Search engines operate in a strange new world. Search engines are visualized as spiders crawling through cyberspace. They pick up “keywords” and add them to their lair of identifying words. They use these words to direct searchers to sites. Search engines operate by artificial intelligence–different from ours. The following tips are designed to help you bridge that gap and help your business gain a valuable friend in these search engine “spiders.”
List your business
If you own a local business and want to make yourself more visible to search engines, make sure you list your business on Google Places. This step will bring up your business to the top of a Google search and will show any information you include (address, phone, website), as well as a map. You will greatly increase visits to your website – and visits to your business.
Posting content
Posting content from your web site on article directory sites can be a great way to get exposure and build traffic. When you post on these directories you will be building a link back to your site which can increase the amount of visits you receive. The more directories you use the more links you create.
Make your descriptive tag engaging. Google and other search platforms will use it to create that little blurb about your site. Users often read these before deciding whether or not to visit a site. Concise, descriptive blurbs draw visitors to your site, sometimes even before sites that rank higher than yours in a search.
It is never a bad idea to add another quality section to your website. When you add content onto your website in whatever form, you make your site more informative to your clients and gain greater search engine visibility. Therefore, you in turn will receive more visitors and you will have more opportunities to catch their attention.
We hope these tips have made this immaterial landscape in which search engine “spiders” operate clearer to you. Leading them to your website will give your business a tremendous boost. Search engines connect your business with customers. Study these tips–and much more information online–and your bottom line will definitely benefit.
