Search Engine Optimization – Key to Marketing Success
Virtual IT has rolled out a new service for all of our website clients: Search Engine Optimization. Our main goal is to improve your search engine page ranking. There are many onsite and offsite modifications that need to take place in order to make your website more search engine friendly. It is important to remember that you are not the only fish in the sea, but doing everything you can the right way may push you head and shoulders above your competition.
Everyone knows about Meta Tags, but do they know how to effectively utilize these road maps on your website? What is a description tag for? Explaining what will be found on a certain page. Many times slack webmasters make the mistake of cutting and pasting the same description for every page in the entire site. This does the crawlers no good if they can’t differentiate between any two pages on a website. That would be considered lazy coding of a website. Taking the time to go through and clean up your meta tags can help get your pages noticed more often by search crawlers. It is the same principle with the keyword tag, you don’t want to plaster 100 keywords and variations all over your code either. More often than not, if you get specific on less keywords, your search returns will be more effective.
What about my page headings? This brings to mind the saying that content is key. The content of your web page, including the heading, the verbiage in your paragraphs, and all subsequent subheadings are what the search crawlers are looking for. They want to see if your website has relevant information pertaining to what you are touting in your meta tags. Inserting keywords into your content helps tremendously. Your website better talk about what your target audience is looking for. If I am looking for a page that will tell me about aftermarket exhaust for my corvette, but I get there and it talks about ponies instead, I am never coming back to that site again. (Unless I feel the need to share the audacity with my fellow developers for a good afternoon laugh.) Having plenty of keywords and associated terms on your page shows that you supposedly know what you are talking about, and may be a good resource for the future. It’s important to remember though, that you should always write your content towards your target audience, not the search crawlers. If you need help filling your pages with keywords and content, our website content writer can provide professional writing services for you.
There are many offsite methods that will be used to drive traffic to your site as well. External links coming into your site bode well for site rankings, as long as they are from a well known, credible source. Does your company blog? Do you write for industry wide publications? How about industry directory listings? All these things and more combine to increase your page ranking, drive in more traffic, and make your website easier to search and index. Contact Virtual IT today and see how we can optimize your website for you by clicking on this link. Don’t have a website? We provide Web Design and Development as well. Contact us today.
