SEO Guide Recap
What are Keywords?
Keywords and phrases are pieces of information that show search engines what your page or website is about. The more you optimize your page for this keyword, the better you’ll rank for it when people search for it on SE’s like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. They can display your page on search quires using that keyword or phrase.
Beginning Keyword Research
You should start by building a list of keywords that work well with your topic. Whether you’re writing a blog or the homepage for your fashion store, you need to do the research for the items you’re selling or the topic you’re covering.
Choosing Attractive Keywords
Even after you’ve found some of the best performing keywords for your niche, you may want to take a different approach if you have a lot of competition. This is especially true if your competition is popular or has a lot of money to throw around.
Building Your Site for SEO
Having a solid foundation is one of the best ways to start your website. The problem is knowing exactly what you should do when building your site.
Local SEO Tips
Ranking on search queries is the lock and SEO is the key. There are multiple ways you can rank your website on search results but the best way is through Google. Google and other search engines are the answer to many of your SEO woes. When you gain authority from these titans of the digital world then you can become the dominant force in your industry.
Writing Meta Descriptions
When you search for something online, you get a list of relevant sites to help you with your needs. Meta descriptions are the little synopsis’s that illustrate what the page is about. You create expectations when you write your Meta descriptions that can generate a positive experience for users. That’s why it’s important to write them a certain way.
3 SEO Concepts to Master
- Keywords
- Keyword Distance and Relationships
- Entity Relationship
Readability
Can your audience understand you? Is it engaging to them? Do the words flow when you read it aloud? One of the biggest problems businesses have with their content is the readability or lack of it.
Content Optimization
Content is king and that means you have to treat it like a king if you expect your customers to respect its authority. Many companies are scrambling to replace their preexisting content because it’s stuffed with keywords (keyword Stuffing) and outdated method of SEO that Google actually punishes you for. It may seem daunting, but if you’re creating a website from scratch then you have the advantage of starting with quality material. You just need to know a few things going into the process if you want to maximize the effect of your efforts.
5 Valuable Tools for SEO
Content writers are always looking for tools that are free and easy to use. Having an editor, these days, has become a luxury. At WebCroppers, we pride ourselves on our grassroots approach to marketing and thought we’d share the 5 Tools for Editing Content that are easy to use, free, and can be incorporated for businesses small or large.
Avoiding Bad Content
At WebCroppers, we always say “Content is king,” but what does that mean? Is it enough to write about a topic centering on the keyword you need to focus on? Can Google and other search engines pick up on bad content? Now, when we say “bad content” we don’t mean the poetic depth of your prose or the entertainment value of your topic. What we’re talking about is relevancy. Is your content relevant and does it provide valuable information to people that are interested in that specific topic? You can write an article about boxes and it’ll probably be boring. However, if your article provides valuable information to people that are interested in boxes and has a certain depth to it, then you have some quality content for your niche.
