Who Is Blue Tide Marketing?

Blue Tide is passionate about the Internet and we are constantly pushing to evolve the way it serves our clients.  

A left brained SEO and a right brained Designer with 30+ years experience between us.

• Together for 16 years
• Married for 11 years
• Working together for 8 years
• Still haven’t killed each other 😉

Our focus is giving clients the “Best in Class” website look and functionality mixed with an innovative approach to SEO that saves clients money.

Search is at the center of how people and businesses engage with the web. Search is the ultimate test of survival of the fittest. To stay relevant, trusted and used, a search engine must deliver robust, accurate results that answer the searcher’s query.

For a business, search is the ultimate proving ground of ideas, value and merit. The online world benefits those businesses that honor a client centered approach ­ The “good guys​”. For us it’s an honor to help businesses build a dominant position online through the development of great content and great engagement. Online the good guys ​do finish first and we are privileged to help them do it.

Optimization Strategy

We use a comprehensive approach to increase your rankings for both high volume generic searches and longer phrase (long tail) searches that indicate more intent. At the end of the day you are looking for more targeted visitors that actually convert and sign up. This is the best approach to get those online searchers at both the beginning and end of their search while leveraging the search volume within each category niche.

To get there we will create a number of new pages, optimize titles, optimize content and images, and build extensive themed links to your target pages.

Search Engine Optimization Overview

The package we suggest will be a custom tailored campaign based on the needs of your site​. We will create appropriate landing pages, integrate on­ page changes, build extensive natural links to the target pages, manually editing / optimization of existing content with a best practices process built for ongoing content publishing and integrate a passive social campaign through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube social media accounts.

Content Creation and Link Building

Content is King – there is nothing better for SEO than well written and optimized content. It generates links on its own and makes your site relevant to the search engine for the topics we are targeting.  We use a balance of well ­developed blogs, related sites, infographics, press releases, industry guest posting, manual citation building and social promotion to garner relevant quality links back to your website.

Because link building has changed so much in the last few years we have continuously retrained to ensure our methods are up to date. Partial match signaling, domain quality and variation are all becoming much more important than the exact match linking of 2009­ – 2014. As Google struggles to keep irrelevant or gamed content pushed down in its index it has made substantial changes to the value it places on different types of links. We build natural, well balanced link profiles to ensure solid rankings with a hedge against changes.

Content Creation &  Marketing

Content creation is now more important than ever in SEO and online marketing. Google’s search algorithms are now advanced enough to identify and reward original, fresh and high-quality content. The more professional, on-brand content your website produces, the more traffic it will attract from Google as a result.

The idea is to create a diverse set of content assets that will be used in strategic Internet locations for more reach.

Blue Tide will help you develop content through the interview process below:

Research – industry & competing info sources

Audience – persona development

Brand Guide – Development of a 1 page outline to guide writing & imagery tone

Keyword mapping – Identification of keywords that the site is campaigning for and other terms with a strong degree of relevance to those keywords.

Extensively research keyword phrases, and identify and analyze popular keywords for your website that are most relevant to your specific market demographics that could drive targeted traffic

Review the site’s pages and decided which ones are best for SEO

Work with you to choose which keyword phrases belong on which pages of your site based upon what you know about your product, service or brand

• Content Brainstorming Sessions – Taking the mapped keywords and creating topics out of keywords that will serve as the basis for the content interviews. We will focus efforts on creating timeless or “evergreen” content which will receive traffic for years.

• Editorial Calendar Creation – Identification, prioritization and plotting of content to be published. Interview campaign to produce 8 news updates (blogs) per month

• Audio Interviews – The audio interview is done by our in-house interviewer and the resulting podcast is ready for sharing to multiple audio podcast platforms including Soundcloud & Apple.  Its also embedded as an audio widget in the content posts.

• The recording is also transcribed to text and optimized as a set of site articles.  

• Dedicated SEO Editor to refine, optimize & publish content

• Content will include license free images to support the content

• Content will be fully SEO optimized from meta to content to authority outlinking

• Content stretching – Taking the essence of the content and using it to produce more than just articles, such as PDF’s, podcasts, SlideShare decks etc.

Content Marketing Promotion

Content will serve no traffic and SEO benefits if it only sits in the website and goes unnoticed. To gain valuable, natural backlinks, incremental click-through traffic and brand recognition, the content has to go through a promotion process.

Below are the ways in which we will distribute and popularize your content online:

• Content will be passively shared through social profiles & as part of outreach Guest posting in relevant blogs
• Press release distribution via newswires
• Posting of decks in SlideShare
• Posting of PDF’s
• Sharing of audio on SoundCloud & Apple
• Using outside interviews to gain inbound links by sharing an optimized summary to post

Network For Link Building & Content Collaborations

We will look to share efforts to create interview content by interviewing outside industry professionals (related experts).  The interview process used internally is modified to create 2 pieces of content.  The first, the recording, will be used on your websites and a professionally written summary of the interview will be provided for posting to the industry professionals website – with link back to our posting. One outside interview per month would be ideal.  We will work with you to ideal candidates and then handle the outreach.

Link Building & Outreach

• Build Up the Link Profile – Inbound links from relevant, high quality websites will help maximize the website’s ranking potential. Blue Tide will use a variety of tactics to encourage authority sites to link to porticonetwork.ca website pages.

• Citation building – a group of industry specific and general directory sites are used to generate and confirm NAP data for Google and other data providers.  Clean, consistent citations at a volume higher than your competitors will deliver solid rankings – a time proven technique.

• SEO Outreach – Identification & Outreach to relevant authority websites (high profile industry sites).  We will identify ideal link placement targets, prioritize them and use our outreach process to gain guest posting opportunities.  Blue Tide will produce approved content for the authority website that includes a relevant, well placed link back to your company’s website pages.

• Capitalize on Video, Audio and Slideshows – Text content and link building are not enough to guarantee success in today’s search engine optimization landscape. Google’s algorithms tend to reward websites that look like legitimate brands and rich media is a good way to capitalize on this. Posting YouTube videos and SlideShare presentations is a great way to expand brand awareness and attract more visitors to the website.
