With the rate at which the digital world is becoming more competitive, for your brand to thrive online, you need to know how to utilise the strategies, tools and practices that can enhance your search engine performance. Achieving success on search engines like Google is essential for any business as it increases visibility and attracts targeted traffic to your website. At AMSOS, we understand the importance of mastering the dynamics of search engine optimisation, and we have put together our proprietary process to help you understand the art of achieving success on search engines.
Mastering SEO is about understanding the basics and creating a strategy incorporating user experience, innovation, leveraging tools, and data analysis. Our BUILD framework will bring insight into our strategy for generating success on search for product brands struggling with low visibility, low conversion and low ROI.
Our Founder’s Journey
Stephen “Mr SOS” Solademi’s journey began at 14 when he taught himself website development and digital marketing, laying the groundwork for his future success in e-commerce. By 2006, he had honed his technical skills and launched his first successful e-commerce site, solidifying his passion for the industry and its potential for product-based businesses. This early experience equipped him with invaluable insights into the complexities of e-commerce, which now fuels AMSOS’s approach to helping founders of product brands navigate the competitive e-commerce landscape and achieve long-term success.

SEO Basics: Building a Strong Foundation
Understanding and mastering SEO basics is crucial. Here are the core elements we focus on:
Keyword Research
Identify Your Niche
The first step to mastering proper keyword optimisation is knowing the relevant words and phrases your target audience uses in your niche. Tools like Google Keyword Planner, SE Ranking, SEMrush, and Ahrefs can help you discover keywords with high search volumes and low competition.
Long-Tail Keywords
Besides keywords with high search volume and high sales intent, focus on long-tail keywords that reflect users’ queries. They are more effective in yielding desired results because they are often less competitive and can drive highly targeted traffic and higher conversion rates.
On-Page Optimisation
Meta Tags
Ensure your title tags and meta descriptions are compelling, contain your primary keyword, and explicitly capture the page’s content. Doing this helps improve click-through rates (CTR).
Header Tags (H1, H2, H3)
Use header tags to structure your content logically and make reading easy for your target audience. Intentionally infuse keywords within these headers naturally.
URL Structure
Create clean, precise, explicit and descriptive URLs that include your focus keyword for easy reading.
Content Creation
High-Quality Content
One major way you engage and interact with your target audience is by producing valuable, informative, and engaging content that addresses their needs and questions.
Keyword Density
Properly infused and utilised keywords help your content easily gain visibility. Maintain a keyword density of 1% to 1.5% to avoid keyword stuffing while optimising your content.
Multimedia Integration
Use images, videos, infographics, and other multimedia elements to enrich your content and improve user engagement.
Technical SEO
Mobile-Friendliness
Ensure your website is mobile-friendly, as Google prioritises mobile-first indexing. It should be responsive and easy to navigate on all mobile phones.
Site Speed
Users tend to revisit sites that load and respond quickly, so you must optimise your site’s loading speed. Tools like Google Page Speed Insights can provide valuable insights and recommendations.
Secure Your Site
Ensure you implement security measures such as HTTPS to secure your website, a ranking factor for Google.
Engaging Content
Interactive Elements
To make your content more interesting and engaging, you should incorporate interactive elements like quizzes, polls, and slide to keep users hooked.
Readable Formatting
Use short paragraphs, bullet points, and subheadings to make your content easily digestible.
Optimise the User Experience
User experience (UX) is a critical component of SEO. A site that is easy to navigate and provides a seamless experience will keep users engaged, improve your rankings and lead to better conversion.
Navigation and Site Structure
Intuitive Navigation
Create clear and intuitive navigation icons that promptly respond once users click on them; it helps users find information quickly and easily.
Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs make it easy for users to find their way around your website by showing their location in the site structure. They enhance the user navigation experience.
Engaging Content
Interactive Elements
To make your content more interesting and engaging, you should incorporate interactive elements like quizzes, polls, and slide to keep users hooked.
Readable Formatting
Use short paragraphs, bullet points, and subheadings to make your content easily digestible.
Conversion Optimisation
Clear CTAs
You must be intentional about achieving a high conversion rate. Clear and compelling calls to action (CTAs) guide users towards desired actions, such as buying your products or submitting a form.
A/B Testing
Continuously perform A/B testing on different elements of your site to see which one performs better and which resonates best with your audience.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning

Personalisation
