SEO – Search Engine Optimization in 2026: Create an SEO Strategy That Wins Google Search

In today’s web and search engines landscape, where every business is fighting for a slice of the results page, an effective SEO strategy is essential... not just a nice-to-have. Improvisation won’t rank in search, and it won’t drive steady website traffic or conversions.

We create an SEO plan tailored to your goals, your industry, and your growth stage, whether you’re launching a new site or expanding into new markets.

Our team has led 250+ campaigns and helped clients show up in search results for the queries that matter.

In one Notus case study, the number of phrases in the top 3 jumped 851% in 7 months. Successful SEO turns positions into real search traffic and qualified leads.

What is an SEO Strategy - and why is SEO important?

An SEO strategy is more than a list of keywords. Think comprehensive, step-by-step SEO elements that help search engines and users:

  • ✔ Analysis of the current situation and basic SEO health,
  • ✔ Competitor and SERP research to learn from websites that are ranking,
  • ✔ Site structure and information architecture (how content on your website is organized),
  • ✔ Technical SEO and on-page SEO improvements,
  • ✔ A content strategy and a plan to create SEO content that matches search intent,
  • ✔ Off-page SEO with smart link building and outreach,
  • ✔ Performance monitoring in Google Search Console and analytics tools.

Why is this SEO important? Over 90% of people and search engines activity flows through Google, and the top three positions capture nearly 69% of all clicks

📢 Comprehensive SEO approach: AI & Omnichannel

Appearing in search results (especially high on the search engine results pages) dramatically increases the odds that your ideal customers will find you. In 2025, the new search experience (including AI Overviews) means your site’s SEO must be aligned to how people search and how search engines understand content. We also take an omnichannel approach. Use SEO to support consistent digital marketing across content marketing, social, and paid campaigns so your brand shows up from discovery to decision.

What does our SEO Strategy include?

Before we act, we align on outcomes: conversions, safe expansion, or market leadership. Then we design SEO strategies that make sense for your business.

Every company’s goals differ, whether you're launching a product, expanding internationally, rebuilding a central blog, or improving brand perception.

🌍 On-Page SEO Essentials (Rank Higher with Search Intent)

On-page SEO connects your pages to search terms and search intent:

  • ✔ Title tags, H1–H3, and meta description tuned to target keyword themes,

  • ✔ Content refreshes where search quality and relevance have slipped,
  • ✔ Schema markup to help search engines understand entities and context,
  • ✔ Clear CTAs and UX patterns to improve user experience and conversions.

These are the steps you should take right now: map each page on your website to a primary keyword, add supporting terms based on keyword research, and ensure headings reflect the topic users expect when they land from Google Search.
