Trying to handle all of the SEO (search engine optimization) for your site can be exhausting. On top of writing blog posts, keeping up with social media, and every other task, you also have to make sure that your posts are written in a way that pleases the search engines. Rather than getting overwhelmed by this monstrous task, apply these simple tweaks and watch your traffic soar.
Use the Right Keywords
It’s tempting to go after really short keywords that are exciting. These are super competitive and also rarely lead to sales. There is no benefit to ranking for a keyword that won’t generate any profits.
You want to find longer terms that people type in when they are ready to buy. This is where you will find the best bang for your buck – plus these keywords are more natural.
Using LSI keywords, you can use terms that are similar to your main term but still sound natural. Your rankings will skyrocket without you writing weird phrases over and over again.
Listen how (along with 2 more killer tricks) on today’s episode.
Key Points:
Use LSIgraph to find relevant keywords
Right longer posts
Optimize your site for mobile
