Search Engine Optimization

93% of online experiences begin with a search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.).

46% of Google Searches worldwide are local, and local SEO for small businesses is so powerful that it’s no longer a choice - it’s a must.

Search engine optimization (SEO) helps your website climb the ranks of search engine results pages (SERPs).

SEO doesn't begin with research. Keywords, domain authority, backlinks, competition can all wait.

An effective SEO approach begins with one thing: introspection.

Don't jump into a Moz, Ahrefs, or SEMRush subscription right away. Instead, ask yourself these questions:

• What do you want your content to do for you?
• How do you want to serve your audience not just now, but over the next 12 months?
• How can your website support other content you're already creating?
• What are you really in business for? What are you trying to achieve?

When you ask yourself WHY you want to have better SEO...

Search Engine Optimization

What is it?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the quality and quantity of website traffic to a website or a web page from search engines. SEO targets unpaid traffic (known as "natural" or "organic" results) rather than direct traffic or paid traffic. Unpaid traffic may originate from different kinds of searches, including image search, video search, academic search, news search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, the computer-programmed algorithms that dictate search engine behavior, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines, and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. SEO is performed because a website will receive more visitors from a search engine when websites rank higher on the search engine results page (SERP). These visitors can then potentially be converted into customers.

Content Marketing Strategy Checklist

To help you get started, here's a content marketing strategy checklist:   Keyword Research: make sure you have a long list of keywords linked to your products, services, or brand. This list should be updated on a regular basis to incorporate new keyword ideas so that you never run out of material. Content Objectives: what are your goals for publishing content? Each piece of material might have its own objective. One goal could be to develop topic authority, while another could be to convert leads.

Include specifics such as brand words' spelling and capitalization, the number of photos to use for each piece, and the number of subheadings to use. Pillar Pa
