Our Process

  • Valo Marketing will review and assess your current website description. We delve well beyond the obvious word selections. Rather than scratch the surface, we dig deeper in order to produce a site description that ultimately make sense given the content, products and/or services provided.

  • Once we implement the appropriate site description, our next phase is improving the mark-up of your website.  Our markup enhancement includes improving or applying: Meta tags, Titles and Headings, Removing unwanted or unnecessary code, applying micro-data, character sets, schema and more.

  • Ahh.. the supporting role.  Content plays a vital character in the overall health and ranking of a website.  We ensure that your website is laced with the best supporting content possible.  Content that re-enforces your page titles, descriptions, engages customers and produces results.

  • Websites do not fare well on search engines if they contain errors or broken links. Valo Marketing will assess all files and folders, including robot.txt, .htaccess and more. We'll make sure your website is in tip top shape in order to perform well on major search engines.

  • A chain is only as good as its weakest link and so holds true when it comes to outside or third party websites that link to your website. Domain Authority and Page Rank matters. We will develop a strategic and aggressive strategy for getting links to your website from popular and pertinent sources or websites.

  • Having the correct information available for Search Engines is vital. First we audit and then we focus making sure your information is accurate and professional on Local Directories, Rich Media and Social Media.
