Our Top 3 SEO Tips to Get Your Small Business Higher on Google
Looking to get your business found on Google or Bing? Think SEO sounds like a minefield? We've simplified things for you and condensed a large SEO checklist into our TOP 3 'must-do's'!
There's a lot more to search engine optimisation, but these top 3 tips are a good starting point for small businesses. For your interest; Infoserve is a Leeds SEO agency, working with businesses across the U.K. We are one of the first SEO agencies in the UK. Okay, so now you know who we are, let's get started!
Tip 1) title tags
Title tags are the most overlooked element with small business websites. To check your title tag, you can either view it on the tab at the top of your browser window, or click here
to run your business through our free SEO checker tool. The tool is completely free and instant with results, don't worry!
Your title tag should read something like this:
Main keyword, secondary keyword, location, company name
If yours says 'home', or just has your business name, get it changed to the above, ASAP!
Tip 2) headings (H1)
Heading (H1's) are the main headlines on each website page. Again, you can view your headings by using our free SEO audit tool, or simply by looking at each page, right click on a heading and hit 'inspect' or 'inspect element' (depending on your browser). You'll then see some code. You're looking to see if you've right clicked on the H1.
Your H1 should include your main keyword, revenant to what's on that website page.
Tip 3) location pages
These are dedicated pages to locations that you cover. For example, you should have an 'Areas We Cover' in your main website navigation menu, then that should be a drop down to the multiple areas you cover.
On each of these location pages you should match the keyword and location in your title tag, to the keyword in your heading (H1). You should also add your location in the heading, too.
Content on each page needs to be unique, so don't duplicate it!
That's it! Those are our top 3 tips for SEO from our Leeds agency team. Thanks guys!
