Link Strategy

We offer link building services that really do make a difference to your Google search position. Links are Google’s primary factor for ranking sites, the more quality links you acquire the higher you will rank.

We offer link analysis reports that take an in depth look at your current links and how we could better use them to increase your search position. We can advice you on your most valuable links and where they point to on your site.

 

Natural Search

Staying on top of what works allows us to get the most out of your budget and deliver rankings and traffic quicker than our competitors.

Both BabySEO & Branded3 specialise in natural search, we go to great lengths to ensure we are fully up to date with what works and what doesn’t. Google’s algorithm is constantly adapting and new ranking factors are coming into to play almost on a monthly basis, staying on top of these changes is very often the difference between success and failure.

Reporting

We realise that increased search and rank are only part of the puzzle, ultimately what we are aiming to deliver is increased sales and brand exposure.

We also report on link popularity and quality metrics, this isn’t the best indicator of success but it allows you to see how your online profile is progressing.

SEO Consulting

Sometimes all your business needs is a little guidance, someone to bounce ideas off. At Branded3 we offer consulting services that provide exactly that, giving your business instant access to our years of SEO experience and research.
