Local SEO and Content
Routinely posting relevant and useful content like blog posts, social media posts, and customer testimonials is still the number one way to:
Attract people to your website.
Get your site noticed by search engines like Google.
To keep information relevant, you need to constantly update and add to it, so your audience has a reason to keep coming back. Whether you
want people to visit your eCommerce website, physical retail location, or both, high-quality content is the way to play.
Relevant Keywords
Keywords are a driving force behind online searches and essential to search engine optimization. Like everything else in digital marketing,
the use of keywords in SEO continues to evolve. Keyword research has changed dramatically over the past decade. We’ve gone from keyword
stuffing, which is now considered spam, to researching keywords that get a website ranked well in organic searches. An SEO expert uses
keyword research to understand a potential customer’s intent because Google is focused on providing its users with the best results
to their query. When you fulfill your customers’ needs, you’re also helping Google rank you better.
Link Building
While some argue they’re not as important as they once were, many SEO experts believe backlinks are still a crucial part of Google’s
PageRank algorithm. Search engines like Google love authority websites. One of the best ways to signal authority to Google is with the
number of links your site has from other trustworthy sites.
Website pages can rank without multiple backlinks, but that’s usually after the site has already established its authority. For example,
when a major news site like Forbes puts up a story, it will often rank on the first page without any direct links.
The better your site’s SEO performance, the more links you’ll acquire through content creation, reviews, and partners. Internal link
building is also effective, as it creates website structure and helps Google index your site’s pages.
