O TSocial Search
“Within search results,information tied to verified
online profiles will be ranked
higher than content withoutsuch verification, which will
result in most users naturally
clicking on the top (verified)results.
The true cost of remaininganonymous, then, might be
irrelevance.”

O TResponse: Social Signals for SEO
Social SEO Process
Socially enhance Sports Authority to in crease sharing &
Connect & optimize social profiles
Identify influencers & encourage them to engage
In a Learning Lab, a Catalyst trainer will visit the client on-site, meet with stakeholders (typically PR or content creators) and explain basic SEO concepts and touch points. The goal is to help stakeholders, "Think SEO" before a press release is written or a piece of content developed. When the communications team or the web development teams works basic SEO principles into everything they do, the benefit is optimized content, right the first time.
Similar to learning labs, Office Hours can be a pre-planned event for one our Search Directors to visit onsite, host a Webex presentation, webinar or a Google chat room. The Office Hours can be a one-on-one setting, in which certain individuals have requested additional training or it can be used as a group training session or open forum.
In most SEO campaigns there are particular areas which offer the greatest area of opportunity for growth. In these training segments, the Catalyst team will develop specialty training decks to review with key stakeholders. For example, for Land Rover and Jaguar, we developed Video Asset Optimization modules that cover SEO best practices and Social SEO techniques.
With the same intentions as Learning Labs, Partner Vendor Training is a means to train all partner agencies involved. The goal again is to help partner agencies (typically Web Design, Creative, Content Creators, etc.) to “Think SEO” before a new landing page is developed or new digital assets are created.
All clients also receive a collection of SEO best practices and studies which can act as reference material throughout the engagement. They also have access to Catalyst's own marketing blog and POVs where our own industry thought leaders provide points of view, in-depth analysis and useful insights on the market hot topics.
