Crunchy Links Wins Top Fintech PPC and SEO Agency at Fintech Awards 2022!
Take the right approach to SEO for the finance industry
SEO for financial services is a different beast. According to Google, any page that could have an impact on the user’s current or future well-being (health, financial, safety, etc.) is vetted more carefully for expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (“EAT” in the SEO world). Financial services websites, including those covering banking, investment, insurance, and personal finance fall under the “Your Money, Your Life” umbrella.

Our recipe for success
1.
Search Engine Access
Strong (and fast) performance of your website is vital to driving organic traffic from SEO. The first step? Making sure search engines can access every page you want on your website. (If Google can’t get to your web page, it can’t feature it).
2.
Search Engine Indexing
Once search engines get to your page, can they read the content on it? You’d be surprised how many website builders don’t take this into consideration. Client side vs. server side rendering, schema, internal linking, and frontend code all play a role.
3.
Search Engine Authority
Subject mater experts are pivotal for SEO for financial services. This is where “EAT” comes in. All content needs to be created by an authoritative and trustworthy source. PRO TIP: If you’re creating blog content, make sure you have an author page with bonafides (resume, experience, etc.)
4.
Search Engine Popularity
You’ve probably heard about link building. Here’s the inside secret – a lot of the “slick oil salesman” reputation SEO gets comes from link building schemes. The good news? Link building can be done naturally – a good PR firm, incredibly useful content, and some social media management will take care of this for you. Our goal at Crunchy Links is to make sure you have a healthy backlink profile. We don’t actively build links.
