Local SEO

Many clients come to us confused, or overwhelmed when it comes to SEO.

A creative sign with an ardent picture.

It’s no surprise: SEO strategy is constantly evolving, and what worked 5 or even 2 years ago, won’t necessarily work today.

What is SEO?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. It’s an umbrella term for all the work that goes into improving your website to boost traffic organically from search engines such as Google.

SEO of the Past
In the early days of Google, it’s goal to serve searchers the best results had glaring loopholes. Many early SEO companies found out how to exploit Google’s algorithms through keyword stuffing and link farming. The term “black hat SEO” or “spamdexing” came to be known as a set of practices that increases a website’s search engine rank through means that violate the search engines’ terms of service.

Black-hat SEOs would essentially trick the algorithm with things that were only useful for search engine crawlers — not readers.

Today, black hat SEO isn’t just less effective, it can get your site removed from Google’s search results. Google has discovered the loopholes, and now does a much better job of ensuring sites must be reader-friendly, not just Google-friendly. They are constantly evolving to reduce spam and stay ahead of the newest “black hat” tactics.

SEO Best Practices of Today
Today, SEO is about delivering great content that meets a user’s expectations. It’s what we focus on at Ardent, and it’s the most effective way to help continually drive your website to the top of the search results.
