On-Page Optimisation
To improve your Tauranga SEO results there are two main areas that affect your ranking overall:
Off-Page Optimisation
On-Page SEO Optimisation - Tauranga Cheat Sheet
Here are just a few of the things Duoplus focus on when improving SEO for Tauranga and Waikato businesses.
Website Loading Speed
Site loading speed matters when it comes to SEO. Nobody likes a website that loads slow, not even Google. So make sure you optimise your website’s loading speed, especially on mobile devices. Try to make your website load in under 3 seconds. Checkout these free tools which test your page speed.
Optimise your Main Pages
Here’s an short list of On-Page SEO factors you should consider if you want to rank higher in Tauranga search results:
Optimise your Images
There are three things you can do to create a great user experience and rank higher.
Optimise your Mobile Experience
Google now indexes all pages based on the mobile experience they provide. So it’s essential to get this right!
Optimise Schema Markup
Schema markup is microdata that helps search engines better understand your website’s content. For local businesses, it signals the geography you serve — making it an important factor in local SEO rankings, whether you’re in Tauranga or elsewhere.
Google offers a free tool to test and validate whether Schema is correctly implemented on your site — if there are any errors, it’ll flag them for you.
The example above shows Schema in action on the SummerGlow Apiaries website, displaying sitelinks, contact details, star-rated reviews, and top product links directly in the search results.
Turn Search Visibility into Predictable, Long Term Profit
Effective Search Engine Optimisation in Tauranga focuses on attracting buyers not just visitors, so your website produces qualified leads and sales. Duoplus aligns SEO with your sales process, optimises landing pages, improves conversion rates, and builds sustainable organic visibility that keeps delivering profit over time.
Links from other Tauranga and Bay of Plenty websites
Getting a link back from local websites, blogs or directories can help you rank better in Google.
But it’s not about getting links from just any website. Google has cracked down on spammy link building activities that many companies were using to increase their ranking.
Google wants to see:
- Links from a variety of relevant sites
- Links with a variety of relevant words in the link.
- Links from a variety of types of sites (websites, social media, directories, blogs, etc).
- Links built up over time. (If a whole lot of links appear all at once, Google can be suspicious that you’re gaming the system and can penalise your site.)
- Links from pages that are important – a link from a powerful site in your niche is a lot more valuable than links from unknown sites.
For example, if you are a Tauranga plumbing company, try to get links from other Tauranga tradies, business directories, general directories with “Plumber” as a category, or any plumbing related blog. If you can get a link from a website that has high domain authority that’s even better because higher the domain authority, the more power the link has and the more this helps with getting ranked higher in Google.
Building a large enough number of links from a wide variety of sites is next to impossible to do on your own. And it would certainly take away from your ability to focus your attention on your customers and building your business. That’s why we take care of it for you.
Once we have made the initial On-Page Optimisation changes to your site, we then start to build links to your site each week, and over time this tells Google and other search engines that your site is important. We work with a wide variety of quality sites to build content and links that point to your site. We focus on creating real, genuine links. (It is very important to stay well away from anything spammy or automated.) And our results speak for themselves.
Search engine results take months to build up, but are enormously beneficial for getting your perfect target market to your website.
Invest in local SEO in Tauranga and reap the benefits of your strong rankings, leads and sales.
