10 Tips for Improving Your Online Visibility
Ten tips for improving your online visibility.
Here are some tips on how you can improve your business's online visibility by yourself
- Claim your Local Business Listing
Claim your business listings on search engines and local search sites to get better ranking in search results, to be sure customers get the right information about your business, and to avoid having your listing hijacked.
- Make sure your business appears in the right categories
Most directories (IYPs and other local directories) and search engine categorize business according to the business name and it is often the case that a business is categorized in the wrong category. Assign as many relevant categories as possible to your business to attract customers.
- Include product / service keywords in your local business listing title
This will help customers find your business more easily on search engines.
- Update your full and accurate address on all local search sites and on your website
Make it easier for customers to find you. Also, a full and accurate address generates a sense of trust for both customers and for search engines.
- Create a clean, coherent website with content that targets your keywords
Your website is the face of your business – use a clean, unified design to show your business is well organized, and make your site simple to use. Your site content should be localized and it should incorporate relevant business keywords.
- Add or verify your business listing with data providers for search engines
Search engines and local search sites use data providers (e.g. InfoUSA, Localeze, InsiderPages, MerchantCircle, etc.) and it's very important that you update their listing of your business.
- Get your customers to write online reviews about your business
Many customers look for objective reviews before they decide where to spend their money. Online reviews of your business can also contribute to your ranking on search engines as they form another appearance of your business online.
- Engage your customers online on user review sites such as Yelp
Create more "buzz" around your business. You will also see what your customers have to say about you and how you can improve your business.
- Use social networks such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter to stay in touch with customers and attract new customers
Use these sites to form a community for your business – this is a good way to communicate with existing customers, advertise sales or specials, and a good way to be visible to potential customers.
