Content Is SEO Friendly

5 Tips To Ensure Your Content Is SEO Friendly

The word ‘content’ gets spoken about a lot when SEO is discussed, and whilst it may seem easy to create content, that is actually the reason that many website owners see no positive results from the content they are creating.

The reason this happens is that merely creating content is not enough to impact on rankings. It also needs to be created in a certain way, and there are several ways that you can enhance its effectiveness.

Make It Worth Reading

One of the biggest errors made with regards to content is that it is created for the search engines and not the people who will actually be reading it.

if visitors to your website find your content interesting, they will stay longer, they are more likely to visit other pages, and there is a better chance of them returning another time. All of these are noted by Google, and more importantly they feed into your ranking score.

Make it Sharable

Do you ever recommend a great movie or book to your friends or family? We all do it, and if your content is unique and really captures the attention of someone reading it, there is a greater chance they will share it with others.

You can encourage this sharing by adding a ‘PS’ at the end of blog posts inviting readers to share them. This could mean that they post a link to your content on their own website which helps your SEO, and there is also the added benefit that those links will bring visitors to your website who click on them.

Simple On Page SEO Tactics

On-Page SEOOf all the vast number of elements within SEO which exist, the ones you have the most control over are those which pertain to your own website. This is often overlooked as business owners head out into the internet seeking to create backlinks from every conceivable location.

However, if they focused closer to home, they could give their SEO a boost simply by implementing a few simple tactics which can help rankings and in turn increase traffic.

The first needs to be done before the website exists, and that is to obtain an optimal domain name. Always go for a dot com if it is still available, and if it isn’t, try dot net or dot org.  If your business is only going to target within your own country then a country extension such as .au for Australia or, .co.uk for the United Kingdom is perfect.

Still with domains, it is always best to have a domain that matches the keywords you want to target. Google has reduced the power that an exact match domain gives your site, but testing shows it is still a positive in terms of your website’s SEO.

Next, we come to the title of your website, which is the text people can see at the top of their browser when they land on your site. Google’s algorithm reads the title of sites as part of their understanding of what it is about so placing one or two important keywords in your title is always recommended. For example, if your company sells accounting software the title could be ‘Domainname.com – Accounting software for Small Business’.

YouTube Videos

Optimising Your YouTube Videos Effectively

Although using video for content and as part of your SEO strategy is not essential, if you do use it, what is essential is optimising it properly, otherwise, all your efforts are wasted. What this means is simply creating videos and posting them on your website, or major video search engines like YouTube is not enough. You need to do it strategically and effectively.

We mention YouTube because not only are they the largest video site online, they are the second largest search engine of any type, after Google. The latter of those facts takes on even greater significance when you consider that YouTube is owned by Google. This should make it clear that if you want your videos to help boost the SEO and ranking of your website, YouTube is the place to focus on.

The first thing you need to do is the same as you would when considering creating any type of content, and that is keyword research. The easiest way to do this is with keyword research tools that will provide you with a plethora of keywords and keyword phrases.

A further tactic to employ in relation to keywords is to analyse those videos which your competitors have already posted on YouTube. One way to do so is by installing a browser plugin which will produce a list of all the video tags, aka keywords, that any competitor video on YouTube is being optimised for.

Removalist Website

Should I Write Regular Blog Posts For My Removalist Website?

Websites are essential in the modern world of business. If you don’t have a website for your small business, the chances are that you’re missing out on a significant amount of potential business. Websites are especially important for people who rely on regular new customers.

However, there’s no point creating a website that no one can find. It’s therefore important to do whatever you can to make sure that your removalist company’s website appears high in the Google search results for relevant search terms.

Creating regular blog articles for your removalist website is one of the best ways to drive new traffic from both social sources and search engines. Here’s why:

High Quality Content Will Rank Well

The key to achieving a high local search engine ranking is creating high quality, keyword optimised content. Sure, you should definitely write a blog every week (or even more often), but it’s actually not this simple. The first thing you should do is spend a bit of time researching the types of keywords or phrases people use when they’re looking for a removalist in your area.

Once you’ve identified important keywords, you need to work them into your content in a natural sounding, free flowing manner. Don’t stuff keywords where they don’t belong, because Google has started to value content that brings value to the reader more than content that is full of irrelevant keywords.

