How do you achieve that?

  • Research keywords for your content and use them in your title and first paragraph.
  • Grab your reader’s attention with interesting titles. It has been proved that titles that include numbers receive more clicks than those that start with “how to”.
  • In the meta description include your keywords but also use it to list the benefits of your business, if it is a blog post use it to tell your readers what they will learn from it.
  • Use images, readers like them, and don´t forget to include an alternative text for each one. Search engines will understand them better and will rank your page higher.
  • Internal links: Many times, people focus on having links with sources or other websites, but for SEO, the links to your site are as important. They’re also the perfect way to make your visitors spend more time on your page.

Social media is a fundamental tool to keep in touch with your clients. In a way, they’re your presentation card and it can determine to attract or repel people to your website. Make posts with images and hashtags that are fun to share, and keep a link to your site where people can see it.
