Step 5 for improving your site’s search engine ranking

The 5th step for improving your site’s search engine ranking is the actual content on the pages of your site.

Make sure the content of your site is sprinkled with the words and phrases you want people to use to find you. Simply mix in relevant words and phrases so that the overall readability of the page is preserved while maintaining a consistent theme and message. Avoid stuffing your pages with keywords just for the sake of having them there.

Let’s take the two following paragraphs as examples

Nightingale Nursing Home provides a link between you, your home and your independence. It is our desire to exceed your expectations by assisting, educating and providing the means necessary to enable you to stay in a familiar environment. Our professional caring staff will aid you in regaining and maintaining your independence.

… this could be changed to …

Nightingale Nursing Home is a home health care agency that links you, your home, and your independence. It is our desire to exceed your home nursing care expectations by assisting, educating and providing the means necessary to enable you to stay in a familiar environment. Our professional and caring healthcare staff will aid you in regaining and maintaining your independence.

Notice the addition of “home health care agency”, “home nursing”, and “healthcare.” The meaning of the paragraph is preserved without excessively using any one key phrase.

Now Let’s Review All 5 Steps:

• First, examine the words in the title bar on each page of your website. Are they useful and relevant?
• Second, examine the Meta Tags on each web page. Are you using them? What do they contain?
• Third, look at the image ALT tags on your website. Are they sitting blank and unused?
• Fourth, look at the contents of your Heading tags on your site. Good use of the words or not?
• Finally, look at the actual content on the pages of your site. Are you using words that people search for and using words that qualify your visitor as someone who is ready to buy your product or service?

I hope this information is helpful.

Thank you and I wish you much success!
