Here are some basic Search Engine Optimizations pointers to help the search engines rank you higher. If you right click on your web page you’ll see a menu that comes up. Click view source and you’ll see the HTML code. This is what I’m referring to here.
All you have to do is change the code, save your file, and upload it back to your website with an FTP software.
1. The <title> tag must contain the main keyword phrase for which you are optimizing that page. Use phrases like “carpet cleaning, cleaning, tile, rug, your city name, etc.” Google in particular places heavy emphasis on what is in your page’s <title> tag. So does MSN. (Your web master may help you out here)
2. The <meta> keyword tag will contain your key word phrases for the specific page you are on:
<meta name=”keywords” content=”your keyword phrase1, keyword phrase 2, etc.”>
Don’t make this more than about 250 characters long. Don’t use the same key word more than three times in it. Vary the capitalization. Don’t use all capital letters unless the word is an acronym.
3. Put a keyword phrase in your Heading.
These “headings” make your browser display the text larger and set it aside from the rest of the text, on its own line. Search engines will look for and index your headings when they index the pages on your site, so our headings should ALSO contain the main key word phrases for our site, like this:
<h1>Your Keyword Phrase</h1> A good keyword to place here is your city name to like <h1>Pensacola, FL</h1>
4. Use Key Words in Your Text.
Your optimized page should contain TEXT of at least 250 words, with the key word phrase “Main Keyword Phrase” occurring a couple of times near the beginning of the text. If a page doesn’t contain at least 250 words, some search engines won’t bother to index it. It’s preferable to have 500 words or more if possible, on a page. You’ll get better results from the search engines if you have more text.
This is quick and simple SEO tactics that you can use to keep the search engines on track with you site. (They work for me!)
If you don’t have a website for you carpet cleaning business, you can have one for as little as $97. For $97 you can use the template from my site and do all the changes yourself. Or, if you would like me to do the changes for you (you provide all the copy and pics), I can do it for an additional $200. Your site will be modeled after my cleaning company site: www.CarpetCareTips.com
So for only $297 you can have your own website and have it optimized by one of the best search engine optimizers for carpet cleaners that there is (that’s me…sorry to brag, but I’ve pretty much got this optimization thing down). Email me John@hitmanadvertising.com
