If you get your content right, you\u2019ve created a solid foundation to support all of your other SEO efforts. Ask yourself, are you producing quality content? Do you provide a reason for people to spend more than a few seconds reading your pages?<span id=\"more-16099\"><\/span>\u00a0Do you offer something of substance to visitors, something useful and that they won\u2019t find elsewhere? <!--more-->These are just some of the questions to ask yourself in assessing whether you\u2019re providing quality content. This is not the place to skimp since it is the cornerstone upon which nearly all other factors depend.<\/p>\n<h4>Keywording<\/h4>\n<p>The most important SEO factor after creating good content is good keyword research. There are a variety of tools that help you discover the specific ways that people may be searching for your content. You want to create content using those keywords, the actual search terms people are using, so you can produce content that effectively \u201canswers\u201d that query. You should be mindful to use the right language \u2013 content too full of technical jargon may cause a search engine to skip or not rank that page highly. For a medical example, a person trying to research treatment options is more likely to search for \u201cdepression medication\u201d than \u201cmonoamine oxidase inhibitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Local Search<\/h4>\n<p>There are two ways that Google ranks your business for local search, relevance and distance. It\u2019s very important that your business information should always be detailed and accurate to maximize your relevancy to new clients. You can\u2019t control how far you are away from a new client, but Google favors relevancy. If your business is more likely to have what a searcher is, Google will rank it higher in local results. If a user doesn\u2019t specify a location, Google will calculate distance based on what\u2019s known about their location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content It\u2019s no secret that content is number-one when it comes to SEO success.
