6 SEO TECHNIQUES THAT WIN CUSTOMERS, FOR REAL!

So finally, you have launched your new website, and you are eager to expand your business online. The website is highly responsive, attention-grabbing, user-friendly, and looks fabulous. But how are you so sure that your target audience will actually find it? Will you ever get the desired results if your website does not appear in Google for your potential client's keyword searches? 

SEO (search engine optimization) helps enhance your business’s online presence and reach your target audience. With time and effort, your visibility grows gradually and increases your brand awareness. But search engine optimization is not a quick and easy task. It is an intricate process that requires technical knowledge, as well as understanding the dynamics of the Google algorithm. 

But the best part is that once you implement the techniques well, there's no looking back. With improvements in traffic, your lead generation will be enhanced, and as a result, you will experience higher sales. This is a given since referrals from keyword searches capture qualified customers already in the buying cycle, honing in on your specific product or service. 

Are you yearning to learn some effective SEO tips and techniques? We have curated a list of SEO techniques that promise to give your business a boost. Now let’s dive into those valuable ti

Top 6 SEO Tips and Tricks to Boost Your Website Visibility

1. Finding a niche

Search engines point their users to content that is relevant and authoritative. That's why, if you are an expert in a specific niche, your website should reflect that. Suppose you are a professional dancer and have launched a website for promoting your dance studio. Your content should be related to dance and not deviate from the topic. Keep the red velvet cake recipe for your social media as it won't do anything for your website or blog.

2. Keyword research and how to choose them: Keywords should be chosen carefully as they either make or break the deal. If you run an a la carte restaurant in Sydney, then your keywords should be “Restaurant Sydney” or maybe, "5-star restaurant in Surrey Hills, Sydney.” When your target visitor uses these keywords to search for specific services, your competitors’ websites will also appear in the search results. Therefore, you should use long-tail keywords that are more specific, detail-oriented, and can guide your potential clients to your website and specific niche. If you feel that keyword research is way too complicated and time-consuming, try hiring an SEO expert that will utilize their experience and knowledge to come up with the right set of keywords for your website content and blogs.

3. Content goals and optimizing on-page: You need to have a clear content strategy and adhere to it in order to meet your SEO goals. Content is what gives you the tools for on-page optimization. For instance, build out new content through your blog and focus on internal linking. Unlike backlinks, you can use internal linking to manage the flow of traffic to key pages in your website. 

"When you are publishing a new blog, add links to it from older posts to help Google’s crawlers find and index it."

4. Optimizing images: Image optimization enhances your SEO strategy by improving the website load speed. As a result, users won't leave your site, and thus image optimization also helps in enhancing the user experience. Another significant benefit is that it will keep the server memory safe and secure and also bring down the load on the server. Start by ensuring images are sized correctly and use a plugin to change them to new generation formats. 

5. User Experience and speed: If you are aware of the research by Google, you must know that more than 53% of mobile audiences leave a particular website if it takes more than three seconds to load. Use tools like Pingdom or Google's Test My Site to analyze the speed of your website. If it appears to be slow, then prioritize improving speed. Use the tools that help you with data-driven advice on how to improve your website. Also, when you focus on the overall user experience, you are actually catering to the needs of the searcher. This, in return, improves the performance of organic search marketing.

6. Optimizing the customer journey for conversions: Optimising your conversion rate will enhance your sales. Try to understand user behaviors, bring value to them by delivering simple user experiences. All you need to do is to cater to your customers at every stage of the conversion funnel.

Effective SEO techniques always render positive results. If you need better and swifter results or do not have enough time to devote to SEO tactics, hire renowned SEO experts like Oevae Marketing Consultants who will do the job for you.

Persuasive Wordplay in Animated Email Advertisements

Animated email advertisements by Google. An incredibly well-known company, which began as a search engine but now houses an entire suite similar to that of Microsoft Office. The following advertisement is for their advancement into becoming something of an "all-in-one" company, similar to Apple's "Siri," "Google Assistant" is an assistant to help people complete tasks by only using vocal commands. However, let's see how their advertisement compares to our standards.

