Ready for more? Just read on.
Use Keywords on Your Website, but Don’t Keyword Stuff
Google will know.
Start by doing some keyword research and find out what your ideal visitor or customer is looking for. Work those keywords into the important pages on your website, and then, when someone performs a search, your business will be much more likely to show up in the results.
To start, you can place these keywords in the following places on your website:
- The title of the page
- The meta description
- In the H1, H2, and H3 tags
- The URL
- Hyperlinks to other pages on your website
This way, you’ll be able to ensure that Google picks up on your on-page SEO efforts and you can reap the benefits of them.
However, if you use irrelevant keywords or stuff pages with too many keywords, Google will pick up on that. Just don’t do it.
Create a Google Plus Page
We know what you’re thinking. “No one even uses that, do they?”
In this case, your Google+ page won’t be used for networking or keeping in touch with friends.
Linking your personal Google+ page to your business is one of the easiest (and most helpful) SEO tricks we’ve been lucky enough to encounter. Why?
When you set up your page the same way you would your LinkedIn profile (professional headshot and all) and add yourself as a “Contributor to” your business’ website, your photo will show up next to all of your search engine results.
Meaning, you can get more clicks and traffic to your website without investing so much as a penny.
Encourage Customers to Leave Reviews
One of the easiest ways to ramp up your local and global SEO game is by featuring positive reviews on your Google My Business page, Facebook, and website.
In fact, the more positive reviews your business has, the higher you’re going to rank.
And it doesn’t take much! Even 5 or so positive reviews will boost the ranking of your website.
Start encouraging satisfied customers to leave reviews about their experience, and you’ll be seeing positive results faster than you can blink.
