SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of improving your website to help it appear higher in search engine results like Google. When someone searches for a product or service you offer, SEO helps ensure your website shows up as one of the top results. This can drive more traffic to your site, increase visibility, and ultimately attract more customers. It's done through optimizing your content, improving website structure, using relevant keywords, and building quality links.

Our SEO team focuses on 3 key areas. From these SEO efforts, you can expect gradual improvements in your website's visibility, organic traffic, and search engine rankings over time.

• Local SEO - we optimize your business listing on Google Business Profile, ensuring accurate information and business details such as categories, descriptions, and services offered to ensure alignment with Google best practices & your SEO strategy.
• Website SEO - our SEO team will enhance your site's structure, content, and technical performance, including improving page speed, mobile usability, and keyword optimization. This includes crafting engaging content and ensuring search engines can easily crawl and index your site.
• Off-site SEO - this complements the above efforts by building your online authority through high-quality backlinks, social bookmarking, and directory citations, helping you rank higher and attract more customers across all channels. 

SEO service is offered as an add-on to Thryv Marketing Center. This add-on can't be purchased self-serve in the software, but must be purchased through your Thryv Business Advisor. This is to ensure that they are able to build a comprehensive SEO proposal that takes into account your desired keywords, geography, competition, and several other factors so that you can make an informed decision. This entails work done by our team both directly on your site as well as off-site work including link building, industry articles/blogs, and other methods, to increase your ranking. 

Once you've purchased SEO and completed your SEO onboarding, you are able to see the results of your program in the SEO tab in Thryv Marketing Center. When you click, your SEO dashboard will open in a separate tab.

FAQ
