Don’t Over Optimize Your Site!There is a lot of free information on SEO online.
That is great, however, 99% of it is outdated and will land you in the Google crapper if you follow it. Over optimizing your site, whether it is on page or off page is a HUGE no no, and is a
sure fire way to get your site penalized by Google. What do I mean by over optimizing? In a nutshell, don’t force things you want to rank for anywhere on your site, especially in
your URL or Site Title. Just don’t do anything that Google could view as unnatural.
Create a Blog on Your WebsiteThere are a lot of benefits to adding a blog and
creating content on a regular basis. Create a blog based on your business and keep
updating. Share the tips and tricks to get better user engagement with your blog
website and business also help to getting increase sales
Get SocialMost of us are already on sites like Facebook and
Twitter. Google loves seeing links shared from these website, and if you can get some traffic coming to
your site from social properties like this, Google will love that. It’s easy, create a Facebook business
page, as well as a Twitter account specifically for your business. This post is not going to dive deep
into marketing on those platforms, but if you can get a little interaction going, and share the content you create, as well as other offers and specials you are running Google will like seeing that. Share your
links often on as many social sites as you can.
Google My Business.Have you noticed how when you search for a local
service online, you see those 3 lucky businesses that are shown in the Google Maps section? Well, it actually isn’t luck that they are there, and being there is absolutely somewhere you should want to
be! You must claim your business and set up a free Google My Business listing. After verifying
your listing, you will want to add as much information about your business as they allow. Add a bunch of images, and if you can, save the file as different keywords that are related to your niche
CitationsWait… What the heck are citations? Citations are
web 2.0 properties. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, FourSquare, YellowPages, HotFrog, and many more are all great places to add your business to. A
few things to keep in mind when getting these citations are, citations provide powerful and safe backlinks to our website, The links are nofollow,
but carry a lot of weight in Google. Those citations also help boost the rankings of our Google My
Business listing. The more citations you have filled out, and filled out properly the better the chance of
your business showing up in the maps listings.
