4 Things You Have to do to Get on Google (Lawn Care SEO)
Posted on 05. Jul, 2010 by Dave.
The Internet is free source of news and opinions. This is a wonderful thing from a buyer and shopper point of view but, for the average lawn care business, so much information in such variety of media equals lots of competition. Things that were heavily relied upon in the past for Ranking, such as meta tag keyword and description information are being deprecated and may not always prove so fruitful. Nowadays, technology is diving distribution and forcing the search engines landscape to evolve more quickly. So in this article we will talk about the first 4 things you have to do to create a Google-friendly site.
Give your customers the information they’re looking for
Provide high-quality content on your pages, especially your homepage. This is the single most important thing to do. If your pages contain useful information, their content will attract many visitors and entice webmasters to link to your site.
Make sure that other sites link to yours
Links help Google find your site and can give your site greater visibility in Google’s search results. Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote by page A for page B. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important.”
Keep in mind that Google’s algorithms can distinguish natural links from unnatural links. Natural links to your site develop as part of the dynamic nature of the web when other sites find your content valuable and think it would be helpful for their visitors. Unnatural links to your site are placed there specifically to make your site look more popular to search engines. Some of these types of links (such as link schemes and doorway pages) are covered in Google’s webmaster guidelines.
Only natural links are useful for the indexing and ranking of your site.
Make your site easily accessible
Build your site with a logical link structure. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.
If features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Macromedia Flash keep you from seeing your entire site in a text browser, then spiders may have trouble crawling it.
Things to avoid
Don’t fill your page with lists of keywords, attempt to “cloak” pages, or put up “crawler only” pages. If your site contains pages, links, or text that you don’t intend visitors to see, Google considers those links and pages deceptive and may ignore your site.
Don’t use images to display important names, content, or links. Google does not recognize text contained in graphics. Use ALT attributes if the main content and keywords on your page can’t be formatted in regular HTML.
Don’t create multiple copies of a page under different URLs.
A few simple changes can go a long way toward creating a Google-friendly site. Experiment with the above dos and turn more of your visitors into lawn care customers. I should say if you feel difficulties in designing/optimize your site, or if you have any questions, concerns feel free to contact us. Foamers will easily and skillfully do all the necessary changes for you. We bring over 9 years of experience and we work hard on the modifications for your complete satisfaction.
