Know The Best Practices For On Page SEO

By Walker L. Percy


All SEO would have to consider factors both on-site and off site. The on-line part of your SEO includes the analysis of your site. Some of the things included in this would be the site structure, site content, page loading times, use of keywords and the code wherein the site is built. A great on-site SEO can greatly help the end user since they could help them avoid any technical issue that could happen and make sure that the search engines can properly find and index your site and content.

An SEO plan would be great if it starts with analyzing your site and then giving tips on improving and optimizing your site for users as well as search engines. Businesses often creates sites out of content which they think is of great value to their clients and potential customers. However, there would be some unfortunate situation that the customers would think differently and might use language and jargon that might be different from someone in a particular industry.

Someone from the market research industry, for example, might use technical language to describe what they are doing. Among others, there would commonly be terms that are qualitative and quantitative. This could be a problem since end users and clients don't really use this language. They often look depending on the type of problem they may have of maybe the solution they're looking for. So, for the market research firm that is splashing loads of information about types of analysis they perform, they may be missing out on the very simple term like "phone surveys for customers" simply because they are so immersed in the language of their own industry.

On page optimization is vital for search engine results and even more critical for conversions at your site. With the right keywords, you could be able to gain the right customers. It would be pointless to attract thousand visitors on your site when they're not your target audience. Segmentation would then come into play.

Let your SEO agency know clearly what would be your client type. Frequently, companies believe that it's obvious for who and what they do, though this is not always the case from an outside perspective. This is generally not the case. What the online world would need is clarity, precision and an adoption of the five second rule. You could take this simple test. Open your site to someone who does not who you are or what you do. Close the browser after five minutes and ask them what they think the company in the website does. You would be shocked by the wide variation of responses that you would receive and this could be a chance to refine your marketing message as well as your SEO goals.

However, there wouldn't be any real SEO plan without a complimentary off site strategy. It would include attracting backlinks from other sites to your own. Backlinks are one vital metric search engines use to evaluate the relevance of a site. Backlinking, in simpler terms, would be a popularity contest for your website. You may be able to rank very well on search term when for example, you sell leather sandals and you have a number of links for the term "leather sandals for children" (which, assuming, is a search term which have decent monthly volume).
