The next step of your online communication is to make it &#8220;visible&#8221; in the search engines to attract new potential customers.<\/p>\n<p>SEO stands for <strong>Search Engine Optimization<\/strong>, and SEM for Search Engine Marketing. Both are about promoting your website in the search engines result pages.<br \/>\nThe practical goal is to put your website in the first position on all search engines for the keywords of your activity.<br \/>\nThe ultimate goal is of course to attract as many visitors as possible.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate the importance of being well positioned on search engines result pages, here is a graph showing the distribution of clicks on the first page of Google:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Google-CTR.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Google-CTR.jpg\" alt=\"Google-CTR\" width=\"650\" height=\"381\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Google-CTR.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Google-CTR-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Google-CTR-600x351.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also acknowledge that the percentage of clicks on the 11th position (second page) drops to 0.7% and continues to decline for the following results.<\/p>\n<p>SEO can be divided into <strong>two distinctive parts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Onsite Optimization<\/h3>\n<p>This refers to the optimization of the structure, code and some of your website content according to a set of rules established by the search engines and based on your activity&#8217;s keywords.<br \/>\nThis work should be done when creating the website. But it is often sloppy or completely neglected.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list check\">\n<li>URLs optimization<\/li>\n<li>pages titles and descriptions<\/li>\n<li>code and HTML tags<\/li>\n<li>content<\/li>\n<li>etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"list check\">\n<li>internal links<\/li>\n<li>linked files (robot.txt, sitemap)<\/li>\n<li>landing pages<\/li>\n<li>load speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>This is a one time job and the position improvement is almost immediate.<br \/>\nIt can be completed by regular addition of content to the website.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button default medium \">Contact us about Onsite Optimization<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Link building<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes called &#8220;offsite optimization&#8221; or &#8220;netlinking&#8221;, it consists of the creation of external links pointing to your website. The links can (and should) be created on various supports: Articles, Directories, partner websites, blogs, forums etc..<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/linkbuilding.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/linkbuilding.gif\" alt=\"linkbuilding\" width=\"377\" height=\"298\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/linkbuilding.gif 377w, https:\/\/bali-reference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/linkbuilding-300x237.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe creation of these hundreds or thousands of links should be smooth and spread over time and is generally subject to a 6 months to 1 year renewable contract.<br \/>\nThis work is the most tedious but also <strong>the most important in SEO<\/strong>. It will push your website on the first page and maybe even in the first position of search engines result pages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bali-reference.com\/en\/contact-us\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button default large \">Contact us<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your website is now online.
