Common Questions
How can I get listed high in search engines if I don't have a lot of content to for my brand new site? The answer is provided here straight from the horse's mouth and here in understandable terms. Most web designers will tell you its all about keywords integrated into your text content, but that is misleading. With a site that has a great deal of text content, this would be the way to go, but most new sites start off with very little text content. There are SEO Wordpress plugins that will help you format your text and give you suggestions on how to format your website to maximize your ranking and that will take care of most of your content SEO; but there are other things you can do for your new website, that will maximize your SEO. Like getting a domain name with optimized keywords within it or choosing a reputable hosting company that doesn't have a bad rep for hosting spammers.
I want to market my business like an established big business, how do I do that? You don't. All big businesses started somewhere, and unless you can bankroll with established businesses, your marketing has to take on a more grassroots approach. Using social media to market your website is the absolute best way to market your brand. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Linkedin to name a few. This along with using a blog on your website, can build interest in your products and services with no out of pocket expense.
I don't feel comfortable with Blogging. Is that the only way to get new content to my website? Most web designers will tell you that they can write this content for you, and that's an option. But blogging is really not difficult at all, but more a matter of perspective. You cant compare yourself to professional bloggers, they do it for a living. Instead, look at it as giving your opinion. We've written a short blog about how us normal folks go about this. It basically boils down to tailgating or writing an opinion about an article someone else wrote. It that way you don't have to worry about the content, just your opinion, and then inserting those SEO keywords into you blog.
