What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
SEO combines many factors but one of the major ways you can move your website listing higher in search engines like Google is through quality content with the right keywords and phrases. First some research needs to be conducted to figure out how your target audience would most likely search to find you. Once you know the right keywords and phrases these should be integrated into your website content in a way that reads easily for your prospects but is repeated enough (but not too much) for the search engines to see that those keywords are indeed the focus of your website.

What else can you do to improve your SEO and Google PageRank?
Having links to your website from other sites in your industry or trusted sources can be great, especially if the links to your website contain the keywords that you want be relevant on, this can include business listing with a Chamber of Commerce, Vendor Websites, Industry Organization Websites, and so on. It is important to list your business with Google and the other major search engines. Check out our blog article on making sure your business is listed on Google. It is also critical to have some sort of presence on social media, especially Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ with links to your website on your company profiles and on content you share through social media (also integrating those keywords).

PeekatInfo400While many small businesses do not have the budget necessary to fully optimize their website on a continual basis, there are many strategies and options available to help you compete and be found more easily. When we design a website for a client we make sure we make the website search engine friendly so the important elements of the site are not hidden from the search engine (for example your tagline or benefits added as part of a graphic where the search engines don’t see the most important keywords.) Another solution we have implemented for many clients are landing pages. SEO Landing pages are usually 1-3 page websites specifically focused on a few specific keywords and phrases to help improve your results in that area. These could be for a particular product, location, target audience, or whatever we decide together would bring in the most profitable leads. They link back to your main website to further help your SEO for that website as well.
