Balancing SEO and a Positive Experience for Your User

It’s a dilemma that faces all website owners – do you design your site with all the right text and incorporate the necessary keywords and phrases for search engine optimization (SEO) to help you place on page one of a Google, Bing Yahoo search, or do you focus on a user-friendly, graphically pleasing website that encourages your site visitor to stay awhile and take in your message? 

You might think you’re caught in a catch-22.  You might have heard that if you don’t end up on page 1  of the search engine rankings, your intended user is never going to find your site.  However, if your pages are poorly written, graphically overloaded, cluttered, difficult to navigate, or simply unappealing visually, the visitors you do attract aren’t going to hang around long enough  to read what you’ve got to say.  So either you’ve lost a potential customer, or you’ve never gotten the chance to make your pitch.  Either way you lose. 

Does it have to be one or the other?  The good news is that it is possible to have both a user-friendly site and high effective SEO by incorporating  all the elements necessary to aid in high search engine rankings as well as produce a beautiful website that is inviting and user-friendly.   Eye-catching graphics, well-written copy, beautiful photos, ease of site navigation – these are just some of the elements our company uses to produce effective and productive websites for our customers.  And we can do that without cluttering up your site, which can hurt your SEO efforts

We can combine the necessary technical elements to bring visitors to your site from the search engine results, and with a well-designed site we can help you keep them there and develop their interest into action. 

SEO and a user-friendly site – you CAN have both.  Call Essential Services today at (651) 342-4000 to find out how.

Researching the best keywords | Internet Marketing Company Minneapolis

 Like an intra-venous line hooked up to a bed ridden patient, key words are a part of the life-blood of an effective website and the capacity to drive online traffic to your business. Proper key word research will help keep a steady supply of web site visitors coming to your site, and give you the ranking you need to stay on top in your field. Naturally, finding the right keywords is what it is all about.

Finding keywords is not just a matter of thinking of what you believe might attract people to you, although this helps, using the right tools and services can help assure that you have selected the “right” keywords and will rank in a way that  helps you to grow your business. 

First things first: Contact our  Seo Minneapolis Company :)

Research- Don’t try to brainstorm keywords. There are numerous services such as Word Tracker, and Key Word Discovery that have already done the counting. These services help you to determine how often your businesses chosen keywords are generating traffic and queries when your word is typed in. These are programs that will do some of the quantitative hard work for you, so if you are a “do it yourselfer”  make the investment and purchase a full time source to jump start your online business.

Synonyms- Locating the right variation on a word will help capture the fringe elements of your target audience. While some people might type in “Keyword research help”, others might type “Keyword research assistance”, so by incorporating several synonyms related to a certain word, you will be able to reach other potential customers out there too. Most good software packages come with this feature included.

Think- Last, but not least is- THINK, like your customer. Imagine what your client would type if they were looking for your product or service. If you are a local service provider, include your city and zip codes. Even the smallest variation of a word can reach an entirely new audience. You can find a way to put these key words in your URL, or the titles of your blogs, and many keyword rich tactics and possibilities that might grab the search engine as it flies by.

No matter what you do, make sure you are spreading yourself thin, and having key words and query  phrases on as many pages as possible is useful.  This is the best way to reach those people, who are reaching out to you. If you need help in this area, we can get the ball rolling and optimize your website from Minneapolis when ever you are ready to make the move.
