Search engine optimization 101 for lawn care businesses. - GopherHaul Podcast
You can put together a great looking site but people need to find it when they are searching for lawn service. How do you get your site to appear when a potential customer is looking for lawn care service? You need to know what they are looking for and you need to give them what they want. The keyword here, is keywords!
What are your keywords? Well say for instance you lived in Denver, Co and offered lawn care. A potential customer is most likely going to be looking for Denver Lawn Care or Denver lawn maintenance. If you are unsure of what your keywords should be, ask your friends or family, what words they would search for to find a local lawn care business online and go with the words you hear most often in response. I would think you would want to keep the keyword count to a minimum, maybe 4 or so.
Your ideal keyword count should be between 10% and 20% of the total word count of your site, so ask yourself, where are you ranking?
To figure this out do the following. * Right click on your websites main page and then left click on select all. * Open up your word processor and then paste the text into a new document. * Use the word count feature of your word processor to show you the total word count of your webpage. * Then do a search and see how many times each of your keywords appear. * (total word count) divided by (keyword count) will give you the percentage.
Try this out and see how you are doing.
