How do you choose a good SEO agency? By asking the right questions.
There are a lot of good agencies with seasoned SEOs that have earned their stripes, however, unfortunately, as there’s no barrier to entry and anyone can set up an SEO agency or become an SEO there’s also a lot of poor performing agencies that’ll just take your money and deliver very little.

Although keywords and keyword research is very important, SEO isn’t just about installing WordPress, installing the Yoast SEO Plugin, adding your focus keyword and if you get a green traffic light from Yoast then job done. All you’ll have to do now is sit back and wait for Google to crawl, index, and rank your site highly. That’s not how SEO works.

SEO has had a tough time over the years particularly with Google Ads increasingly dominating the SERPS.
Google will often throw a few scraps to keep the SEO community happy, Schema is one of those. I love the listings that you can generate using Schema. Here’s one that gets you excited as an SEO. What a listing!
There’s more details here on how to make your results standout using Schema
Our article on how we generated over 1 million pound for a client using Google Shopping is also live on the Codefixer website.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, over 2 years! Crazy how time flies.
The last 2 years have flown past. I’ve spent most of that time building an SEO & PPC team and putting systems in place at Codefixer. On top of that I’ve been running largely successful campaigns for clients and providing small group or 1-1 training courses on everything from Google Analytics to SEO.
In those 2 years I’ve learnt so much from others. Providing custom training courses has been a great opportunity to audit the websites of so many other businesses and get to spend time with other talented marketers. Building a team of search specialists who have made big contributions to client campaigns is hugely rewarding. Doing less day to day implementation work has also given me the opportunity to focus more on strategy.
When I first started doing SEO for my own sites, I wrote a lot. Over the years this has dried up. This year I’m hoping to post more often.
Here’s a few posts that we’ve added recently on Codefixer;

There’s been a lot of big moves recently in the world of SEO and I’ve been busy with all things Codefixer too. I’ve put together a quick roundup of my thoughts in the last few months.
As of 14th march 2017, DMOZ if officially closed for business. For those seasoned SEO campaigners like myself, this is an end of an era. It was set up back in June 1998 and was popular due to directory links from DMOZ carrying plenty of authority in terms of PageRank.
If you’re involved in Digital Marketing and you haven’t been to Learninbound then you need to put this event in your diary. Learninbound is a super digitial marketing event. The calibre of last week’s speakers was remarkable. Larry Kim responsible for billions of pounds of Google AdWords spend was the highlight.
The line up included 3 speakers included Larry Kim, Backlinko and Joanna Lord. The venue was central dublin in a very cool venue (the Academy) with free bar, and the sound was excellent. DigitalDNA are you listening? Unfortunately/fortunately I was driving so took lots in and didn’t miss a word. Tickets prices were fairly reasonable.

Some quick thoughts for summer 2016.
Last month Belfast welcomed the 4th DigitalDNA conference. Great to see digital buzzing in Belfast, with some excellent companies and knowledgeable speakers. Great also to meetup with people within the industry.
Although the event was a great success and I’m sure it’ll continue to go from strength to strength, there was some lessons to be learnt. Two of the talks that I attended, the Google talk and the Loudmouth Media talk you could bearly hear. The speakers were drown out, so well done the speakers as they carried on despite this.
Surprisingly the main hall with some of the big speakers didn’t appear to be as well attended as I would have thought. Maybe there’s a disconnect between some bigger companies and the small businesses that I’m guessing would have made up the majority of the attendees.
