How We Approach Our Work

What is SEO? Attention to detail, strategic thinking, continuous learning. And it all comes back to the digital marketing stack.

Search engine optimization doesn't work in a vacuum. More than any other digital marketing channel, an effective SEO campaign requires attention to infrastructure, analytics, and content. We help take care of the on-site and off-site success factors required for sustainable growth.

Earned - The attention and exposure you receive from being useful and significant

It's not just "content marketing." Everything you say—in text, in video, in images—is content. Search engines index it all. From keyword research to natural language processing, all our SEO campaigns account for the content you have on your site today and what content you need to produce to resonate with your audience.

Search engines don't provide detailed keyword data, and they're slow to react to site changes. Our sophisticated team builds the models, sets expectations, and connects multiple data sources for meaningful measurement and a full understanding of the impact around our SEO efforts.

All of your SEO efforts are only as good as your site's infrastructure. The code that drives your web site, the servers that deliver content, and the people that manage it make up your infrastructure. If infrastructure fails, so will your digital marketing efforts.

"We combine technical skills and creativity to..." Every agency says the same thing. At Portent, here's how we really get SEO done.
