Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

The key to getting good online business is to make people know your existence on the web and display your products/services so that it is accessible to your potential customers across the Internet. Whether your goal is to drive more targeted traffic to your website, create leads, entice people inquire about your services, sell products online or simply introduce your company, we can help.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization means building a website in such a way that it will be discovered by search engines. This includes designing each page so that the site's contents will be thoroughly mapped and indexed to keywords that potential customers use when searching for your company and its products or services. Our SEO service helps drive more targeted traffic to your website, various relevant categories and landing pages. Through optimizing pages of each category and ensuring all pages are properly indexed at each major search engine, FFD experts are able to increase overall site traffic and the conversion rates for your website.

FFD uses different techniques included in our CEO packages:

Website Analysis: we conduct an overall analysis of your website to determine its search engine friendliness. We study various factors such as age of domain, link popularity, website design, internal navigation, indexed pages, competitors’ website analysis to ensure your proper position in the online competition and within the same business category and much more.

On-page Optimization

We include and optimize various Meta Tags such as title, keywords, combining keywords and description related to your business. Keywords in the CEO process are the natural "search language" that potential customers use in trying to find companies or services online. By adding those keywords to your website while building or maintaining web pages, we will give you the competitive advantage to learn your customers’ language online.

Properly optimized Title Tags and Meta tags on each page are essential to obtaining the best possible placement within search engine results.

When the Titles and Meta Tags support the content on each web page, the potential placement of that page increases when searched for.
