SEO FOR CYBERSECURITY: WHAT IS IT AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

In a niche that’s dominated by a key reliance on trust and expertise, cybersecurity relies heavily on not only having a strong brand and good quality content, it also relies heavily on demonstrating knowledge in a well thought out and articulated manner for potential clients.

Cybersecurity is a high-stakes niche, therefore any business looking for an SEO solution is going to want to work with a company that follows ethical white-hat processes to enhance brand trust and content value/helpfulness.

Cybersecurity SEO is important primarily because:

PPC in this niche can be expensive & cost per leads can soon mount up
AI Overviews are eating into click and enquiry opportunities - therefore being above traditional search results and map pack listings is now crucial
More visibility = more enquiries & leads from stakeholders, CEOs and decision makers
Compounding growth - SEO offers compounding growth over time that’s less dictated by spend expansion
Higher conversion intent - a strong SEO campaign helps to support conversion intent as higher ranked results tend to be more trusted

SEO for cybersecurity is the process of:

Analysing and auditing - looking at google search console and google analytics data to assess pre-existing traffic, keyword data, performance data, indexing performance. The analysis is then followed by an SEO audit to establish SEO issues and key fixes required
Optimising - ensuring that pages are optimised both visually, structurally and from a content and end user perspective - maximise conversion potential, maximise helpful content, utilise on page SEO, structured data
Strategising - this involves competitor analysis, content gap analysis, content strategy development & planning out what content needs revamping vs new content i.e. do you have comprehensive coverage of security services & assessments, MDR, pen testing, vulnerability management, managed security services, MDR, incident response, managed infrastructure defence etc.
Enhancing - so building trust in the brand, this equates to link earning, link building, digital PR, getting links to the brand from trusted and relevant media outlets, publications and leveraging niche edits, guest post, HARO, content distribution, content pitching, link reclamation and more to really strengthen trust in the brand and domain
Engaging - so this involves heatmapping, click mapping, user behaviour analysis, scroll depth analysis and looking at how people interact with your cybersecurity content / services

Each SEO strategy is tailored, taking into consideration pre-existing site/brand performance as well as targets/priorities/goals.

Some of the strategic approaches we take include:

Providing higher quality cybersecurity content than competitors by creating detailed content briefs, allowing highly skilled writers to produce the content & then to integrate it in a way that’s visually pleasing and engaging - we go beyond the obvious, we add value to content that doesn’t already exist
Restructuring / breaking up Cybersecurity services to expand service coverage and to prevent or mitigate and pre-existing cannibalisation
Producing informational content to support “potential” clients on their consideration phase, including how to’s, why’s, detailed cybersecurity reports, studies, public incidents, protection strategies
Producing and distributing thought leadership content around the IT sector to build brand trust and visibility

HOW MUCH DOES CYBERSECURITY SEO COST?

This is a broad question, it really depends on the size of the business, the pre-existing organic state, the businesses targets and objectives. We can provide some cost guidance however - typical costs look like:

Smaller IT companies / tech security companies - £2k-£3k a month
Medium sized cyber security companies - £3k - £5k a month
Larger cyber security firms - £5k-£15k a month
Enterprise security firms - £15k + a month

We offer a free no obligation SEO quotation for potential clients.

HOW LONG DOES CYBERSECURITY SEO TAKE?

It varies, again, it’s hugely dependent on a number of factors such as your pre-existing organic performance, speed of approvals and implementation/execution and budget. We generally advise clients to look at results over a 6-12 month basis.

This is generally because a lot of leg work isn’t always taken into consideration by Google straight away, there’s also the fact that Google updates can be months apart, sometimes it requires a core update for recognition to be achieved.

There’s also business logistics - so it’s how quickly does content go through approval, how quickly are fixes implemented etc.

Some clients see results in the first 3-6 months, some longer, it’s really dependent. We can give you a rough assessment prior to commencement of SEO if we’re provided with google search console access.

We worked on an SEO audit to identify their sub-domain configuration and to help them address issues around parameterisation amongst other issues pertaining to content, links and on-page SEO factors.

We helped Snyk to grow their organic traffic profile, to consolidate some of the sub domains and to improve indexing efficiency.
