The following points show you how we tailor our packages and customise them to your profile:
Server and Structural Issues –
URL or web address recap. When an URL is requested from your website the server returns a header server status code. Ideally this should be ‘200 OK’ meaning that your browser is informed that the page exists and that the requested has been processed successfully. Along with this status code comes additional information to include HTML code that your browser will use to display page content, images etc. as defined by you, the owner.
On-Page SEO Recommendation –
this means you have the option of classifying individual web pages thereby boosting them higher and earning a higher standard of relevant traffic in search engines. On-page refers to the content and HTML source code that can be optimised. Off-page refers to links and other external signals. Our extensive industry and partner knowledge allows us to keep you up to date and provide you with all the latest trends.
Link-building plan –
website growth by helping your company build links (and relationships) with trusted experts in your industry.
Competitive Analysis SEO –
SEO competitive analysis is vital in your ability to remain a key player. By exploring and analysing the links, keywords, content etc. of your SEO competitors it is possible to reverse-engineer their most successful elements into your own SEO strategy.
Usability Review –
as users yourselves how many times have you clicked away from a site because of its failure to be user friendly? Now think how user friendly your website is? Success or failure can hinge on how user friendly a site is for your potential customers. However, user friendly may mean lots of users but not customers and poor SEO means few visitors.
Accessibility Review –
put simply, is your site easy to access and the coding clean? Does it have heading structures, text links and all other relevant scripts?
Content Production Review –
you cannot site back on your laurels and wait for customers. Consistent new and exciting content means you will be ranked higher. Good SEO gives you the ability to produce consistent output. If you are doing content marketing correctly then your site will be on page 1.
Page Performance –
do you think your customers would be happy if the ERP or other solutions were slow? Do you complain when a website you are using is at snail pace? Since Google’s Algorithm Speed Update the page speed is now a direct ranking factor, as well bounce rate and the reduction of dwell time. Google always puts the user first.
Keyword Tracking –
your keywords are your passport to success. Remember our section on pay-per-click? The right keywords mean prospective customers.

You may or may not have heard of Pay-per-click advertising.
The following points show you how we tailor our packages and customise them to your profile:
Google Tag Manager Setup –
marketing tags are used to collect information about visitors to your website. These can be determined to include web analytics, campaign analytics, visitor numbers, A/B testing and ad servers as well as personalisation, behavioural re-targeting and conversion tracking.
Negative Keyword Management –
you could be worried about the cost of Google Ad campaigns and we understand those concerns. One way you can keep cost down is by using negative keywords that will exclude certain searches from your campaign thereby stopping you paying for ‘clicks’. We have an extensive library of negative keywords to choose from.
Budget Analysis AdWords –
Google Ads allows you to determine an average daily budget based on how much you want to spend each day over a month. To help decide on this we estimate for you your competitors spending and initially set-up a test budget to see results. However, here at digitus we have found that it is better to focus on earnings per click (EPC) and therefore we prefer to discontinue with the initial budget and assign a new one based at a campaign and keyword level.
Competitor Spending –
your knowledge of competitor spending will help you in determining your ultimate budget. With our knowledge of your industry and our tools we can provide you with a benchmark of competitor spending.
Setup and Manage Ads per Target Group –
given the wide range of the decision makers within your target audience, requires you to have different messages and keywords to attract eg CIO’s using different campaigns. You want to be there in the decision making phase.
Advanced Audiences –
most people like to spend the majority of time online browsing based on interests, watching videos, gaming etc. Anything other than searching on google! PPC advertisers use Google AdWords to appear on all of these using the Google Display Network (GDN). Your company can appear here too and we will help you set up ads using your target audience interests. We build a profile of who your target audience are based on their use of apps, channels, videos etc. across YouTube and GDN and then formulate advertisements based on their personality and preferences.
Geo-Targeting –
you can even become more specific with your target audience by using location targeting. The cost-effective benefits for you using this type of campaign are immense as this allows you to target a specific country, location within a country, a given radius of location or specific location groups.
Advanced Bid Management –
Google Ads bid management allows you to raise and lower your keyword bids. This can be a little daunting for new users, even more computer savvy people find it somewhat overwhelming, especially if they are involved in large advertising campaigns. However, this will allow maximise your potential while staying in budget.
Update of Ads Based on the Latest Google Updates –
you want to stay on top of new features and updates on the Google platform and keeping informed will ensure that you do not miss any changes that will be beneficial to yourselves.
Re-marketing Campaign –
realistically you should expect over 80% of people to leave your site without any action and have visited your site 2 – 3 times before committing themselves. Re-marketing allows a cookie to be inserted into the browser of users giving you the opportunity to show them targeted ads, depending on their movements in and around your site. This gives you a remarkably powerful tool as all the Google data indicates that you can double your potential customers if they are on one of your re-marketing lists. Regular visitors can become regular customers.
Custom Rules to Display Ads –
this is about the timing of your ads and your audience. To be cost-effective you want your ads to run when your target audience is searching. Data collected allows ads to be displayed at the right time to the right audience.
Principal Alignment –
SAP, Microsoft etc have bigger budgets and can spend more of their money on ads than you probably can. You do not want to compete with them, however by working with their ads you can boost your brand and services.
