Search Engines
The ultimate goal
The ultimate goal of your website is to increase your business. To do this, you need to drive potential clients to your businesses site.
The best way to do this is through a high position in Google search engine rankings. The majority of people use a search engine to find what they are looking for on the Internet.
By having a high ranking on Google, your website will come up more frequently when people are searching for services your business provides on the Internet. A popular way to raise your search engine ranking is through a process called White Hat SEO.
The SEO help
At Pro Site Builder, we can help you with White Hat SEO to ensure that your website moves up the Google ranks and traffic steadily increases. There are a several factors to think about when you are working to optimize your search engine results. Sites like Google and Yahoo! take hundreds of items into account when presenting a person with search results.
Some of the top factors include the phrase the person typed into the search engine box and previous searches by that person. Because people searching are more likely to click on the top results that appear, getting your business at the top will likely bring more traffic to your site.
Potential clients
To effectively use White Hat SEO, you need to know what potential clients are going to be typing into a search engine. The words that you think will most often be used in searches should be keywords that you use organically in your website’s text. For example, if you are a toy company who specializes in educational toys, you might want to use “educational,” “learning,” and “toys” as keywords to use in your website’s copy.
If someone types in “educational toys,” the search engine is going to give them websites that use that exact phrase. For that reason alone, you want to attempt to use as many different versions of your keywords as possible. You want to make sure, though, that each keyword actually makes sense in the copy and that you are not just padding your site to attempt and raise your ranking.
The actual business of search engine optimization has been controversial. Some companies will pad their websites with random keywords in an attempt to raise their ranking, while others will add links that do not actually work to try and move up the list. These types of search engine optimization techniques are called Black Hat SEO and can backfire on a company who uses them. Several of the major Internet search engines have warned websites that Black Hat SEO can be viewed as spam and will not show them in search engine results. Pro Site Builder recommends that all our clients use White Hat SEO, as there are many other ethical and easy ways to drive traffic to your website.
Another thing to consider is using full product descriptions when writing about different items. If a customer searches for a “red leather hobo purse” and you carry that product, you want the search engine to direct them to your website. If your product description says “leather hobo purse in a variety of colors,” the ranking will not be as high as “red leather hobo purse” would have been. Small things like this can increase your traffic, which means increased business.
At Pro Site Builder, we will help you make the most of your website and products by using White Hat SEO. By taking time at the beginning of the process, you can guarantee that your website ranking will rise on search engines and you can also feel comfortable knowing you are using White Hat SEO to accomplish this.
