Discover How SEO Will Boost Your Online Business

For a few years now, the battle has been raging on the web. Indeed, it is one of those wars where the stakes are being placed right at the top of the search engine results. You understood it, we are talking about SEO, natural referencing or Search Engine Optimization: it’s up to you to choose.

How to gain visibility on the internet?

Firstly, know that there are two techniques that will impact the positioning of your website relative to competing sites.

One of these solutions is based on a paid advertising strategy (SEA), while the other is based on a content valuation strategy (SEO). The paid advertising strategy is ideal for those seeking short-term results, while the other is much more effective in the long run. If you want to achieve quick and concrete results, you should try investing in SEA. (Search Engine Advertising).

SEA is a set of paid advertising actions aimed at prioritizing websites in the search engine results pages.

If we were to simplify this practice, we would explain that it consists of buying online advertising space to be prominently visible at the very top of the search engine results. They are easily recognizable, as they appear at the top of the SERP (Search Engine Results Page): the results page of the search engine. Furthermore, the term “ad” can be seen in the results. In this way, you will easily succeed in distinguishing between paid positioning and natural positioning: the one generated by SEO.

What is SEO?

SEO is the implementation of a number of strategies aimed at placing your website at the top of the search engine results in a natural way. To achieve such results, it is necessary to apply certain rules and work on what composes the web pages of your site: the content.

The web pages of your site contain different elements, all of which have value in the eyes of the bots responsible for crawling your site.

The content of your web page, as you will have understood, is of utmost importance. Indeed, its relevance, or the interest that internet users will have in it, defines its positioning in search engine results.

Thus, the pages contain information that users are looking for. They can take different forms:
• Text including the keyword,
• Images,
• Videos,
• Downloadable files,
• External links,
• Internal links.

What is a keyword?

The keyword, or keyword, is a term or expression that is associated with your activity, your product, or the service you wish to highlight to access your website. Indeed, we can talk here about the term that defines your product, as well as all the expressions related to your sector of activity. This work is very important because natural traffic to your website will depend on it.

How do we find the right keyword?

You should build your pages around the keywords you have defined, as well as with terms and phrases that users usually search for in their queries. For this, it will be necessary to organize brainstorming sessions with your team to conduct joint research: together, we are more productive, as each person thinks differently; everyone can bring an idea, a word, a term, or a phrase that we might not consider if we were alone.
You can also refer to online tools like Google Keyword Planner.

Tip: you can ask your surroundings. Ask them what words or queries they would use if they were searching for the service or product you offer on your site.

The keyword corresponds to the main term of the queries leading to your site, while all the other expressions are called the long tail.

When thinking of your service or profession, one word immediately comes to mind: this is what we call a keyword. However, you are probably not the first to want to rank at the very top of the search engine results.

As a result, it is highly likely that your online competitors have already done some groundwork on this keyword. For this reason, it may be very interesting to work on other terms or expressions, which are likely less searched, but where competition is lower: this is what we call the long tail. This kind of traffic can bring in new customers in the long term.
