| If you own a website, it’s natural that you want to be listed at the top of the search results. This is because users will most likely find a website that suits their needs towards the top of the page. The further down the page you are, the more likely it is that many people will miss your website. Whether you are selling products or services, you need strong search engine placement in order to get more business. |

| QUICK TIPS:
Consider how people will search for your web page. The words you visualize them entering into the search box should be your target keywords. Keep in mind the language your business uses is not always the same language your customer uses. For example, you might consider yourself a “software dev staff augmentation firm” but most people would simply search “software development team” or “outsourced software development team”.
Make sure your targeted keywords are always at least two or more words long. Most of the time, single-word searches are too ambiguous to be effective. There are many reasons why someone might search for something like “bicycle.” Don’t spend all your time fighting the odds. Choose phrases that contain two or more words, and you will have a much higher chance of success. |
