Top SEO Rankings: Do You Have A Plan?

You need traffic to build a business. There are a lot of different ways to get traffic and hopefully your marketing plan includes many of those different strategies. Most online marketers agree that the foundation should always start with SEO. Regardless of what you do with paid traffic, you always want a stream of targeted traffic coming from the organic engines.



So what are you doing to get that traffic?

And here's a question we never had to ask in the past....what are you doing to KEEP that traffic if you already have it?

While rankings were never something that were "owed" to you, in the past when you ranked well you could pretty much count on it continuing. These days that isn't the case. With Google targeting links, or duplicate content or lack of fresh content, there are plenty of ways a site that was sitting pretty could get knocked down.

It's getting harder to get rankings, but it's no less important to get rankings. So what is your plan to get and hold on to rankings?

I want to offer you 2 things today and I hope you'll take advantage of one or both of them...

1. Breaking The SEO Code is my downloadable book about SEO. It's less than $15 and it goes over SEO and social media. It's the perfect reference tool and at that price it's a no brainer. Whether you want to learn SEO or check up on work someone else did, this book is a comprehensive resource that includes lifetime updates (at no additional charge). If you own a site, you need this book. It's that simple.

2. If you don't have the rankings or traffic you need, if you don't have a plan for social media or fresh content, if you have any questions at all about your business - request a free consultation or proposal now. I'll review your site and help you come up with an action plan.

There is no obligation with a consultation or proposal, but I ask you to seriously consider 2 things...

1. Be honest about your budget. You are under no obligation to outsource but if there is even a slight chance you need some help, you want a proposal that is tailored to your needs. If the budget you list is too high or too low, there is no chance that it'll work for you.

2. Please reply and acknowledge the proposal. I am not pushy. I don't harass people into doing business with me. But I do put a lot of time into the site reviews and proposals and want to be sure you received it, so I will follow up. I am looking for serious business owners that want to actually grow their business this year. I am prepared to share helpful information. But only if I know you will at least confirm you received it and let me know your thoughts and questions. You don't have to work with me - that's OK. But do seriously consider the info I share with you!

It's early in the year and NOW is the time to take action. Action may mean hiring someone, it may mean buying a book and digging into the work for yourself. Either option is fine. But inaction is not fine. Not if you want to grow your business. Think about it. Buy the book if it makes sense to you. Request a consultation or proposal if it makes sense to you. Reply with any questions if that is what you need right now. The only thing I ask is that you don't file this email away and do nothing. :)

The Importance of SEO in Todays Market

SEO has evolved and changed over the years (I've been doing this for over 10 years and have seen so much change sometimes my head spins). One thing that remains constant is the importance of SEO. Actually that isn't even entirely accurate. SEO continues to become more important.

Back in the good old days, not everyone understood the importance of SEO so there was less competition. As more and more companies realize the importance and hire an SEO company, the competition continues to get even more fierce and the importance of getting listed in the engines is greater.

Now add the economy into the mix, and things really start to heat up.

As much as I hate to bring up the economy (we are inundated with talk of the economy all day long) I have to. Not because I want to add to the negative talk out there, but because the poor economy is actually playing an interesting role in how people search online. More than ever people are comparison shopping, so getting your site listed on top is even more crucial. You want to be one of the sites they consider when they are doing their comparison shopping. You also want to make sure your site is in tip-top form so that you can earn that business while they are doing their comparison shopping.

Another interesting tid bit about people's shopping habits in this crazy economy: while people always look for a deal - they are now looking for who offers the best value and not necessarily the cheapest price. Rather than automatically lowering your prices like everyone does, why not try building up the value? Make yourself stand out from the crowd. Add some freebies in there and win them over with the value you offer!

So, the take away here?
  1. Make sure your site is listed on top of the engines.
  2. Make sure your site is a selling machine and prepared to convert your traffic into good old fashioned paying customers.
  3. Consider bulking up your offerings to increase the value and make sure people feel it's a no brainer to do business with you.


That's all for today. Stay tuned for a cool SEO trick that allows you to spy on your competitors a little bit!
