Follow these tips below for better on-page SEO, faster website loading times, and better brand visibility on the SERP.

📍 Properly size your images, you can do this in Photoshop, Canva, or even Paint and export as a jpg.

📍If it is still larger in size (300 kb or more) after resizing, compress it online with Optimizilla or Tiny PNG.

📍Take your compressed image and convert it to a WebP file type. After this, you can a descriptive file name and upload to your website.

For your main featured images, give it the file name of your target keyword.

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: Some platforms do not support WebP so a jpg will suffice.

📍When uploading your featured images, also use the target keyword as your Alt text. All other Alt texts can describe the image.

📍Fill out the descriptions, and on some of them can even have a subtle CTA. People will see this when they hover over the image.

This is important especially for your brand images, as you want them to show in the Google  image pack when your brand is searched.

💎 Google is moving away from the plain blue links on the SERP, and you want to show up in many places as possible.

You may be way better than another business at performing a specific service.

But.. If they have a more optimized website, they will be the ones scheduling calls and booking jobs.

Optimize your service pages for where you want to compete in and for what you offer.  Don't use a vague broad term which you cannot rank for.

If you are having difficulties ranking your website in a specific location, send me a DM and I will see if I can help! 👍

If you want website visitors to take your site and business more seriously, you got to stop using the exact same images as everyone else! 

These are so easy to spot, some of them are comical, and they don’t make your website standout.

I would suggest getting professional photos done, using your own images, or hiring a graphic designer. 

I am in the process of redoing my site and using a combination of the above.

Google will take your brand and website more seriously when you have original pieces. 

These original images 🌆 have a better chance of being shown in image boxes on the SERP.

💎 Here are a few on-page SEO elements Each webpage on your element should have.

- Page title (50-60 characters in length) with target keyword.

- Meta description (150-160 characters in length) with target keyword.

- One (1) H1 heading tag with the target keyword.

- Compressed images with a small file size, a file name with the keyword in it, and an Alt Text also containing the keyword.

-Google is getting very smart, your images should be relevant to the text it is near to give more context.

- Use internal links with exact match URLs to all of your main service or landing pages.

💎 Off-page SEO elements

- Link placements.

- Guest posts from real and relevant websites with traffic.

- Be active on 2-3 different social media platforms.

- Stay away from Fiverr, quality links must be earned which takes time and lots of effort OR be willing to pay 💰 

If you have any questions let me know and I will answer!

Here is a free keyword research tool you can use to improve the search engine optimization on your website. 

If you want to look something up quickly, or don’t want to pay for an expensive SEO tool, this will work.

I got this sent to me through a newsletter, so I figured I would share it as well.

The keyword data comes from SEM Rush, so it is fairly accurate.

Under the KD% column you want to look for keywords that have a lower number with a green circle.

Sadly ☹️ a few paragraphs of text will not cut it. 

If you want to compete in SEO you have to play at the same level everyone else is on the first page.

If the top 3 competitors on Google for your target 🎯 keyword have 4,700 words on the topic.. Guess how much you have to write.

If you were planning to write a blog today, type in the keyword to Google you would like to rank for, and then look at all the pages top performing pages.

A lot of websites got deindexed for creating spammy AI content 🤖 this past week.

You just can’t tell Chat GPT to whip up a 3,000 word article and place it directly on your website!

The content still needs to be researched, outlined, written, and edited. You can get AI to assist with some of the steps, but it can’t do it all.

My research and writing ✍️ hasn’t changed much in the past few years, and I have been using one AI tool  the entire time.

It is only used for outlines, and the rest is done by me 🙂

How much AI do you use in your content production process?

Make An Investment In Web Design + SEO

If your business does not currently have a website OR if it is outdated,  I can help get you back on track with a modern looking website and  Search Engine Optimization.

Take a look at the pointers below, and maybe they can help to convince you too!

    • 94% of negative feedback given to websites is design related. If you are looking for a clean and modern design, or if your website has a bad layout or  colour scheme I can help.

 

    • 93% of global traffic comes from Google Search, Google Images, Google Maps. You need to make sure your website is properly indexed so visitors can find it.

 

    • 75% Of customers have made judgments about a company’s credibility based on their web design. It is crazy to think about how many reputable companies have lost potential new clients and revenue due to poor web design. I can fix this and prevent it from happening again.

 

    • 0.78% of Google searchers click on results from the 2nd page. This is number is insanely low! With research, optimizations, and quality content, I can bring your page to the front and get visitors to your page.

 

  • If you mainly rely on socials like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tik Tok to get leads consider SEO instead. BrightEdge conducted a study and saw that SEO drive 1000% more percent traffic compared to socials.
