International SEO: How Perth Businesses Are Reaching Global Markets

By Peter Brittain on October 31, 2024 in International SEO

As Perth businesses increasingly look to expand their reach beyond local markets, international SEO has become crucial for success. Through helping local companies establish their global online presence, I’ve discovered what it takes to succeed in international markets.

Here is a case study of a business we have successfully expanded its footprint globally.

International Success: A Case Study

Seasons Bali represents one of our most successful international SEO implementations. We first started working with Seasons way back around 2010 when we developed a new website for them and ran some very successful Google Ads campaigns and a long running SEO campaign.

In December 2023, I had a meeting with the Seasons team via Zoom and then in person at their offices in Kerobokan during my next business trip to Bali the same month.

After a bit of research, it was quite easy to see that they faced the unique challenge of attracting clients from multiple countries while maintaining their strong local presence in Bali and across Australia.

Our goal was for Seasons to be an option for search engine users when they are researching rehab centres in any location they may be. So if they’re in Perth and search for ‘Drug Rehab Perth’, then Seasons’ local Perth page appears in the search results offering the person searching their drug rehab treatments that are located in Bali. This can work well because the person searching for this service may not have even considered Bali as a location for treatment.

Their initial international challenges included:

Limited visibility in key global markets
Poor performance in international searches
Inconsistent regional targeting
Language and cultural barriers
Weak international authority signals

By Peter Brittain on October 4, 2024 in Website Analytics

When clients compare monthly website traffic statistics in Google Analytics, we are often asked: “Should I use User Acquisition or Traffic Acquisition to track my website marketing progress?”

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) can feel like navigating a maze, especially if you’re a website owner focused on running your business. But hidden within this maze is a treasure trove of insights about your website traffic – where it comes from, what visitors do, and how to improve their experience. The Traffic Acquisition report is one of the most valuable tools in your GA4 arsenal.

This post breaks down the essentials of Traffic Acquisition in GA4, empowering you to understand your audience and make data-driven decisions to boost your website’s success.

Why Traffic Acquisition Matters for Your Website

Simply put, Traffic Acquisition tells you how people find your website. Are they coming from Google searches, social media posts, online ads, or links on other websites? Knowing this is critical because it helps you:

Measure Marketing ROI: See which online efforts are bringing in the most visitors.
Find New Opportunities: Discover untapped sources of visitors or ways to improve existing channels.
Make Smarter Investments: Focus your time and budget on the strategies that deliver results.
Understand Your Audience: Learn about their preferences and how they interact with your website.

Why is NAP important for Google?

By Peter Brittain on August 15, 2024 in Local SEO

You’re in the right place if you’ve been scratching your head about NAP and its importance for Google and SEO.

What is NAP?

Let’s clarify what NAP means. NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone number. It’s the basic contact information for your business that you see all over the internet.

Why Google Cares About NAP

Back in 2015, we started working with Robertson Hayles Lawyers in Perth. They struggled to get noticed online, barely scraping onto the first page for their key search terms. One of the first things we tackled was their NAP consistency.

You can see how we helped Robertson Hayles Lawyers improve their online presence in our case study here

When your NAP is consistent across the web, it signals to Google that your business is legitimate and trustworthy.

Builds Trust and Credibility

Think about it from a user’s perspective. Would you fully trust them if you’re looking for a local business and you see conflicting information about their location or phone number?

Google feels the same way.

Consistent NAP information builds trust not just with potential customers but with search engines too.
