“Hints” from GoogleTips: Be specific Use geo-targeted words Explore topics of interest Consider common problems
of your market Keyword research dictates
content
Research: Keywords
Remember that prospects will see/hear your message offline, and go online to learn more. Be sure to use the same keywords across channels.
Search engines only know what you’re about from the text you use. They aren’t very intuitive.
Semantics: Offline, users see an image and know that senior=elderly. Online, you have to help the search engines understand that senior=elderly and not executive or high school or college. You do this by the other words you use in proximity
Keywords: Traditional vs. Digital
CompetitionOnline = Top ranking websites for your keywordsOffline = May be different
Competitor’s Social Media SitesWhat social sites do they use?Are users engaged?
Evaluate Competitor’s ContentWhat keywords do they use?What makes them unique?What are they doing that you can do different or
better?What specials do they offer?
Research: Competition
Google – allintitle:keyword Measures level of online competition, so you know what keywords
to target Helps you set realistic ranking goals Target more specific, less competitive phrases first
Research: Competition (advanced tip)

Understanding how the search engines work will help you understand how to optimize for them.

Understanding How the Engines Work
Traditional vs. Digital
In traditional we only have one view to consider – the end user. In digital, we have to consider the end user AND the search engine.
This is why keywords are so important, as well as other technical considerations that the user doesn’t see.
Understanding How the Engines Work
Universal & Personalized Search
Universal Search Different types of content can rank Build and optimize different types of content
to increase your reach Do some searches for your keywords to
determine what other type of content is ranking
Most likely: Maps, Places, and Blogs
Personalized Search Affected by your physical location Affected by recent queries Affected by search history Affected by settings in your Google account (5
% - 25% of your traffic may be from users who were logged into Google account while searching)
Optimization: The SEO Balance
• Technical • Content• Links
Technical
Corporate handles most of the technical details on the back end
What you can control:Title tagsMeta tags
Optimization: Technical
General Guidelines Title tags and Meta tags should be unique on every page,
relevant to the page topic, and only use words from that page Meta keywords tag
ignored by all engines so use of it won’t help it will only be recognized if you use it incorrectly then it will
hurt you Title Tag: main keyword + location | business name | more
keywords Meta Description: info about more services / keywords,
PHONE NUMBER, and location info
Optimization: Technical
Optimization: Technical
Technical: Google Webmaster Tools
Technical: Bing Webmaster ToolsBing.com/webmaster
Content
Duplicate Content Considerations Filter, not a penalty Templated content = protects your brand Localized content = adds local element, increases ratio of unique
site content Add unique content, custom pages, localized info, etc.
SemanticsKeywords should appear consistently per page throughout
various tagsFocus on USPPromo page: Don’t delete when promo is over. If page is indexed
and then deleted, users could end up on an error page from a search. Solution: Add message “This promotion has expired but please stay tuned for the next promotion”

Local Search: Be Consistent
Local Search: Positive Review Strategy
• First and Foremost: Be confident that you already provide a quality service worth reviewing.
• Preliminary market research offline using traditional methods to determine current reputation.
• Fix if needed.• Then go online.
• Google reads reviews on other sitesAngie’s List, Foursquare, YelpClaim and optimize your listing on those sites as well
• Ask for a review in person• “My boss reads our online reviews and it would help me out…”• “Please leave a compliment for your in-home provider here…”
• Add link from site to review sites• Add review suggestion on print materials• What sites are your competitors getting reviewed on? Get reviews
there as well.• Tailor approach to customer base
Local Search: Positive Review Strategy
• Do not pay for reviews, or offer money, product or service• Google says don’t do it• It cheapens the relationship• If you provide a quality service, you shouldn’t have to
pay• Do not fake reviews
Local Search: Positive Review Strategy
What if I get a bad review?• It’s an opportunity to make it right• It happens to everyone, don’t panic• Start offline, try to fix it• Make a public response online to invite them to let you fix
the problem• Don’t be emotional. Be polite. Be an adult.• Publicly respond to online reviews with notice that you’ve
fixed the problem. This is an opportunity to improve reputation.
• No one is perfect. 5 Star companies with only all reviews look fake. More trust in a company who is slightly “human”.
• When all else fails, you may be able to delete the review on some sites
