Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

An effective search engine optimization program starts with a clear understanding of your target audience needs and preferences and a holistic understanding of the technology infrastructure and business goals.  

At Siteworx, SEO is a critical component of how we design and build powerful user experiences on the Web.  Siteworx SEO Consulting Services leverage our deep experience and proven methodology in assessing user needs, then translating those needs into websites that deliver.

Siteworx offers a four-step methodology that evaluates your current site's design and organization from a content and technical perspective, then gives you the tools to ensure your site consistently supports your SEO objectives.

Phase 1: Identify Target Audiences, Competitors Business and User Goals-to identify and prioritize your target audiences' needs and nomenclature. We also identify your top 3 online competitors and prioritize your content to focus on the areas that promise the highest ROI from a business and user standpoint.

Phase 2: Evaluate Content Management Practices and Tools-to ensure your process supports:


  • A keyword-based URL structure
  • Context-driven title tags
  • Metadata in web pages
  • Heading tags available through XHTML markup
