When done right, search engine optimization (or SEO) dramatically improves your website's ranking in Google searches and Google's images category.
Here are our top tips for SEO:
1. KEYWORDS - Utilize both high-ranking and low-ranking keywords in your content (just like you would with hashtags on Instagram) and make sure you consider long-tail keywords too!
2. META DESCRIPTION - A meta description is an HTML tag that provides a brief description of the content on a webpage. It appears in search engine search results and is a critical component of good SEO. A good meta description:
🔍 is between 120 - 155 characters long.
🔍 concise description with keywords.
🔍 uses an active voice and is actionable.
🔍 includes a CTA.
🔍 matches the content of your page.
🔍 is unique to your page.
2. IMAGE TEXT - Add Alt Text to every image. This is just as searchable as text content! When adding Alt Text, remember to:
📸 Name your image properly. Give it a description, and tell the viewer what it's about.
📸 Include your business name, service name, or product name in alt text.
📸 Resize images to the correct display dimensions.
📸 Compress images. Loading time and speed optimization is important, the web will penalize you if it takes too long to load.
📸 Select the correct file format.
📸 Implement "lazy loading" via your website.
3. LINK TO OTHER WEBSITES - This is not a bad thing! It helps to build your online trust if you link to trustworthy relevant sites that can help your audience. Link to other websites/social from your website with relevant content.
4. SOCIAL SIGNALS - Use other social media platforms to help boost your SEO.
5. AUDIT - Do an annual Content and SEO audit to make sure you're on track!
