Action Points for SEO:
Steps to improving your website's performance in search engines:
- Run an audit of your website
Check for the following statistics:
- Traffic/unique visitors every month
- Time spent on website
- Number of inbound backlinks
- Number of pages indexed
- Number of pages ranking for keywords
- Positions for each keyword and any website on-page issues.
Recommended Tools: SEMRush, PatientSites, SEOptimer.com (free)
- Start making a list of keywords that you want to rank your website for in search results
Use Google Keyword Planner for estimates on amount of traffic and keyword competition for each keyword
Local keyword examples: physical therapy in Austin, physical therapy Austin, Austin physical therapy, physical therapist in Austin (Be sure to replace the city name with your city!)
Use long-tail keywords as much as possible - they are easy to rank and bring in traffic that's more likely to convert into a lead!
Recommended Tools: AnswerThePublic.com, Ubersuggest, Google Trends
- Start addressing the issues found on your website during the audit
Tip: Enter your keywords in a normal Google search to check the search results - this should give you an idea about what kind of content ranks well on Google.
The following changes should be made to each page:
- Include your keyword in title tag and make it catchy
- Add your keyword in the first paragraph and again further down on the page
- Use proper H1, H2... tags
- Create short URL structures (include your keyword if possible)
- Add internal & outbound links to other websites
- Make sure your image file names include your keyword for the page
- Use high quality images but optimize them to be the lowest file size possible so page load speed is reduced as well.
- Use clear calls to action such as 'Call Now', 'Free Discovery Session', 'Speak To A PT', and more.
- Start building backlinks for your website
- Identify guest posting opportunities by searching for "Guest Posting" + "Blog" + "Industry Name" on Google search.
- Create interesting content that's relevant to other businesses in your area (Be sure to include a link leading back to your website).
- Search for your business name in Google and identify mentions of your business that are not already a link to your website.
- Try other strategies like blog commenting, forum posting, local directory listings or social media sharing.
