SERP Analysis and Keyword Research

Our reputation management campaigns begin with keyword research and an analysis of various Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). This research enables us to discover which search queries are being used to find information about your brand. All the sites ranking in the SERPs (which we call properties) will be labeled as “positive,” “negative,” or “neutral”. This information is used to understand the landscape of your brand’s online reputation. More importantly, it allows us to develop a methodical strategy to improve your brand’s reputation. Nevertheless, there are always new properties that rank for branded queries, which is why the initial SERP analysis is just the beginning. Ongoing analysis and rank checking is crucial to achieving lasting success and improve the rankings of both positive and neutral brand properties in order to naturally displace the negative brand properties.
