It’s great that you have a website and that your business is online!

But can you please tell where can I find you exactly?

I tried searching for your product and service but couldn’t find you!

But then, I found your competitors for sure!

Are you sure you are online?

Or are you not optimizing your website for search engines?

Perhaps not!

You know what they say that the best place to hide a dead body is page 2 of the Google search results as anyone hardly gives it a look.

Creating a website doesn’t mean your business is online as until and unless people can find you and that you are visible on search engines how would you get benefitted from the online world. I know you must be thinking that there is high competition and you would not be able to out rival your competitors so easily. Nothing new! People do think like this, for there are a number of myths related with search engine optimization.

By the way what is search engine optimization actually?

Search Engine Optimization refers to the collection of techniques and practices that allow a site to get more traffic from search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc).

And let me tell you, optimizing your website isn’t a big deal you just need to identify with what users and the search engine wants. See as far as search engines are concerned their main motive is to provide users with the best possible experience. So, you keep users in mind and optimize your website accordingly.

Identify with what people want. They have a query or a concern that need to be resolved so you need to provide information to them. But how? Again if they will type a keyword that’s not mentioned anywhere on your website they are not going to find you no matter how helpful and informative content you have on your website. So, the word here is ‘Keywords’.

Let me walk you through some tips and guidelines of SEO that will help optimize your website for search engines and get visible on the first page of Google if you carry them out well.

Keywords Research

114 It happens to be the first step toward a successful SEO strategy. You need to identify what keywords the online users are using to come to your website. Using those keywords aptly on your website can drive targeted traffic to your website converting searchers into customers for you.

After that, through Google Adwords keyword Planner find how competitive those keywords are and if you have found that the keyword is too competitive then go with long-tail keywords as that will make your website rank higher easily. The longer the keyword, the less competition you are going to have for that phrase in search engines.


Meta tags
