Introduction

If your business is not already on Google's first page for a relevant keyword, it is a great time to start

with your search engine optimization (SEO). Here we present the most important (and easy) tips that

you can apply immediately. We go through search habits, domains, URLs, links and other factors that

determine your visibility on Google. Read and learn!

Everything you need to know about SEO

� Examine your customers search habits

Use Google External Keyword Tool service (it's free) to find out exactly what your customers are

looking for. Pick out the keywords and phrases, and build your site's search engine optimization on

these facts.

� Choose the right domain and addresses

It is very important that your main keyword appear in the domain name. If this is not possible, it is

smart to create sub-pages that have your main keywords in the name, such as

yourdomain.com/product-in-location/. Make sure your website has a Top Level Domain (TLD) ending

with either .com, .eu or a country specific.

� Rename everything right

Make sure the page settings harmonize with the keywords you want to appear on. Your main

keyword should appear in the "Title", "H1-H4", "Meta Description" and in natural positions in the

main content. Remember to make each webpage unique, many people make the mistake of having

the same settings on the entire site.

� Put your business on the map

Register your business to Google Maps, enter relevant keywords and you can end up on the map as

many times end up top in Google search results. This is free.

� Links are crucial

The pages at the top positions in the search engines almost always have good and many inbound

links pointing to their site. You cannot only get links by signing up to various online directories and by

sharing materials in social media.

Other ways to get links is to get blogs to write about your business with a link to your site, or to

exchange links with reputable sites that are relevant.

If possible, make sure that the links you receive contains your most important keywords. It is much

better for your ranking if it says "Product in location" as the link text instead of "click here".

Another smart way to get inbound links is to allow other sites to reuse your content, as long as they

report the source with a clear link.

� Do not forget the internal links

The internal links on your site should be renamed correctly and clearly with relevant keywords – then

Google understand that your page is relevant in this context.

� Do not forget a sitemap

A good sitemap links to all of your site's pages, this helps Google to index all pages on your site.

Name your “sitemap.xml” or “sitemap.html” if you want visitors to easily navigate your site. This is a

very important tip!

� Smart content

A site with interesting content will always get more links and recommendations, leading to more

visitors and customers. Share expert tips, charts, news and similar on your site. Remember that all

your content must be unique, Google will notice immediately if you "borrowed" someone else's

content and then punishes your site. A smart way to get a more unique content is to let visitors share

their knowledge, such as a forum, comments or guest posts.

� Be active in forums, blogs and social media

Write in forums, comment on blogs and take part of the dialogue in social media to create interest,

links and visitors. Remember not to sell directly in these channels. Those who are most successful are

often those who share the most relevant content.

� Working with images and videos

All images on your site should be renamed with relevant keywords and "Alt-tagged '. If possible, we

recommend that you also have videos on your site, which also renamed with your main keywords in

mind. Google often provides relevant videos high status in search results.

� Translate to other languages

If you have ambitions to acquire foreign customers (or customers who do not speak your own) you

should write the content in other languages. Do not use Google Translate or other automated

translation service, it is well worth it! This may not be the first thing you should do - but it's relevant

to your business to take up new markets.

� Update constantly

Google likes sites that constantly update their content. An easy way to do this is to have a blog or

news where you share useful and great tips and news from your industry or business. Do not forget

internal linking between related materials.

� Keep track of statistics

You can easily keep track of everything that happens on your site using tools such as Google Analytics

(free). Here you can see exactly how your visitors behave, where they come from and how they react

to changes on your site. Use these facts to continually test and monitor improvements.

� Build a widget

If you have a site with interesting content there is certainly more who want to take part of it. Build a

"widget" that provides the main material from your site that other sites can use to get the relevant

content. A good and useful "widget" can provide many links and do not really contain much more

than news from your site. (add our RSS feed on your site; http://seo-iberica./rss/)
