The single reason businesses optimize their web pages is to attract more customers! Optimization allows search engines such as Google and Yahoo to find the business website when customers are seeking information about the product or service provided by your company. Getting your information into the customer’s view during the point in the buying process where purchase decisions are made greatly enhances the chances of earning a new customer.

Actually optimizing the business web page can be a daunting task however. Hiring an SEO consultant can get the job done, but can also cost real dollars a start up or new business may not have. Even if the enterprise chooses to bring in an SEO consultant or coordinator, the business owner should understand the basic methods that person will be using to bring the business page to the top of the search engine results.

SEO Consultants in Denver have used this simple five step framework with great success. Here is a quick overview.

On Page Modifications – Finding or identifying meaningful words and phrases that describe the business and page content that consumers would also use in searching for information is a difficult chore. However identification of these terms and phrases (keywords) is essential as these are the terms that the search engines will use to understand what the business website is about.

After the keywords and phrases are identified, they should be installed on the site in the title, the headlines and used throughout the on page content or text. Using the keywords throughout the text should not be ‘overdone’ though, as search engines can view this as something called “keyword stuffing.” The search engines frown on such behavior, so only use the keywords in the text as you would use them in normal conversation.

Investing time in learning keyword selection and modifying keywords if the original ones do not generate the results you need is time well-spent. Keyword selection really is a business art form requiring understanding of language, communication and customer behavior.

Off Page Optimization – This part of the SEO effort focuses effort on setting links from other sites that direct traffic and attention back to the business website. The term “Off Page” refers to the part of the process that takes place outside the business web environment though, and this is where most SEO effort is required. In summary, the “Off Page” methods simply let internet readers know what your website is about and where to find it. There are four tasks to this effort:

Blogging Articles Site Submission Direct Outreach

Blogging – Information gained by reading blogs in the business subject area is valuable. Setting a link back to the business website by commenting on other blogs is also quite valuable. These links are viewed as ‘votes’ for the business website. To enhance the value the business gets from leaving a blog comment, label the link you leave (usually by using this in the Username portion of the comment form) using one of your short keyword terms.

Articles – Writing articles for publication on the internet is a time consuming process, but the benefits can be significant. Establishing the company or individual’s name as an author also builds business credibility. And by including or embedding a link to the business website within an article, a network of back links can greatly help attract more traffic as well as improve search engine ranking. Articles need not be long. A 500 word piece can be extremely effective if distributed to article publishing sites within your business niche.

Site Submission – search engines generally allow the page owner to submit the site so that the search engine will look for it, and display the page when appropriate searches are run. Google and Yahoo accept these submissions, so search for the submission sites, leave your URL and the engines should send out their respective robots to research your page.

Direct Outreach – also takes a little more time, but essentially requires contacting other blog or page owners to post a link or article on their site that directs readers to the business page. Interestingly, many websites are dying for new, fresh content, so if you respectfully ask to publish one of your pieces on another’s site, the other blog or site owner frequently responds positively.

Search Engine Optimization involves a host of other activities and processes as well, but these five are where the greatest results are achieved.
