Would you like to own a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Company in Nigeria?
The Search Engine Optimization (SEO) industry is pretty young in Nigeria and I can tell you that those who position themselves ahead of the curve will reap the reward bountifully. If owning your own company is something you have always dreamt off then you might want to consider the SEO industry. The caveat though is that SEO is a lot of hard work and also a commitment to constant acquisition of knowledge because of how quickly search engines change their algorithms.

4 Tips to help you start a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Company in Nigeria
1. Learn and Practice Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Is it not funny that a number of people start businesses they have no idea about just because it looks promising? I am also guilty of this, in 2008 I started an oil and gas business with no knowledge of what I was doing, until I woke up someday and the business that looked so promising was gone. So the 1st step if you plan to a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Company in Nigeria is to master some of the latest trends in SEO. For starters I invite you to attend one of our “Get Found Online” Training – this will comfortably introduce you to the world of Internet Marketing.
Below are a few of the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) terms that you will have to get used to;
- Anchor Text
- Alt Tags
- Backlinks

With market definition comes the opportunity to create different packages to cater for different needs.
3. Build and optimize your website
It is more like a sin if you own a business without having a website. What is your excuse? Getting a website is no longer expensive, in fact in order to grow our Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Company in Nigeria, we have created small business website packages, so as to make it easy for business owners to get professionally designed, SEO friendly websites for as little as N20,000 ($150) 1yr domain name and hosting inclusive.
Gone are the days when one just builds a website and dumps it online. If you want to be in the SEO business then you will have to learn the basics of website optimization.
Some Website Optimization Steps (in no particular order) are as follows;
- Proper Keyword Research
- Make your site easier to navigate (use breadcrumbs)
- Offer quality content and services
- Write better anchor text
- Use heading tags appropriately
- Create unique, accurate page titles
- Make use of the “description” meta tag
- Improve the structure of your URLs
- Optimize your use of images
- Take advantage of web analytics services i.e Google analytics
- Use a webmaster tool i.e. Google Webmasters tool
Are these steps difficult to comprehend? Not to worry, I felt the same way the first time I came across them but today I teach people about them. A good content management system like wordpress has thousands of plugins that will take care of some of these optimization steps, so you can focus on your core. If you need any help with setting up and optimizing your website then you should be talking to CFA Leverage.
