Website SEO optimisation can take a few forms. Firstly, your on-page SEO is a massive ranking factor. You can work on building your authority with Google and on content creation on-site. By speeding up your website loading speed, and creating on-site content for the keywords which your customers seek, you can slowly build more online presence on the SERPS – Search Engine Ranking Pages.
In particular you can target long tail keywords – keywords which are easier to rank for within your niche. Shorter tail keywords can be targeted too, but are often more difficult to rank for, depending on the competition in your niche.
Website SEO Optimisation – Off-Site
Off-site, there’s things to do too to optimise your website for traffic. You can build backlinks from other websites within your niche. Back-links is an important factor in Google’s ranking algorithm.
Links from social media too are useful. Some links can hurt your ranking ability though, if they are from poor quality or spammy websites which have nothing to do with your website niche. So it’s important to find others within your sector whom you can connect with and build a long term marketing strategy through guest posting and building back links over time. A good link profile should come from high domain authority websites within your niche, or those which are similar to you.
YouTube is also a good place to build backlinks from by building up a library of useful content for your potential customers on video.
Website SEO Optimisation – Building Useful Resources
Your on-site content creation can also help you over the long term through link building too. By creating useful resources within your niche, such as guides, pdf’s and downloadable manuals, for example, other websites will often link back to these resources, particularly if they are valuable. These are known as linkable assets:
- infographics
- ebooks
- original research and data
- tools and calculators
- case studies
- templates
- quiz’s
Become A Valuable Resource For Information
Once you have created a huge library of assets on your website, and a bunch of linkable assets, you become valuable in your niche. When Google sees this you will increase your domain authority which pushes you up in the search results pages. This gives you more traffic and therefore more sales over the longer term.
This is a longer term strategy – building content and resources, but it’s worth the effort. If you’re not up for building your own content, you can outsource this task to us!
Want Traffic Fast – Buy It!
To get more visitors to your website more quickly than can be done through SEO, it’s worth paying for some traffic. You can do this in small increments at first to test the water and see what works. As you find a strategy which is bringing in customers/sales, you can focus your marketing budget on those keywords which lift your bottom line.
Spending budget on traffic can be limited to a budget which suits you. You can start small and build up once you’re more comfortable and know what you’re doing!