Google Assistant Advertisement - Overall Grade: A

ANIMATED:


The animated portion of their advertisement is extremely well made for email-based marketing approaches. Firstly, it's a small portion of the email that's fully animated, creating smaller file size, and therefore, a shorter loading time. 

The pretense of this advertisement is the sentence, "Have Google -blank- it." Putting different words in place of this "blank" is effective in that it's able to give examples of what the audience can do with this specific product. In giving multiple different uses for the Google Assistant, more people will buy into the idea of using it, because they can see a practical use for the product. Having the text move quicker and quicker as the animation goes on before replacing the changing verb into the slogan is smart because it gives the audience a sense of there being many, many more options available, and that there isn't enough time to look through them all. This is smart as a way to also lead into the ending, where the slogan appears.

The bold statement of "Make Google do it" is extremely effective in that it's able to very simply explain what the entirety of the animated advertisement had been trying to say; essentially, that Google, or Google's Assistant, can do anything you ask it to, and that all you have to do is tell it to do so. It's a smart way to tell the audience that they need to "Make Google do -blank-" in a way that doesn't sound like a command. If it were phrased that way, fewer people would be inclined to listen, even just a little bit, because people don't like being told what to do. However, with the email advertisement saying that they should make Google -blank- it, the audience doesn't feel as if they're being commanded, but that they can tell Google what needs to be done.

To finish off the animated advertisement with the logo for Google's Assistant is extremely smart, especially coupled with the fact that it is the only color in the entire animation. Having it be the only splash of color helps to make the logo stand out, as well as making sure that the audience remembers it from the animation. Considering the logo is also used within Google Assistant itself, it's good that it's in the advertisement to give the audience and customers a tie-in to the product itself.

STATIC:

The rest of this advertisement is great, considering that it came up in time for spring. The imagery of someone pruning a tree, getting it healthy for spring, is not only a great juxtaposition of the monotony of black, grey, and white (minus the Google Assistant logo, of course), but it also brings in the color green as a focal point, which is not only associated with nature and life but also money and wealth, slightly inspiring imagery of Google Assistant being a product that will help someone's life be prosperous. "Spring into action" is a really cute way to blend in the time, and give a reason to begin using Google Assistant, which we'll mention soon. Through the statement, "tidy up and make way for what matters most with help from your Google Assistant," one can assume that the email advertisement is alluding to the fact that, in spring, many people participate in spring cleaning, in order to have a clean start for the rest of the year. This can also be helped through the fact that they're advertising a completely hands-free version of the AI, meaning that the audience can be cleaning with their hands, and begin searching things, create reminders, and more, simply by saying a vocal prompt. 

The final part of the email advertisement states that Google Assistant can be available across different devices, which not only helps sell their product to people who maybe have multiple devices that support Google Assistant, or at least, try to send a subconscious message for people who don't have multiple devices, to perhaps look into buying some for the upcoming seasons. 

Overall, the grade I've given is simply because I believe that every aspect of this animated email advertisement is absolutely wonderful. The subtle psychology behind the wording of the slogan, the color aspects of the animation, the color of the static image below, the wordplay on the season, and the slight advertisement at the bottom; everything works cohesively together, and it's orchestrated into a beautifully simple, yet complex advertisement that is succinct and persuasive.

What do Tags mean to your website?

Image via Wikipedia

The first thing Google tells you about meta Tags is that Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking. So this article is more at understanding Tags and crafting Tags for your website in a way that will help your website communicate better with the search engines so people can find your website faster and with less effort in doing so.

So that you don't read my entire soapbox yet guide to generating great tags; here's the list of topics I will cover:

Proper Title Tags, Proper Description Tags, Proper Keywords Tags, Proper Heading Tags, Page Content, Duplicate Content/Tags, Word Density, and end with Web Site Analysis.

