Focused Content
Among the most important SEO factors is the website’s written content. It needs to be easy to read, clearly state its purpose and ultimately answer questions that viewers may have. As Google’s webmaster guidelines say, “Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines.”

Importance of Keywords
A part of creating content for a small business website is identifying keywords that searchers are likely to use to find a company like yours. It’s important not to overstuff the pages, but to also use a variety of keywords to give the site the best chance of being found.

Update Your Site Regularly
Search engines are designed to answer questions posed by searchers. To do so, they look for helpful content all over the web. By regularly posting articles and blogs that have information likely sought by potential customers, your website will rank near the top of results.

Play the Long Game
It’s important to understand that utilizing new SEO tactics does not necessarily provide instant gratification. In fact, a new website can take a month or more to find its way to the top of search results, even with excellent SEO tactics in place.
