Don’t believe us? Here are 5 Reasons How SEO Benefits Small Businesses.
1. SEO Forces You to Build a Better Website
First and foremost, in order to have good SEO, you have to have a good website. Your website has to have lots of content, images, and information to give users everything they need to know.
An optimized website will have sufficient content and images for a user to read and understand. Why? The basis of SEO is for search engines to read hundreds of websites and use that information to determine which website best answers a searchers query.
Social Media, and especially Facebook, is such a large part of our world that we often don’t stop to think before posting something online. This can spell problems for both our personal and our professional accounts.
On Facebook, you can post just about anything. Of course, some things are off limits based on the Terms of Use policy. But, for the most part, you can post whatever you want.
Before you post, you should take a step back and carefully consider your post. For professional or business pages, you should be especially careful with what you post.
Use the tips below for crafting the perfect Facebook post.
Facebook Post Content
The content of your Facebook post is the part with words, the actual text portion. While this seems like the easiest part to create, there are some things you should consider first.
Length of the Post
The optimal length of a Facebook post is 40 characters.That’s right. 40. Well, some experts say up to 80 characters is ok too. That’s less than the original Tweet length. Of course, you can add up to 63,206 characters total, but you don’t want to. You want 40-80.
But, what about when you need help getting followers? Posting amazing posts regularly is great, but if no one is following you then no one is seeing your awesome posts. You need to gain those followers first.
The goal with social media is to constantly be gaining followers. You want your count to be going up, never down. That may seem obvious, but it’s easier said than done. Take a look at Techno Goober’s Facebook Follower count:
Posting on social media is a great way to gain business for your company. It’s free advertising as you reach potentially hundreds or even thousands of customers and their friends. However, posting the same stuff over and over again will get boring for your followers. Mix it up!
Knowing Your Audience
If your audience is primarily current or past customers, then advertising for new customers on your social media may be a little like preaching to the choir.
Consider posting less for new customers and post more for your current and past customers instead. You may find that your posts will reach higher engagement, more shares, and more conversion. How?
When you post what your audience wants to see, they will interact with it more. When they share that post about how fun your company is, it may attract more new customers than a post about a sale or special for the very reason that more potential new customers are seeing it.
You just started a business and are looking to develop a website for your company. What do you do now? Pick a domain name.
Your domain name is the word or phrase that users type into the search bar to visit your website. You might call it the URL (although this is slightly different).
This is everything typed after the www. It does include the .com or .org but does not include anything after the slash like /about/ or /contact/.
Investing in domain names will help your company begin developing an online presence, which will contribute to your success down the road.
We call it an investment because you don’t buy your name outright. You purchase access to it for about one year like renting a parking space in a parking garage.
When should you invest in domain names? Make sure to purchase your domain names early in your business’s lifetime. Domain names get better with time, like aged fine wine.
What if you aren’t ready to focus on online shopping or marketing? Your business will benefit from having an online presence down the road when you want it.
If you wait too long to begin establishing your online presence, your business will be playing catch-up with other brands.
When buying domains, you are investing in your online presence for many years to come. Think ahead. Use this guide to pick and purchase the perfect domain name for your business.
