Welcome to the CEO Corner. Join us as we offer up important SEO tips, tricks, and best practices direct from the mind of the SEOInc.com CEO, Garry Grant.
Make a New Year’s <ReSEOlution>
If you made a New Year’s resolution this year, chances are you’ve chosen to work on you. Whether self-improvement, getting fit, or generally living a healthier lifestyle, you’ve taken a look in the mirror and decided to step it up a notch. And that’s great. Never too late to start living well, is it? While you focus on your body and mind, take a minute to consider your website’s health too. After all, you and your site are not as different as you may think.
You don’t just hop into a set of running shoes and beat Usain Bolt to a footrace. And you can’t just say, “I want good SEO,” and you got it. SEO is your site’s metabolism, strength, durability, and awareness all wrapped into one. But it needs to be worked out so your site can perform at record highs.
Make a <reSEOlution> with our SEO routine.
Recognize the Issue
Sorry to say this, but your site is out of shape and needs a little work.
Not to worry. It’s fixable.
Set Your Goal
The answer to most of these questions should be, “yes.” And that’s good. It’s not lofty. It’s realistic.
Develop Your Routine
Luckily, there are resources for you. Much like a personal trainer will help you sculpt your bod and finish the race, an SEO expert can help get your website to the top.
Get to it
Decent keywords? Check. Relatively good content? Check. A few regular visitors? Check. Decent search engine rankings for a couple of different, specialized terms? Check.
When you work out your SEO, you’ll start to see these features of your site come alive. But it’s in taking the next steps; working those strengths, honing your keywords, which the true test of a champion occurs.
Keep At It
Set a PR and Keep Going
… Now put down the champagne and get back to work.
It might seem like there’s an end to the SEO building, but in all honesty, it is never over. With the ever-changing search engine algorithms and more competitor sites popping up, you have to stay on top of your game now more than ever.
In the coming weeks we’ll go into detail on topics from Structured Data to Custom 404 Pages and much more.
