Search Engines Optimization (SEO)
Introduction
SEO is the process of attracting and keeping customers by providing them with relevant information. It's more than just keywords, it's a combination of many important factors.
Do your keyword research: what terms are your customers using to search for your products or services?
The next step in your SEO strategy is to do keyword research. This will help you determine what keywords your customers are using when they search for products or services that match yours.
You can find out what keywords are being used by looking at Google AdWords, which shows how often a specific term appears in paid searches on Google. You can also use tools like SEM Rush, Ahrefs and Moz's Keyword Explorer tool (all of which we'll discuss later in this post).
Create relevant content: provide unique, valuable and original content that people want to read and link to.
The first thing to remember is that content is king. In fact, it's the cornerstone of your website and what makes your site unique. When people come to your site looking for something specific, they will likely find it by reading quality content on your page. This means that you need to make sure the information on each page is relevant and valuable enough for people to want to link back from one page (or even all of them) into another section of their own websites or social media accounts.
It's also important not only how much time we spend creating high-quality content but also how often we do so—and when! If you don't update regularly enough or don't feel like writing anything at all anymore then this can result in decreased traffic because people won't know about new things happening around town or even just within our organization itself!
Publish new content regularly: make sure you have a consistent schedule of new content being published on your website.
You should be publishing new content on your website at least twice a week. This is not to say that you should publish every day, but it's important that you have a consistent schedule of new content being published on your website.
One way to ensure that you're keeping up with this schedule is by using a content calendar and scheduling out what days in the future will have new posts posted on them (e.g., Monday through Thursday). This way, if something comes up during any given week where there isn't time for writing or editing right away (like vacation), those posts can still be scheduled for those days later down the road!
Optimize your pages for search engines and users alike: think about the words users would type to find the pages on your site.
The most effective way to optimize your pages for search engines and users alike is to use the words that users themselves would type to find the page, especially if you are targeting specific keywords. You can use these keywords in the title, description and/or first 100 words of each page. You should also consider using them in the URL (the address of your site).
For example: If you have an FAQ page on your website with "How do I start my journey?" as one of its questions, make sure you include this phrase somewhere on it so that people who go through Google will see it when they search for something related.
Make the website mobile friendly (responsive design): Google started giving a ranking boost to mobile-friendly websites in April 2015.
You should make your website responsive design. Responsive design means that the site is optimized for mobile devices, which means it loads faster, looks better in a small screen and is easier to use on a smartphone or tablet.
These benefits can be seen immediately when you visit a responsive site:
Mobile-friendly sites load faster because they're built with technologies that work well across all types of devices (including desktops), so there's less time spent waiting for pages to load before you begin interacting with them. It also helps reduce bounce rate — users who leave your page within 3 seconds are probably not coming back again soon!
Attract backlinks from high quality websites: attract natural links from people who like and trust your site.
To attract backlinks from high-quality websites, you should use social media to find relevant websites to link to yours. You can use a tool like BuzzSumo to find popular content on your topic and also Ahrefs or Majestic Moz.
You can also use backlink monitoring tools such as Open Site Explorer (OSE) or Majestic SEO's Penguin Toolkit that allow you to monitor all links pointing at your site and get alerts when there are any changes in them (link removal, link addition, etc.).
Use social media marketing wisely: publish links to your posts on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn, and other social networks - but don't over-promote yourself with constant links.

If you have a consistent schedule of new content being published on your website, it’s best to keep that in place even when you are inactive on any given day. This will help ensure that people know what they can expect from you as an author and publisher.
Focus on converting visitors into customers with effective calls-to-action (CTAs) on every page of your site.
A CTA is the last thing a visitor sees before leaving your site. It should be clear and concise, relevant to their interests, and placed in a prominent position on the page.
For example: “Start free trial” vs “Sign up now”
Create an online community of loyal fans through newsletters and email marketing
You can use email marketing to build a loyal community of fans.
You should send out newsletters or other types of communications that keep your customers informed about what you offer and how they can get more of it. Give them exclusive content and discounts, ask for feedback on products or services, and respond to any questions they have in a timely manner. Be consistent with your communications so people know when something new is coming out—and feel comfortable that it’s coming from someone who cares about their business as much as they do!
