market Where They Are

Some companies serve clients on both a local and a national basis. If that’s your situation, you need to deploy search engine optimization campaigns that reach your full market.

Some businesses may require a small scale national SEO campaign. Others may need one that is more complex and targets several cities. Our objective is to ensure that we reach your market in a national SEO campaign giving you a solid return on investment.

The focus of our national SEO campaigns is two-fold.

  • Differentiate you from your competitors so you stand out above them.
  • Help you become the leader in your sector through the right mixture of content and technical tactics. 

But What Is National SEO…

And Why Does It Matter To Your Business?
  1. National SEO is all about being relevant with the right general keywords that matter to your business. These keywords are not tied to a specific region, but rather are more general and broad.

  2. National SEO mixed with local SEO matters when you want to be relevant in several markets. It’s even more relevant as the internet and the worldwide web become the go-to source for all aspects of lives from work to shopping.

  3. As more people shift offline behaviors online, pursuing an SEO strategy is essential for businesses. When you’re competing on a national level, you’re competing with more entities. That means you need to work with many relevant terms to boost overall visibility. It’s essential to pursue an effective and efficient national SEO campaign.

National SEO Services Are For Those Businesses…

Who Market To A National Audience In Multiple States

Every day, millions of consumers search for National services to make a purchase. Of these searchers, almost 60% use Google to identify a National business that appears to have high trustworthiness.

A high proportion (61%-78%) of mobile searches for National businesses result in a National purchase. With those kinds of stats, it’s easy to see why investing in National SEO is a no-brainer. Ya just gotta do it!

What National Search
Engine Optimization SEO Does For You

Your National SEO Efforts Have Two Primary Objectives

All your National SEO work should stay focused on delivering on two main goals.

  • Get your business to the top of page one of search results for your services in your National area. You invest in SEO to get to the top of the first page of search engine results pages (SERPs). That’s where the “money” is. Search has evolved to the point where most searchers don’t go beyond the first five results.

  • Position your business and website as one of high authority. Google gives organic preference to those businesses with the greatest credibility. Remember, Google’s primary objective is to provide search engine users with the most relevant, highest quality search results. You need to keep this in mind during your SEO efforts and position yourself as an expert and thought leader.

Google wants to provide users with the best search experiences, so they keep coming back to Google. If you don’t align with Google and its many algorithms, then you detract from the experience and will not have as much visibility.

National SEO Solves Several Problems For Your Business

It Gives You Visibility To A National Audience

National SEO provides visibility in a world of national competitors. You can set up shop, but if no one knows you are there, do you genuinely exist? National SEO shines a light on your business and shows people that you are ready to do business.

  • Lack of customers
  • Lack of business activity
  • Low revenue