Search Engine Rankings

4 Tips For Improving Your Search Engine Rankings

The online space is extremely competitive regarding family lawyers and law firm marketing. Some family law firms are willing to pay hundreds of dollars per lead in the hope of landing new high-paying clients. This can leave smaller firms that don’t have the same marketing budget with few digital marketing options.

This is where search engine optimisation (SEO) comes in useful. SEO is one of online law’s most underutilised, underrated digital marketing techniques. It involves web designers optimising your website so that you appear high in the organic search rankings for keywords and phrases relevant to your services. If they work smart, small firms can compete with big firms in terms of SEO without exceeding their comfortable marketing budget.

Here are 4 tips to help you get started:

  1. Focus On Creating High-Quality Content, Rather Than A Lot Of Content

You’ve probably been told or heard someone say that ‘content is key’ regarding SEO. This isn’t quite true. All content may have been seen as equal by the search engines in the past, but this has changed in recent years.

Now, search engines like Google can identify and differentiate between high-quality content that brings value to the reader and poor-quality content that offers little. They will give preference to sites that bring value, which means that high-quality content is essential.

  1. Break Up Your Content

Using header tags and images can help search engines identify the subject of your content. Make sure that you include keywords in at least some of your headers, and make sure that you use alt tags to describe your images. Headers and images can also help break up your content, making it easier to skim and improving the user experience.

SEO Expert For Your Law Firm

Why Should You Employ a SEO Expert For Your Law Firm?

Search engine optimisation, or SEO, is essential for any business that wants to be successful in the online space. If you run a law firm such as Lawyers Perth or otherwise employ a team of lawyers, you need to make sure that you’re doing everything you can to rank highly on the search engine results pages for relevant keywords.

For example, if someone in your area searches for ‘criminal lawyers in [your city] ’, then you want your website to appear at the top of the search results. Making this happen requires a lot of time, effort, and SEO experience. This means that you should consider employing an SEO expert for your law firm, as they will have the knowledge and experience required to make sure that you rank highly.

Some of the other benefits associated with using a SEO expert include:

They Will Know What They’re Doing

Trying to optimise your website on your own can work, but it will take you hours of research to build even a basic knowledge of SEO. On the other hand, SEO experts with proven experience will know exactly what they’re doing and how to get the best results. They will have the skills required to boost your site’s rankings, and they should be able to make you appear within the top couple of results for a range of keywords.

Note that you should be very careful when you’re choosing an ‘expert’, as a lot of people who claim to have experience don’t have any more SEO knowledge than you or me. Find someone who has a proven track record, who can back up any claims about their knowledge and experience, and who can provide references from previous or existing clients.

SEO Levels

Why SEO Levels The Playing Field for Small Businesses

One of the biggest positives of SEO is it gives small businesses the opportunity to compete with larger businesses in terms of search engine rankings. It will often be the case that a specific keyword phrase that a small business has optimized for, will have been forgotten by a giant within that industry, and the smaller one appears higher in the ranking for that search.

One of the biggest levellers is no matter how small your budget is you can still optimise your website because SEO is very cost effective. Naturally, the big players will have huge marketing budgets, but the vast majority of that budget will be in relation to paid advertising, both offline and on.

When it comes to SEO, the majority of the tasks that need to be undertaken can be learned for little or no cost, and the actions thereafter require very little in the way of a budget. You might hire someone to write content or to do some research in terms back-linking opportunities, but you could just as easily do these yourself. The cost now is your time instead of money, but for many small business owners, this is the way it must be done until their revenue reaches a certain level.

The opportunities that local SEO offers for smaller local businesses is huge, and this has increased greatly, due to some of the changes Google has made to its ranking algorithms. Its Hummingbird update gave local businesses a ranking boost if they had certain factors optimized on their website such as name, address and telephone numbers. Being listed in local directories is also seen by Google as a positive.

A large, nationwide business is likely to target mostly broad, generic keywords and generally not concern themselves with the location of the person searching. By targeting and optimising for keywords which also include local cities, towns, districts and boroughs, small businesses who only wish to target local customers will often outrank these huge household names.
