1.Make friends online
Partnerships on the Internet are more important than ever. It is always better to get others saying good things about you and trying to promote your website in any way they can. Having an influencer who is an expert on your subject matter and with a big following can take you many places.
2.Develop a content-marketing strategy
As we have previously mentioned, content-marketing is only a small part of the whole package. SEO can depend alot on how your business goes about its content, because that will affect your organic search. It needs to be diversified among videos, webinars, white papers, and social media posts. The use and choice of keywords become Google‘s best friend.
3.Generate traffic to your site and pages
Another way to get people to link to you is by writing for a large publication, giving video or written interviews and always recommend your content in networking events and to your surroundings. If this feels overwhelming and there is an additional budget to spend, you can hire an agency that will do the work for you.
4.A mobile-ready website
Not only do you now need a beautifully-designed website that is user friendly, but it also needs to be adapted to smartphones. You’d be in deep trouble with organic search if people cannot view your website on their mobile device. Laptop computers and desktop are not used as often anymore, and people want faster access to information.
5.Https
Going more towards the security and technical side, it is recommended websites now add the ‘s’ to their URL. Google wants businesses’ websites to start with https:// so that they are more secure and will get better rankings on the search engine.
6.Schema.org
This is a type of markup that can be used in your website’s coding. Using that ‘code’, you can tell Google to identify your website’s logo, client reviews, videos as well as other important info. Google previously mentioned that using that code will also help optimization rankings in the near future.
