SEO For Dummies: Our Top 10 Onsite SEO Tips

Are you looking to improve the rank of your website in Google and other search engine results? Then you need SEO.

Search Engine Optimisation or SEO for short, are a group of techniques that are used to help boost your visibility to search engines, like Google, for specific keyword phrases.

If you are a little tech savvy and have access to edit your website, then here are our Top 10 suggested Onsite SEO tips:

1. Keywords. If you are just starting out, pick low competition keywords.
2. Edit your Title Tags to include your keywords - no more that 70 characters!
3. Add Meta Descriptions to all your pages. Strictly speaking, not SEO, but useful to show more information in search results.
4. Use Headings and other style to emphasise keywords. Make it obvious what your page is about.
5. Add alternate text attributes to your images to again emphasise your keywords.
6. Add title attributes to your links - repetition of your keywords.
7. Blog! Add one, write one - just keep the content coming.
8. Social Media - allow people to share your content.
9. Get a Google+ account and claim authorship of your content. Google trusts the content more if you have a registered Google account.
10. Put your company on the map - The Google Map. Often a quick way to get onto Page 1 of search results with little effort.
