SEO for Recruitment Agencies

Successful Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is all about making it as easy as possible for your clients and candidates to find you when they use a search engine.

But achieving high rankings on Google, Bing or Yahoo requires an understanding of their ever-changing algorithms to figure out the best way to outrank your competitors.

In recruitment, you can focus on keywords relating to specific job titles or by highlighting your agency’s specialities. Or you can understand what your clients and candidates are searching for online and optimise your copy, so you show up at the top of search listings.

SEO is also easier than you might think. It takes time to set up, but done well it’s a proven inbound lead generator that will serve you for years to come.

Based on the outcome of an SEO audit, we’ll put together a plan to correct any issues that may need attention. 

We then get stuck into updating your copy, using keyword research and ensuring your website actually speaks to your audiences.

Once we’re done, we make sure we track and report on the results on a monthly basis.