If this all sounds like a foreign language to you. Don't bug out yet. You should at least familiarize yourself with these topics as a small business owner. These topics are very important aspects of website development that make you or make it very hard for you to have the positive results desire.

So grab a cold beverage and about 20 minutes to refresh your knowledge about Tags, learn something you didn't know about tags, or make sure you know what you're talking about when it comes to Tags and your website.

Here you go.

Well-constructed Title Tags
Well-constructed title tags contain the main keyword for the page, followed by a brief description of the page content. It will be less than 65 characters and avoid using stop words such as: a, if, the, then, and, an, to, etc. Your title tag should also be limited to the use of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and commas.

Good Description Tags
Good description tags contain information about the page's content and persuade search engine users to visit your web site. They should be between 25 and 35 words in length.

Proper Keywords Tags
Proper keywords meta tag should contain between 5-10 keywords or keyword phrases that are also found in page content.

Proper Heading Tags
Each page of your site should use at least the H1 heading tag for the search engines that examine it when crawling your site.st the H1 heading tag for the search engines that examine it when crawling your site.

Duplicate Content/Tags
Because search engines treat web sites as a grouping of pages and not a single entity, each page on your site should be unique so that the tags and content differ between each page. Doing so increases the number of pages that will rank.

Word Density
Pages should contain 300 to 700 words of unique and descriptive content. A page's meta tag keywords should also be those that occur most frequently on the page.

Web Site Analysis
A robust analysis (including keyword usage, spiderability, and Robots.txt files and Robots Meta tags) of your website's strengths and possible weaknesses helps you remain search engine friendly. Monitoring your website analytics aka performance will help you get detailed, site-specific results faster.

That's it.
Now REMEMBER not to be discouraged if you don't see instant results. This is not minute rice we are cooking. No, knowing what Tags means you can make sure your website is and remains search engine friendly. Knowing your Tags also helps you build your online brand with maximum impact. So take your time and make subtle adjustments and monitor your website analytics.

How marketing research helps consumer communications.

Sometimes all you need is a little help. There have been several opportunities aka experiences in my marketing tenure that groomed and molded me into possibly one of the best marketing consultants in the world. I believe it and Google does too. Search Google for: the best marketing consultants in the world I'm just saying. There have been many times that I've not been as well versed on a topic or two. Yes, it is true, I don't know everything despite the kudos above. These opportunities have opened the door for learning and adventure. Most of the time I will need extra research on a topic that concerns achieving the goal of my clients. So I'm not troubled when I sacrifice my personal time to get a better grip on a topic. I remember learning something about how the best lenses in the world are created by Essilor and another time how the video would mesh with a large Nikon Pro and Nikon consumer web development projects. With the computer keyboard in front of you and the world at your fingertips, one can find just about anything someone has put there for all to see, read, and hear. I won't count the ability of touch screen as this is like petting a gorilla at the zoo behind the glass. It ain't real. I have a confidential project in development with regard to smell. I'll get back to you on that at a later date. Today you can start a business and start selling or print some business cards and dish them within a week. So we already know about the abilities to find information there. 

Go to the library and research the old frontier (books). Open a book and read more in-depth about the company that trumps yours. Learn how they got there and evaluate where they are today. Visit the book store and find a magazine from another country that talks about your industry and learn how the people in that country respond to industry changes, new products, or services. Read the annual reports of Fortune 500 companies and keep watch on new companies entering the market. Find out how they communicate with consumers and make alliances with other companies and countries. Consult a professional in your industry or visit a trade show to watch how people respond to your competitors. This means if you want to open D'oh Donut Shop, then you need to know about dough, flour, sugar, and service. You need to go around to the world looking at donut brands and how consumers like to eat them. You want to make sure your donuts are not just different but special in a substantial way that people are gonna love them. 

