Need Help With SEO For My Business Website

Posted: 11 years ago 5 replies

I'm hoping fellow warriors can help point me in the right direction. Quick background. I own a business where I need to target people within about 50 miles of me for one thing, but also target another certain crowd of people across the entire United States.

My questions are the following
1. What are some tips I can use to make my on page seo better for this?
2.what type of backlinks should I focus on building? When building backlinks, do I always use my main URL or do I have to build backlinks separately to each page such as URL.com/pageone
3. The nature of my business I have items that may only be on my site for 2-3 weeks. What's the quickest way to get a blog post/article I write on my site indexed and ranking?
4. I currently use 1-2 keywords for each page on my site, I make the images I use on the page the same keywords. Is this a good rule to follow?
5. What's the best source to check my backlinks as I build them?
6. Is there a way besides going through tons of pages on google to see where my page is ranking for that keyword?

Thanks for all the help

Well, you could use your main keyword(phrase) for the general (or across the U.S. area) focus. Then use the same keyword(phrase) + your target area.
Example...Keyword: specialized widgets = general focus
Keyword + target area: specialized widgets Anytown = local focus

The page you'll send visitors to depends on what action you want/need them to take. If your email newsletter signup is on your first page, for example, and you want subscribers, send them there. Ditto for other actions such as new product, info, or service.

Be sure and use scarcity when marketing your product. Elsewhere here on WF you'll find a current offer called Scarcity Samurai. They're an awesome company.

Using your keywords in your images is fine as long as you don't have loads of images with the same keyword. Then you'll start getting spammy.

If you sign up for Google analytics, you can get a ton of info and insights on how your website is working...for free.

Hope that helps.

My advice is to try and optimize your page for multiple keywords. To do that, you need to find rankable keywords (has buyer traffic). If you haven't done a proper keyword research yet, do it first (and no, the 800 suggestions from google tool does not count )

When backlinking, try to use a wide variety of related anchor texts, also use the main keyword you are ranking more often. Also, don't rely on only one type of backlinks (like blog comments, blog comments alone suck and do more harm than good) go for web 2.0 websites, create quality content, then create various forum profiles, articles, blog posts, etc.

You might also want to do some social exposure as well (facebook, twitter, bookmarkings, videos etc etc)
