If we’ve learned nothing else from 2020, it is that consumers expect to be able to interact with you virtually. From our groceries to our classes to our bicycle bootcamps, everything is now available to us at home, anytime, via our devices. While this makes customers’ lives easier, it also means that brands and businesses now have to fight even harder for attention.
Listen in as Danielle offers her best tips and tricks to add more oomph to your website and cut through the noise.
3 MAJOR POINTS DISCUSSED
- SEO is nowhere near as hard as it may seem. SEO is made up of the strategies you can use to connect with your ideal customers through your website. At the end of the day, it all comes down to figuring out what people are already searching for online related to your specialty and creating content that serves those wants and needs.
- Anyone with a website needs to utilize Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Analytics will show you where traffic is coming from (ex. organic/paid search, social media links, etc.) and what visitors are doing on your website (ex. pages/links clicked, time spent on different pages, etc.). Search Console specifically shows you how your website is performing on search engines. That is, it shows which keywords your website is ranking for and which positions they are ranking for.
- Start by getting clear on who exactly you’re trying to reach. Before even doing your keyword research, you need to be crystal clear on who your ideal client or audience is. This is the foundation for everything else. For example, if you work specifically with local business owners, creating content on driving hundreds of thousands of views to your service is an SEO strategy; but it’s just not the right one for you.
