Why Keyword Research, Google Analytics And SEO Just About Kicked My Professional Ass
Keywords are words or phrases that the search engines look for across the entire web that match as closely as possible to the words or phras
“Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
These categories serve as only examples of some of the topics I have written about recently.
Because of the extent of research I put into each blog post or article, I am able to write intelligent, effective pieces on just about any subject matter and with the topic's appropriate tone, keeping the target audience in mind.
EACH BLOG POST IS CHECKED FOR:
Uniqueness and Grabbiness of Headline
Does First Sentence Grab Reader
Is Tone In Line With Website/Client
Does Blog Present One Idea Clearly
Do Organization and Flow Make Reading Enjoyable
Is Keyword Goal Reached
Are Keywords Placed Logically And To Not Interrupt Flow
Are Photos/Graphics Appealing and Well Placed
Are Sources Cited Correctly
​
Is Call To Action Clear
​
Are Outgoing Links Provided
​
Are All Photos/Graphics Labeled For SEO
​​​
Does Blog End Upbeat and Likely To Envoke Action
​
Any Client Specific Preferences
A BLOG POST'S SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON 4 KEY ELEMENTS:
It must contain the optimal choice of keywords to enable potential visitors to find it. This is a somewhat intuitive process based on choosing words that are not the obvious ones already bought up by the large organizations in your industry and with which it would not behoove you to compete. Rather, it is finding the secondary, organic, (free) keywords that will still be entered into search engines by hundreds of thousands of your potential customers and allow your site, based on these keywords, to be pulled up on the first page of a Google search.
Your blog post, once found, must then be written about fresh, interesting, significant news concerning your product or service, and it must provide the reader a reason to continue reading and return to your site again.
The blog post should also be written in a way that establishes or "brands" you as an industry expert. This is your chance to differentiate yourself from the competition by showing your knowledge, expertise and desire to educate and inform your customers.
​
The blog post should also be written persuasively, without being pushy or obvious, so that it moves the reader toward a commitment to purchase your product or service or engage further with your company in the manner you desire.
