Cultivating SEO Leads Requires Relentless Auditing,
Monitoring & Maintenance Of 70+ Foundational Elements.
Or As We Like To Call It, “Weeding The Garden.”
Imagine your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) campaign as your own little garden on the World Wide Web.
Just like a garden, “weeds and pests” are constantly trying to creep in and destroy all the hard work you’ve put into SEO. So you must tend to your “SEO garden” constantly to reap and maintain a bountiful harvest (i.e., great search rankings).
In the case of SEO, this involves auditing and maintaining over 70 key foundational elements…. every single month… without fail… forever. Otherwise, “weeds” will spring up (errors, toxic backlinks, technical issues, etc.) and kill your rankings.
At Level 10, we handle the weeding-the-garden aspect of SEO for our clients.
Each month, we dive into your campaign and review all 70+ SEO elements to check for problems. When we find “weeds,” we pull them out. Wash, rinse, and repeat every 30 days.
The result? A clean SEO campaign that cultivates new customers and produces a high-yield of ripe organic leads.
