Executive Summary

Understanding SEO and Its Importance

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, aligns your content with what search engines value and what your audience seeks.
TMA starts with a substantial advantage: DATA. Your Amazon campaigns are already tracked by our custom-built software, giving you an unfair advantage you can now apply to Google.
We use this in-house data to create targeted content that satisfies Search Intent. Search Intent is what users are actively looking for when they type a query.
Matching your content to this intent raises your appearance in search results, which drives page traffic, brand awareness, and new customers.

 

The Stages of the SEO Funnel