Take this information and imagine where your company would fit. If it could fit? What would make your company special? Focus for a short time on what others cannot do and why they aren't doing it. It could be that your business model is a perfect fit. You will soon be bumping into unknown characteristics in your industry. Again we've reached a point when some of my clients have crash-landed. Recoverable, but still a crash with frustrations and anxiety about make the best choice for the big investments. An investment of time and money. Since time cannot be replaced, they come to Oevae for a little help. Because sometimes all you need is a little help. DIY marketing is not dead you know!? That's it. The more you know about your industry, from where it came, who is in it, who evolved from it, and who dissolved in it helps your ability to communicate with consumers.

How many pages should be in a good website?

The number of pages on your website can be a minimum of 1 and there is no maximum that I've heard about. However, I do remember learning about a large number in 3rd grade called Googolplex – this is long before there was a Google, aka Alphabet.

Now let's get real. 

I ask my clients "why are you building a website?" If you think about the question it may seem a bit simple at first... the answer might be that you want to sell some new crayon that tastes like M&M's or new reversible running shoes? The deeper point we are trying to get to is what will it take to get whomever to do what you want. 

Ask yourself a few questions:

1. Will your product or service take a bunch of explaining?
2. Do you have a product or service a fit for everybody or a select few?
3. Are you wanting your website to amaze, tease and tickle minds?
4. Should you give website visitors everything you've got?

This list can go on for some time... and you want to explore as many windows of opportunity as possible. Let's move now. Before deciding how many pages should be on a good website, you must have good content. Content that makes visitors do what YOU do when you find something on the Internet. You bookmark the page or send the information on to a friend or family member. If you're at work, you may even share the new find with a co-worker. The website becomes a point of reference for whatever topic you need. 

Your website should be worthy of the consumers time – anyone who knows much about website design, knows the importance of unique and relevant content. 

A big mistake. When you create content for your like in hopes to be like some other website you've seen. Do not do this. This is a no-no. That would be your first step away from being unique. Wrong direction. Yes, I hear you... there are companies online that you probably admire and that's a good thing. This means you do have some marbles rolling around upstairs. You may even sell the same product. But taking it to the point/mission of being a copycat doesn't work on the Internet. Oh, you can fake it for a while, but soon enough the search engines will find out you're a ghost and this means it's back to the drawing board for you. The search engines no longer find you unique and more like a Twinkie. One thing you can do to be unique is Yourself. I mean you want to be original at a whole new level. Take your imagination on a road trip. Think about the dumbest way you could sell your product. Think of the worst customers you could have. Think what you would do if your product was the only thing on earth you had left. Imagine what your product would be in 20 years. These may seem like hard places to go in your mind, but forcing answers to imaginary situations has brought every good invention I know about. 

So how many pages should your website contain?

1 - 2 - 10 - 50? You will soon realize the answer to this question comes to you when you know what you want to say, how you want to say it, and if it will make you famous? Ever since Minute Rice, nobody wants to wait for a cotton-picking thing. With this in mind, I suggest that you not waste my time telling me how much better your tires are. I (website visitor) want it now and I want it to be good for me now. If you're an accounting firm... I better feel very confident and please don't puzzle me with a bunch of verbiages... Heck, I only want to know how I can spend my money and save more of it at the same time. Can you do that? If you could. I would do business with you in an instant like everyone lined up behind me to do the same thing. 

It's time to start thinking. Do you know who would even want to visit a business like yours on the Internet? Maybe you have a car was. Why would you need a website? Well, maybe you want customers to go to your website to type in a code from the receipt to download a special deal... Free Wax anybody? 

Yes, your website can be just one page. Maybe that page is one long page? Who says you have to go to a "next" page... maybe scroll down? 

