The Three Types of SEO

There are three main types of SEO: Technical On-Site SEO, Off-Site SEO, and Content Marketing SEO. Each of these three pillars are equally important to your website’s Search Engine Optimization.

Technical On-Site SEO

Technical changes to your website code structure to improve website indexing and ranking

Off-Site SEO

Efforts to ensure consistency of brand and best use of imagery on all external websites

Content Marketing

Development of website resources to improve quality of website and attract more traffic

Technical On-Site SEO

Off-Site SEO

Off-site SEO is all about how well your business appears on maps, directories, apps and all other online touchpoints. This aspect of SEO ensures your winery is being found wherever anyone is looking, and includes some of the following aspects:

Auditing and citation building for consistent business information
Submission of best images to directories throughout the web
Optimization to Google, Bing & Apple Maps

Optimization of Google Business Profile
Ensure optimal listing on all niche industry sites (AVAs, DMOs, etc)

Content Marketing SEO

Google actively rewards content (articles/blogs/resources) that is highly valuable to viewers by ranking it higher in search results. Content Marketing SEO involves the development of pages and ongoing blog articles that provide true value to visitors eager to visit your region or taste your style of wine. These sections of your website provide driving directions, tasting itineraries, recommendations on lodging and B&Bs, etc. Don’t be afraid to provide links to other businesses in your industry… it signals to Google that you are a wealth of information about your specific niche and worthy of them ranking you higher in search results.
