Our SEO Process in Action

Our work begins with a comprehensive SEO Audit. This is not a simple, automated report but an in-depth analysis of your website, audience, and competitive marketplace. From this audit, we create a bespoke, A-Z roadmap that clearly outlines the quick wins and long-term strategy needed for your success.

Once the roadmap is in place, we execute a tailored SEO Campaign. This ongoing work often includes:

  • Initial Setup: Setting up full website tracking with tools like Google Search Console and Google Analytics.
  • On-Page Optimisation: Optimising your content, headings, and metadata for your target keywords.
  • Content Marketing: Developing a content strategy to fill keyword gaps and attract new users.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Proactively tracking your site for any new technical issues and adjusting the strategy in response to algorithm updates.

FAQs

Is Joomla SEO friendly?

Joomla is an SEO-friendly platform, but it requires a bit more initial setup than some other content management systems like WordPress. Once configured, it offers robust features that can help your website rank well in search results.

What is the best Joomla SEO extension?

A third-party plugin can significantly extend your Joomla website's SEO capabilities. We recommend 4SEO as it offers a comprehensive suite of features. This plugin constantly analyses your site to detect and report on change, making it easy to manage your website SEO. It adds meta and structured data, builds your XML sitemap, has an easy redirects system and optimises your content for social sharing.
Other advanced features include extracting keywords from Google Search Console, displaying Core Web Vitals in your dashboard, checking keyword rankings, and automatically generating internal links. And that is not all! We love working with this plugin, a huge improvement on previous Joomla SEO plugins.

Problems with your Joomla SEO URLs not working property?

There are many issues that can cause the SEO URLs in Joomla to not work. Common problems include an incorrect .htaccess configuration, an incompatible SEO plugin, website and local caching issues, or corrupted menu links.
If you're having trouble, our team can help you diagnose and fix these problems to get your URLs working correctly.

How can I create a sitemap for my Joomla site?

While Joomla doesn't have a built-in XML sitemap generator, you can easily create one using a third-party extension such as 4SEO. An XML sitemap is a file that lists all your important URLs, making it easier for search engines to crawl and index your site. After creating the sitemap, you should submit it to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

How do I manage duplicate content issues on Joomla?

Duplicate content occurs when the same content is accessible via multiple URLs. Joomla can create these issues when an article is linked from multiple menus. The best way to solve this is by using a canonical URL, which tells search engines which version is the "original." Many third-party SEO extensions provide a simple way to manage canonical tags.
