SEO Richmond — Help for Richmond Business Owners

Leave a reply

Is your blog just sitting pretty in cyberspace? Here are some tips on how to optimize your site for Richmond. SEO can make a big difference.

What is SEO?

SEO is short for search engine optimization. The idea is that you have your website optimized in a way that gives it the best shot at turning up at the top of Google (and other) search engine results.

And SEO Richmond (a term I just made up) stands for being optimized to be found when people in Richmond are looking for your business.

There are a number of things you can do to make that happen:

First, optimize your website itself, both the bits you can see and those you can’t because they are behind the scenes.

Next, build some high quality and RELEVANT backlinks. Those support your on site efforts tremendously and give you what’s know as “Google juice.”

But here’s the thing…

All those things can only take you so far when it comes to building your business. Sure, they’ll get your site found more easily. But then what?

What happens when people come to your website. They may say “ho-hum” or “very nice” and then they move on. That’s not what you want.

Instead, you want a way to follow up with anyone who visits your website — or at least with as many of your visitors as possible.

And that’s my own personal mission: SEO Richmond is great, but you really need a follow-up system in place, or else you’re not getting the results you’re hoping for.

So you want to rank well in search engines results? You can, especially if you invest in a blog.

Here are a few tips:

Pick a good domain name (preferably based on the kinds of keywords that your customers are looking for.

Optimize your blog and your blog posts for your preferred keywords

Write useful and interesting content that will make people want to come back AND recommend your blog to their friends

Take advantage of social media marketing

Build a support network that connects back to your blog

A support network? Absolutely. There are two reasons at least why you need to do that.

1) Backlinks. Those links that go back to your blog will tell the search engines that your blog matters — because others are linking to it! Make sure those links come from relevant and well-respected sources though, or else it will backfire.

2) More ways for visitors to find you! Since many of those links should come from places like article directories, chances are good that people who find you there will stop by to look at your blog too, especially if you make it worth their while with a good offer.

The best thing? Those visitors are what’s called “targeted visitors” — they’re interested in what you have to offer.

So get your blog, add great (and well-optimized) content, and set up your suppport network. Then get ready for your visitors!
