Search Engine Optimization Services

Promoting your site through organic search rankings (Search Engine Optimization "SEO") is one of the primary forms of search marketing. Organic Rankings is another name for free rankings or search engine listings. All of the major search engines rank sites based on complex mathematical algorithms that weigh the characteristics of the web site and its pages, including the quantity, quality, and structure of the sites inbound and outbound links. How well a site conforms to this algorithm will determine the site's position in the organic rankings.

It is very important to note that each search engine has its own algorithm and formulas change periodically. Consequently, a website's rankings will move around from period to period and vary from one search engine to another. Part of our job at Catanich is to follow these changes and help you determine if and when changes should be made.
