Keywords

Before the application or discussion of any SEO techniques, one must know the importance of Keywords. A “Keyword” is basically the word/s a visitor might use to search for your targeted product or service.

Some DIY techniques for a successful Local SEO are as follows:

1.

Finding the right keywords:

Use tools like Google Keyword Planner for you and your competitor’s website/s for a list of most suitable Keywords for you.

Ask your Customers or Visitors either face to face, or in the form of a survey that what are the Keywords they searched for or would search for while looking for your Product/Service or a similar one.

1.

Optimizing your On-Page content:

Title Tag must be crisp, including your main Keywords, as it’s the most important part of SEO. The first 64 characters of it are picked up by a Google search result as a Click-Through Link.

Meta Tags help your audience, to be re-directed to your Page from the search results. Keep the Meta Tag descriptions short, i.e., under 100-140 characters, including 1-3 Keywords relevant to the landing page’s content.

H1 Tag is the header of the Page. You should have only one H1 Tag, which is self-explanatory of the page’s content and catches the visitor’s attention.

Alt Tags are relevant keywords in image filenames and their mouse-over descriptions.
