5. Remember that SEO simply takes times<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOk so this isn’t much of a hack and isn’t something you probably want to hear, but the truth is SEO simply takes time. I have some awful blogs posts from my ‘early days’ which continue to rank better than more recent ones – why? – because they are simply older. They’ve been crawled by the bots more, they’ve been visited more over the longer period and so they simply get traffic and have crept up the search result rankings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am sure you have searched for something and found that one of the page 1 results is from 2016! You can assess this and decide it is outdated, but every time someone clicks on it and scans the information (before deciding that perhaps they need something more up-to-date) …Or not! Remember that articles and blog content can be pretty much evergreen content and hence why they are so valuable. This longevity adds to an older pages or posts ‘scores’ for authority and trustworthiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also wanted to mention this as my 5th hack because it is something that can be really depressing when you launch a new business and\/or a new website, especially with a brand new domain name\/URL. You have to be patient. This fact also reinforces that you want to focus on your customer and what they need, i.e. good content on a quality website which shows off your business in the best way. Again, it is why you should focus on your priority keywords, like your business name and main service or products in headings, and use long tail keywords\/questions in blogs to start with. It is also why you should focus on the little extras you can do to help increase traffic from your social media platforms and inviting potential customers to visit directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more visitors you get…the more people explore your website…the more search engine bots will notice you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
