1. Content

No matter what business you are in, you want to make sure that you have fresh, relevant, and up-to-date content on your site. This means that you have precise descriptions of your industry, your products, or whatever you are trying to rank for on search engines. 

Wondering how you can give your content a boost? Try blogging! Blogs are great for SEO, as you can choose a topic to focus in on and create new content to help build up your website. Wondering what to write about? This brings us to our next tip, keywords!

2. Keywords

Keywords are extremely important when it comes to SEO. So, what is a keyword? A keyword is what people like you are typing into the search engine they are using. For example, what did you type to get to this site? Perhaps, SEO Optimization, SEO Tips, or SEO Optimization Tips. This is a keyword! 

There are plenty of helpful tools online to take the guesswork out of using the right keyword. Or, if you are just beginning, you can take an educated guess on what people are most likely to search to find you. 

3. Know Your Customer

Knowing your customer is an essential SEO step. This means you know the type of person you are trying to attract to your website. As an example, let’s use a local dermatologist’s office. If you work for them, you want to attract people who are looking for help with their skin. Thinking about things this way helps you identify your target market. Keywords that are relevant to skin care, skin cancer, or tattoo removal, are what you want to think of. 

Once you identify your target markets, put yourself into the consumer’s shoes and think about what they would search to find you. The phrases and words you come up with are your keywords!
