How Do Our SEO Services Work?
When it comes to driving organic traffic to your website through SEO strategy, we take a “crawl, walk, run” approach that meets you where you’re at and sets your business up for long-term success.
From meticulous keyword analysis to seamless user experience design, we tackle your company’s biggest SEO challenges right alongside you.
Auditing & Discovery. The first step to SEO success is understanding your website’s current strengths and limitations. We take stock of everything from the technical structure of your site to your pages’ keyword rankings so we can make a plan that delivers results.
Goals & Objectives. We work with you to set both short- and long-term goals for improving your site’s organic rankings and driving more traffic. Then, we make a plan to meet those goals — starting with the low-hanging fruit and building to a comprehensive, ongoing SEO strategy.
Budgeting & Execution. Once we know your SEO starting point and where you need to go, we work within your budget to plan and execute the most impactful tactics on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis.
Future-Proofing & Continuous Improvement. Our SEO experts are dedicated to staying ahead of the constantly changing search landscape. We never stop testing, measuring, and tweaking our tactics to align with up-to-the-minute best practices — especially as AI-generated content and AI-driven search becomes the norm.

Vital’s Approach to SEO Services
As a full-service digital marketing and website design agency, we leverage multi-platform data and insights to dramatically improve SEO results.
1. Build a Strong Foundation
First things first: If your website doesn’t follow technical and U/X best practices, all the content creation and on-page SEO in the world won’t help your rankings. We work with you to plan and execute site improvements for short-term impact and long-term success.
2. Know Your Audience — and Your Competition
What are your ideal customers searching for when they’re looking for the products, services, or solutions you provide? What keywords are your competitors targeting? We do the research to answer those questions — and find new opportunities for you to hone your SEO edge.
3. Drive Full-funnel Traffic
We want you to rank as high as possible for high-intent, bottom-of-the-funnel keywords. But unlike most SEO agencies, we recognize that these searchers represent a tiny fraction of your long-term potential business — and we specialize in SEO tactics that get more people to your site at every stage of the buyer’s journey.
4. Give Them Something to Talk About
Getting new visitors to your site is one thing. Giving them truly valuable, search-optimized content to ensure that they engage with your brand and stick around long enough to convert to leads is another. Our SEO copywriting team is simply brilliant at harnessing your team’s subject-matter expertise to create rich content that drives clicks, builds brand loyalty, and ultimately increases sales.
5. Connect Your Channels
If you aren’t equipped for full-funnel, omni-channel marketing attribution, you’re missing valuable opportunities to maximize SEO results. At Vital, we build data and reporting feedback loops that enable us to learn from every marketing initiative and double down on what works.
6. Make Friends With the Robots
Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds tremendous potential to change how people search and interact with content online — and to empower SEO specialists to do more, faster. As a human-powered, AI-enabled digital marketing agency, we harness AI to deliver the data and insights we need to continually improve our SEO game, while never compromising on the quality of our content.
