The acronym SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which means Optimization for Search Engines. If you want to appear first on Google and other search engines like Yahoo and Bing, you cannot ignore implementing SEO activities and optimizations for your website.
Specifically, SEO includes a whole series of complex activities aimed at improving the visibility of a website, e-commerce, or any online portal. To be found by the right customers and beat online competition, it is necessary to conquer the top spots in search engine results!
SEO rules are constantly changing and not always easy to understand, which is why it is always better to rely on a professional SEO agency that can support your business with the right optimizations to improve website ranking on search engines.
It is for our innate passion and the presence of a team of experts who study and work every day to always be at the top, both nationally and internationally, that we have decided to make SEO one of the core services of our digital marketing agency.
By SEO service, we mean a specific technical activity aimed at improving the organic ranking of a website’s pages.
Search Engine Optimization services are aimed at all companies that wish to benefit from expert and competent consultancy to improve their website’s ranking on search engines. They are suitable for businesses with a medium/long-term vision that want to gain visibility and a steady increase in traffic over time.
The objective of SEO services is to ensure that the company’s website appears at the top of search results for all the most important keywords for the business. This will increase the site’s organic visibility and the chances of attracting the attention of target customers interested in the products or services offered, beating the competition.
There are different types of SEO services that an expert and competent digital marketing agency can offer to its clients. Here is an exhaustive list:
Let’s delve into each of these activities in detail to understand what they entail.
It is not enough to produce content to achieve SEO results; the published content must be of high quality and speak the “same language as Google”. SEO Content activities are precisely aimed at optimizing the content of your web pages so that Google positions it best in user search results. When you create content for your blog, always remember to take these actions:
One of the most controversial and little-known aspects of SEO activities is undoubtedly link building, or acquiring links from other sites. Link building (or link earning) is an Off-site SEO activity, which, unlike on-site SEO, operates outside the website. The Link building service is usually the next step after the backlink analysis activity: analyzing and then improving the profile of external links pointing to your business’s website can earn domain authority and improve the ranking of your web pages.
The Keyword and Market Research service aims to map out in detail the target keywords on Google for the relevant sector and analyze the market and the positioning of online competitors. Keyword research thus analyzes the main sector keywords, search volumes and intents for each keyword, your site’s ranking for each of the selected keywords, and that of the competitors. This SEO service is essential to better understand what your online customers are interested in and meet their needs (information or purchase). Our SEO agency does not just provide you with the data but also supports you in the right strategy to make the most of the information gathered.
The SEO Audit (or SEO analysis) is a detailed technical analysis that highlights the most relevant SEO elements for the organic ranking of the website. By scanning the site, opportunities for improvement and the health status of the website are identified. An SEO Audit cannot lack the technical checks of On-page SEO, including:
Do you manage an e-commerce? Then you cannot ignore SEO. Search engine optimization for an online shop can give a significant boost to your business performance. Among the various activities to implement in this case, it is worth mentioning some of extreme importance:
Are you undergoing a website redesign? Then the service you need is SEO Migration. This term refers to the set of all analysis, control, and optimization activities for your website’s visibility on Google, before, during, and after the migration (an operation that is carried out during the redesign of a website to indicate to Google the transition from one site to another).
These are highly technical operations that should be undertaken with the support of SEO experts. The risk of poorly executing an SEO migration is experiencing a significant drop in organic traffic, thus compromising business performance. Avantgrade.com has helped various clients both nationally and internationally to manage the SEO migration of their website, successfully supporting all phases of the activity.
On-site SEO (or on-page SEO) encompasses all those optimization activities to be carried out within a website to improve its ranking among search engine results. These operations range from content optimization to metatags, concluding with technical SEO aspects. Among the various points, on-site SEO considers:
Local SEO is the set of activities useful for ranking a website for local searches, that is, queries that have relevance tied to a specific locality or geographical area. Local SEO services are essential for businesses such as restaurants, hotels, physical stores, gyms, professionals (doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.) that operate in a specific city, and so on.
The purpose of Local SEO is to optimize a website to have it rank prominently for local searches, which typically present a page containing a map of activities in the area of interest. This makes it easier to find customers in the territory where the product or service is offered. Optimizing your Google My Business listing is of fundamental importance for Local SEO.
Every website enjoys a specific level of authority – which we could define as popularity – determined by the quantity and quality of signals it receives. In other words, the more (and better) incoming links there are, the higher the chance of improving the ranking in search results. Our backlink audit serves to define the parameters within which action must be taken to improve one’s profile, as well as to establish ethical strategies for acquiring new links.
Do you operate in different countries? A single website structure may not always be suitable for multiple distinct markets. To optimize your online presence in different countries, the International SEO service allows you to perform all activities that will benefit the company in terms of visibility for each reference market: from keyword analysis to site structure, each market will have specific rules to follow. Our team of SEO experts will analyze your situation and provide you with detailed guidance on how to optimize your online presence in various markets from an SEO perspective.
In addition to the SEO services presented so far, our digital marketing agency also offers corporate training: our SEO courses are tailored to the needs of our clients. They are not standard courses but are designed ad hoc for each specific case. At the end of the course, a certificate is also issued to certify the skills acquired.
An SEO consultant is a professional in website ranking optimization. This figure is responsible for analyzing your business in detail and advising you on the best SEO optimizations that can be implemented, sometimes even supporting you in performing them. Specifically, these are the three work phases of a good SEO consultant:
Here are some of the SEO optimizations that your digital marketing agency might suggest you implement:

A frequently asked question among companies looking to optimize their website is how much should you spend on SEO? SEO services also require a budget. Thinking that SEO is free is a strategic mistake to avoid, as is trying to cut costs at all costs. Just like purchasing a car or an appliance, the price of SEO activities is usually proportional to the quality and precision of the service you are buying.
Usually, a few thousand euros a year is not enough to achieve real organic ranking results for your web pages: by trying to save, you risk wasting your budget. Additionally, the cost can vary greatly depending on the collaboration you wish to start: how many SEO activities do you plan to carry out? Will you rely on a large agency or prefer the support of a freelancer?
All these details will determine the final price of the service.