The sure thing is you must tell visitors who you are, what you do, and what they can do because of you. This is something you can accomplish in a total of one to 4 pages. Think about it this way... if you search let's say Google for a really cool ax called and find one called AXEED, you learn that it actually has a heating element in the handle that keeps your hand warm – that's pretty cool. So you search Google again, but this time you type "ax with a warm handle" and you get a list of websites on the first page of Google about similar products... rarely do you go beyond the 3 or fourth page of results.  Instead, you will type in a little different search this time... "hot handle ax brand."  Again, you have a list of websites with links to pages... like the previous search, you don't go past the 3 or fourth page before your change your keyword search. Using this methodology, why would your website be any different? If a visitor lands on your website and it doesn't get the point across (encourage them to learn more) in 3 to 4 pages... it's Bye-bye.

Avoid Web Design Disasters

The information you send to the person designing your website is your first step toward learning more about creating your company's brand. Your designer will need you to answer questions so that they can fine-tune a cost and action plan for the website design and development; you can start your website design with a single page.

Web design companies you may have asked about website design and development, generally say it's the number of pages that determines the cost of a website. This is really a novice way of looking at the Internet. Not long ago technology was different and the learning curve for those hesitant to learn has enabled this way of thinking to linger. It's changing as I type this article, to be honest. 

Creating high-quality website content is paramount

Today's technology allows users to have incredible control over website content, thus allowing for interactivity and personalization - ownership of brands they believe in and trust with minimal investment.  If your product was an apple, you would use various avenues to get customers to buy.  Your apples must be worth the bite – this could include affordable, tasty/appealing, nearby, fresh, and offer consumers a great experience for the bite. With this in mind, a web designer can usually design and develop your website using a combination of the most desired features that express your vision of excellence and show you ways of drawing/pushing traffic to your website on one page or many pages. 

We all know despite the size of a restaurant, it's the food, the service, and the price – experience that determines who returns.  Rarely do we return to a disorganized business with lousy communication, and concerns about safety.  The same is true for your website. Your website design/development should include discussions about hosting, email, branding, photography, copy, alignment with search engine protocols, and analytics features that tell you details about website visitors and their interactivity, and the website traffic flow.  A basic website often includes a homepage aka landing page, contact page/form, photography/videos, an about us page, information about services or products, and FAQs. 

Website production time could be 2 weeks for a small micro website or 45-60 days for a high-end website with advanced user experience or eCommerce.  The web design firm should allow time for you to share the layout and website design concept with your business partners or peers.  Often the more bells and whistles or third-party integrations (widgets, plugins, e-commerce, etc.), and overall dynamics will determine your ultimate cost.  At Oevae.com you can scale your website dynamics over time with a custom marketing membership which allows you a low startup expense with a monthly payment. 

Using Website Templates

Think about Disney.com vs. Google.com, both have incredible depth and entirely different packaging. In the same way, try to avoid template websites if possible.  How do feel when you walk into a business and see someone wearing the same thing you are wearing?  The outfit that took you nearly an hour to decide to put together because you wanted to wear something unique to your personality?  Not good.  Who's wearing it best?  Template websites are the same way.  What makes your website unique if the last website your prospect visited looks just like yours?  There are online DIY website builders that are easy to use and allow you to use your own creativity if you have the time and patience.

If you have defined the number of topics you feel your website should cover and how you want visitors to communicate with you from the website, please explain this in detail to your web designer. In fact, this is really the person you want to convey your deepest aspirations and visions for your website. Sometimes with too many people involved details get lost or skewed.

Knowing your target date for completion will help the web design firm define its production timeline which should include benchmarks. Make certain you receive proofs prior to the programming so the development phase of your website sets sail in the right direction.  One of my strategic marketing friends Vincent Jackson with whom I've partnered on several projects calls this a "Brief" outline of your website goal and descriptions of necessary content. 

If you need any questions answered or information explained in greater detail, please call Oevae or comment on this article. It's normal that you allow a design agency or marketing firms like Oevae.com one or two days to produce your Web Development Agreement which should be easy to understand and in a language you truly understand on a single page. Keep a signed copy with your design company's signature to help secure your investment and avoid web design disasters.
