Search Engine Optimization (SEO):
Now that you have a website how do you make sure it is
found by the right audience on the world wide web?
Make your website work for you with Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
There are many factors
that can improve the visibility of your website.
Some of those factors include Search Engine Submission, Meta Tags, Keywords / phrases,
website traffic, and well placed links on your site & others.
Traffic can supercede the shortcomings of the other factors if you can attract many
visitors in other ways.
How can you draw more traffic to your site?
- Post a lot of relevant information and keep it updated regularly.
Believe it or not people go to the web for information much more often than they
go to shop for a specific item.
Most consumers like to be well educated before a purchase and need relevant information
to complete their product research.
The younger generations have a dependancy on the web for nearly all their information
most are only vaguely aware of the concept of a phone book or newspaper these days.
- Consider using a blog.
A good blog can show more of a personal side of a company or individual, helping
to foster a connection with the reader.
Pack the blog with good relevant information on a regular basis (every few days)
to keep people coming back.
Consider allowing regular employees to post blogs to your site and not just the
executive management, often the behind the scenes employees can appeal more to the
average reader than exec only blogs. Always make sure to lay some ground rules for
blogging though. Remember once its posted there is no taking it back. Always make
sure to keep the subject matter relevant and factual to your goals; try to avoid
too many or controversial opinions / commentary.
- Push your webaddress on all promotional materials, in conversation, your email signature
and everywhere you can think of.
Visibility is a must have. If that website address is right there in plain view
customers are apt to followup by perusing the website.
- Entice users to visit the site.
If you can find a way to leave a cliffhanger forcing people to visit the site you
will pique their interest to do so.
This can be anything from a tv commerical, to a statement that discounts are available
online.
If it fits your business model to deliver services over the web even if it is just
bill payment or order status having a log in application that customers visit regularly
will help drive traffic to the site.
