Take Your Business To The Next Level
Use The Right Keywords
One of the main strategies in SEO is keyword research. When you build out your website’s content, you MUST consider primary and secondary keywords. You ALSO need to understand how to use them properly so that you pop up in more searches. A primary keyword is your landing page’s main focus. The keyword should be the preceding description of your business or brand offers and what that content is focused on. For example, on this particular blog, that primary keyword would be “SEO.” Secondary keywords, on the other hand, support the primary keyword and add detail. The more you work to include secondary keywords, the higher you will likely rank.
Keep Your URLs Simple & Descriptive
When it comes to on-page SEO, there are some uber-simple ways you can optimize your SEO. When coming up with an effective URL, consider these three things:
-
Conciseness: Keep your URLs short if you can. URLs under 60 characters are best, as many search engines have a difficult time processing long URLs.
-
Simple: Does your URL look complicated? Does it confuse the reader and not give them a sense of what the article is about? Your URL should be simple and cater to the consumer’s eye.
-
Keywords: Have one or more of your targeted keywords in your URL.

Create High-Quality Backlinks
Building backlinks is one of the main components of a professional SEO strategy. The beauty of this strategy is that it is one of the easiest to implement. Two forms of backlinks will impact your ranking factor, including following links and no-follow links.
Follow links have the most impact. When you backlink to other authority websites, you should ask your readers if you’re an authority on this particular topic. Your online searches will rank higher as you add more high-quality links.
You can also create links to YOUR content on other websites by offering to write guest posts for authority outlets or reaching out to relevant publishers to write about any original data or research you have on your website. You might even consider hiring a link-building service to get you started.
Final Thoughts
SEO is critical for digital marketing success, and every business owner or marketer should have a basic understanding of it at the least.
