Marketing, Web, and Design Blog

We recently came across an awesome SEO infographic created by Search Engine Land, a must read online hub for the latest news and information on how search engines search and in-depth search engine optimization information. I thought this visual graphic would be helpful for our readers to understand the basics of SEO using a visual which gives a hats-off salute to the a periodic table of elements. 

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is always a high priority for any website. However, sometimes it’s difficult to grasp all of the elements that work together to achieve high rankings with search engines. At Ocreative, we often find ourselves educating our clients on various aspects of websites including design standards, content management systems, online marketing strategies, social media, and of course, Search Engine Optimization.

As I was browsing around Search Engine Land, I also found a great video they created with Common Craft that explains Search Engine Optimization basics in a way that can be easily understood. Enjoy! For me, it was exciting to find this video that closely paralleled what I have been verbally explaining to clients for years.

Hmmm... turkey and stuffing... and that after-dinner fatigue... Our team here at Ocreative has a lot to be thankful for this year: amazing clients, each other, and our loving families. In celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday, our office will be closed so our team can mellow out with family and focus on energy depleting tasks like “Over-eating” and “Sleeping it off.” We
