The Design Brief
A&M Marquees are marquee hire professionals based in locally in Knutsford, Cheshire. Although they are local clients, they have a nationwide clientèle who specialise in marquee and furniture hire services for any type of event. Having been established in 2004, A&M Marquees moved from previous hosts looking for a brand-new website along with targeting keywords that focused on different marquee types.
Having generated success from ‘Google Adwords’ for certain keywords, the website still ranked poorly for other keywords that targeted different marquee types. With no SEO campaign in place, untitled™ provided a small SEO strategy to take place over a 6 week period.

Recommended Keywords
Using Google Keyword Planner, not only will you get an estimated search volume for each keyword, you will also gain words that have been suggested by Google. While some may be relevant due to Google finding them within your website, there will be loads that have no relevance to your website, products or services.
Weekly Blogs
We decided to focus on writing a weekly blog with a view to targeting one keyword that had good search engine traffic of between 100-400 searches each month. Choosing a niche topic, by writing weekly blog post you find yourself with an interesting topic to write about and also find yourself as an expert authority on your niche topic.
Once you are into the swing of things in writing a weekly blog and adding it to your website, you can start to cherry pick and add some of the low hanging keywords that have little search engine traffic of 10 searches each month.

Keyword Targeted Headings
Once you have written your blog, the next step is to write a headline. The trick is to write a headline that is relevant to your blog and a headline that contains one keyword. Make sure you try and keep it roughly between 50 & 70 characters with spaces. Search Engines generally favour shorter headlines that contain keyword headings so using algorithms they can display your website on search enquires related to your blog

Meta Descriptions
Depending on the platform of your website, you usually have a way of accessing the meta elements of any page within your website. It can be in the page settings or you may have to install a plug-in. If you don’t have any control/access, it may be best to content your web developer who updates the website.
Meta Elements, also known a Meta Descriptions are snippets of HTML or XHTML tags used in documents to provide structured metadata about a specific web page. The Meta elements are used by search engines to help categorize the page correctly.
