SEO, Search Engine Optimization is defined as, “the process of maximizing the number of visitors to a particular website by ensuring that the site appears high on the list of results returned by a search engine.” For the most part, this is true. (In a nutshell, but using a combination of tools from keywords, content, and other factors that can help you rank well on search engines) For the regular Joe out there, SEO is the process that can help you “get found on Google.”
Any good party planner knows that before the guests arrive, it’s essential to have an event space that is fully prepared. That means having the punch bowl filled (and already spiked), the balloons ready to fall from the ceiling, the snack table is setup according to all dietary restrictions, etc. You know at the end of the night, it will be scraped clean, but that means you did a good job setting up your party. In the case of SEO, you are the party planner, your website is the event space and search engines are your guests. So, before you start looking to pull traffic, make sure your website’s SEO is in order so it’s ready for search engines.
To get you started, read this guide that explains the basics of SEO. Then, structure your site (titles, and more), by following these 12 ultimate SEO tips. Afraid of getting lost in the SEO maze? We have just the solution: you can receive a tailor-made guide from the Wix SEO Wiz. The Wiz will create a step-by-step plan designed to help you improve your site’s SEO – and, it’s all for free. This means, ensuring your headings are properly set, your page keywords are on point and that you’ve added alt-text to your images. The latter of which is far too often overlooked. You know the Wiz is good when even Google is talking about it: “For the Wix users, this [Wix SEO Wiz] is a pretty cool experience because they can see their page in the search results immediately after they have created it.”
Possibly the best part about SEO is the fact that it is absolutely free. Yes, there are plenty of services you can pay for to “optimize your SEO” but the people behind these services aren’t doing anything you can’t do yourself. The internet is rife with resources to help you learn a thing or 20 about SEO, and the Wix Blog is a great place to start.
A great SEO setup out of the gate is like studying for a test you already knew you were going to ace. You’ll look good either way. Just remember that, like Rome, your website’s ranking won’t be built in a day. Although the tips are 100% sure, it takes time to apply and consistency in your efforts, by regularly uploading fresh and quality content to your site. Patience is the (key)word here.
