When you’re thinking about SEO before your site is built, you can plan how best to link each page together effectively, and how to make your navigation work well for search engines, as well as for your visitors.

If you have a full SEO strategy in mind before you begin work on building the site, you may find you can do some of the more interesting link building techniques to better effect.

One of the best examples of this is being able to have a blog sit on a folder on your main site, instead of tucked away on a subdomain or on a completely different domain. This way, you can be sure that you’ll be making the most of all of the links the blog picks up.

Why being on the first page is important?

In a study done by Chitika in 2010, it is estimated that 95% of search engine clicks occur on the first page of search engine result page (SERP). It is interesting to note that going from the top of the second page (rank 11th) to the bottom of the first page (rank 10th) could potentially see a 143% jump in traffic.

If you are not ranked on the first page, it is highly likely that you will receive only minimal traffic for the keywords you have targeted – missing out on potentially large amounts of revenue for your business.

The importance of Google result positioning cannot be undermined. Effort should always be made to rank your website on the first page of Google. Once succeeded, continuous SEO  improvement should be carried out to work your website up to one of the top three spots for keywords you have targeted.

Organic CTR per Google Result Positioning

To further emphasize on the importance of a page one ranking, a study done by optify showed that the average click through rate (CTR) on page one of Google was 8.9%, while the average CTR on page two of Google was a mere 1.5%. This data suggested that ranking beyond page one has almost no business value.

When an SEO consultant is brought on after a site is built, it generally means the pages on the site have already been determined. The content has been decided, the pages are live and it’s the job of the SEO to optimise them.

Typically, the keyword research then needs to fit around what’s already on the site. This happens more often than it should, and it’s completely backwards. The best scenario is for the keyword research to be done before the site is built, during the planning stages and, ideally, as early as possible.
