What NowVillage brings

What our database SEO service covers

Here is some of the work involved in our owned media consulting

  • Analysis

    Using analytics and heatmap tools such as Google Analytics, we analyse the current problems with your site in detail. We examine the keywords bringing people in, how they behave, conversion and the site hierarchy from several angles, and identify what to improve.

  • Roadmap

    On the basis of that analysis we set the right roadmap towards your business goals: targets, a clear picture of the audience, the subjects and types of content, the KPIs, and the schedule for each piece of work.

  • On-site work

    We make the technical improvements within the site that let search engines evaluate it correctly: page speed, mobile friendliness, an optimised site structure and internal linking.

  • Off-site work

    We raise the credibility and authority of your owned media through earning external links. Creating high-quality content, encouraging it to spread on social media and building relationships with relevant external sites aims at earning links naturally.

  • Improving conversion

    This is the work of raising the likelihood that a visitor ultimately converts, buying, enquiring or requesting materials. We improve the calls to action and simplify the forms.

  • Article production

    We produce high-quality article content suited to your business and your audience. We handle it end to end, from keyword selection and the outline through writing by a specialist writer to proofreading, delivering articles that are valuable to the reader and strong on SEO.

  • White papers

    We support the planning and production of white papers aimed at generating leads. A white paper bringing specialist information together helps customers solve their problems and makes an effective lead generation tool. We handle planning, design and writing in one place.

About our SEO support for database-driven sites

Frequently asked questions

  • How does this differ from ordinary SEO?

    Where ordinary SEO concentrates on improving individual pages, the key difference here is optimising the structure of the database-driven site as a whole. Rather than fixing tens or hundreds of thousands of pages one by one, we improve the structure and design of the pages the database generates, at root, to raise rankings efficiently.

  • Which kinds of site is this for?

    Any site where a large number of pages is generated from a database: property, recruitment, travel, reviews, product comparison. It is especially effective for sites wanting to grow traffic from a wide range of long-tail terms rather than a few keywords.

  • How long before we see results?

    It depends on the scale of the site and its current state, but results often begin to show within six months to a year. Improving the database structure at root takes time, but once the optimisation is complete a steady growth in organic traffic can be expected.

  • Can you make changes to the site as well?

    Yes. We support you end to end, from a database structure and site design optimised for SEO through to changes to the UI and UX that take the user experience into account.

  • Can we ask you to produce content such as articles?

    Yes. Raising the SEO effect of a database-driven site further calls for specialist article content. Adding information the database does not hold raises the standing of the site as a whole and attracts more users.

  • How often do you submit reports?

    We submit a progress report once a month. We track the main measures, ranking changes, traffic, conversion rate, and propose improvements based on the data.

  • We are considering bringing it in-house in future

    Yes, we actively support that. We help you do SEO yourself by sharing know-how, holding sessions for the people involved, and producing operating manuals.

  • Can we ask for advertising management alongside SEO?

    Yes. Building a medium to long-term basis for traffic through SEO while producing short-term results through advertising maximises the effect of your marketing as a whole. Combining the two makes acquisition more strategic.

What is database SEO?

Database SEO is an approach for large sites holding a great deal of structured data: property portals, job sites, e-commerce, review sites. Working on tens of thousands to millions of detail pages, a property page, a job page, by hand is impossible.

Database SEO resolves that. Rather than touching individual pages, we optimise the page templates themselves for SEO and let the database fill them, strengthening every page semi-automatically.
We design the internal linking that maximises how efficiently the site is crawled, implement structured data so search engines understand the information, and build a dynamic setup that avoids the duplication that creeps in across pages while showing users exactly what they want. That lets you aim at ranking for an enormous number of long-tail terms (such as "Shinagawa two-bedroom rental") and maximise traffic from people with real intent to buy.
