Any mistakes to avoid and what should be done instead.

Thanks so much.

If you go to YouTube and look for Eldar’s videos, there is a whole series of tips.

Saw a site with a presentation of all “levers” in the algorithm of the Google bot ; from what I remember, briefly among (there are others levers i don’t remember) the most important :

  • Keywords in Domain (www.great-bakery-dallas.com) as in url structure (www.domain.com/bakery-dallas etc) - that has no sens for a well known or original brand off course…
  • Structuration of pages : H1 titles, H2, H3, p, etc. In fact well respecting the edition standards (it must be consistent for the bots), with a little tips : optimising placement of pertinents Keywords in Hn titles (as bolding some pertinent words)
  • Content of Metas of course (careful not to reapeat to much same keywords between Tags and description, even more with body text as in code)

And less important as more “technical”

  • Keywords in code your Divs as Span as Classes names (better a “shopA-bakery-nameofcity” class for a container that treat about its presentation than a “container-blocX” class as eg)

Not SEO

  • Netlinking : Gbot “considers” thats a site that has links to it is logically a site that has interest (but also “underestand” when abuse with plenty empty shells with a negative evaluation then.
  • Updates : Gbot “considers” that frequently updates mean that the website is “serious” and not a ghost empty shell

By “pertinent” i mean : susceptible to be used by the “prospects” of the site in Google etc.

Sorry for reviving this thread. Has anyone had any luck with SEO? Is it worth it?

If you want your website to be picked up on search engines…then yes!!!

Up to you though! Do you want people to see what you do? Or want to keep the front door chain up!

Choice is yours….but I’d always say yes!

This article by Gerrid Smith is pretty useful. It describes how to do local SEO, content creation and keyword search.
