SEO Website Optimization

Is SEO a black box you are scared to open?

We can help. Most dog breeders know their website requires search engine optimization (SEO) to rank high in Google and attract new puppy buyers. However, for most, SEO remains a black box they are scared to open.

Our SEO Website Optimization has been our most requested digital service. This is the breeder’s easy solution to enter the SEO game – a simple step that can transform your breeding program.

SEO is typically the most intimidating element of Better Breeder Institute’s Pyramid for Website Success. With our SEO Website Optimization service, we take the foundational steps to boost your current website’s SEO traction. This alone can be enough to get most breeder websites on the first page of Google for breed & puppy searches in your region, resulting in an influx of new puppy inquiries you will not receive otherwise.

SEO Website Optimization Includes:

  • Website Audit. We will verify the website’s indexability by Google and identify structural issues, broken links, and missing metadata.
  • Keyword Research. We will conduct keyword research specific to your breed and location (state/province, city, region)
  • Optimize Headings & Copy Blocks. Using our keyword research, we will strategically create homepage content to educate site visitors and rank your site higher in Google. We will also optimize your site to rank well in local search, capturing a larger share of the breed searches in your region.
  • Optimize Metadata & Alt Text. These off-page elements are often forgotten but critical to your listing’s relevance to puppy shoppers’ search queries. This is important if you are going to earn the clicks on Google.
  • Standardize SERP display. We will ensure your page listings look clean, consistent & professional in the search engine results pages (SERPs).
  • External Linking. We will establish link paths to high-domain-authority websites to “establish your tribe” and help Google better understand your position in your breed & purebred dog sport landscape.
  • Update Website. We will execute the updates for websites on WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix. Or, if you have a website developer or manage your own site, we can provide the optimizations for them to apply.
  • Google Tool Integrations. This includes Google Analytics 4 & Google Search Console. These are critical for ensuring that Google recognizes your website and allows you to measure performance. 
  • Google Data Studio Reports. Set up Google Looker reports to monitor website health and performance, delivered to your Inbox monthly.
  • Provide a List of Recommendations. We will share a list of recommended actions to improve your website’s domain authority and inbound link profile.

This package is the foundational first step toward realizing website success.

NOTE: The SEO Website Optimization does not guarantee search engine success. The service includes a large list of SEO tactics and best practices proven to improve a website’s natural search performance and keyword rankings.

However, several factors outside our control or the scope of this project may limit or preclude your website from experiencing the desired performance improvement. These factors include, but are not limited to, outdated website platforms, non-responsive and/or unoptimized website themes, economy-grade hosting, heavy code, large images, bulky page builder tools, and malicious or manipulative external linking. Please review the Terms of Service.

If the optimizations from our SEO service do not achieve the desired results, a platform migration to a modern template will likely be necessary. However, all optimizations provided by our service can be carried over to a new theme or platform.

The SEO Process

Dog Breeder's Pyramid for Website Success - SEO

Once you order SEO Website Optimization, here is what to expect:

  1. Complete the Questionnaire. Within one (1) business day following purchase, you will receive our SEO Website Optimization Questionnaire. Use this online form to enter your breed, kennel, history, and website information. Then, Submit.
  2. Information Review. Our Website Optimization Team will review your information within 2-3 business days and follow up for any clarification. If we identify any issues that we believe may prevent your website from benefiting from our service, we will inform you and offer a full refund.
  3. We Get To Work. Once we schedule the project, we start with a website audit and keyword research, and then continue with optimization development and Google integrations. (Estimated completion time: 7-10 business days.)
  4. Upload the Content. If the site is on WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix, we should be able to make all updates. If the site is on another platform or an unfamiliar theme, we can review it, but we don’t represent ourselves to be experts on every website platform. If we aren’t comfortable with the platform and you don’t have a web developer, we will direct you to a respected freelance network where you can hire a web developer familiar with your specific platform. We will provide you with the optimizations for them to apply to your website.
  5. Reporting. We will set up an automated monthly report to be delivered to your Inbox. This will allow you to monitor your website’s performance improvement over time and determine whether other optimizations (content, technical, hosting, etc.) are necessary.
  6. Project Complete. At this point, your SEO website optimization is complete. NOTE: SEO is a long game. We typically begin to see the impact of optimization on performance within 2-6 weeks. However, it may take up 3-6 months to realize all the gains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the SEO Website Optimization a replacement for the Website Academy digital course?

No. Better Breeder Website Academy dives deeply into all three elements of the Pyramid for Website Success, including SEO, Design, and Content. All three must be strategically implemented in order for your website to experience maximum digital success.

SEO Website Optimization addresses several of the first and most impactful elements of SEO, but it does not go to the level or detail covered in Website Academy or provided by our Pyramid Optimization Service.

Will SEO Website Optimization get my website to the first page of Google?

For many breeder websites, our SEO Website Optimization service is all that is required to get their website on Page 1 for their breed and state. However, we can’t guarantee results.

Several factors exist outside our control that may limit or preclude the desired performance improvement from being realized. These factors include, but are not limited to: outdated website platforms, non-optimized/responsive website themes, economy-grade hosting, heavy code, large images, bulky page builder tools, malicious or manipulative external linking, and ultimately, Google’s algorithm.

What if the SEO optimizations are not successful?

If our service is not successful in increasing your target keyword rankings and driving more relevant traffic to your website, a migration to a modern platform with higher-quality hosting is likely needed. Google does penalize old, non-secure, and poor-performing websites, particularly on mobile devices.

All optimization from our SEO project can be transferred to a new platform, and your new website will be poised to perform quickly.

Is SEO Website Optimization included in our Website Design Services?

While our Website Design projects integrate many technical SEO best practices and the websites are built on the highly-optimized Ultimate Breeder platform, the standard build projects do not include specific keyword research and targeted optimization.

We have developed an SEO add-on option for breeders who want to improve the front-end optimization of their websites even further.
