Improve user experience, Improve marketing ROI
How can I improve my SEO results without investing more? ü Answer the 3 questions that website visitors subconsciously ask
within the first few seconds:
1. Where am I?
2. What can I do here?
3. Why should I do it?
New visitors must have answers to the first two crucial questions during the initial seven seconds they spend on your site. After that, every element of every page must answer the third key question
ü Also, leverage A/B testing regularly and effectively.

Link building has changed
Spammy links don’t work anymore. Instead, go after the low-hanging fruit: 1. Set-up Google alerts so you know when credible websites mention
your brand
2. Send request to add a link back to your site
3. Get more SEO value from a credible source
TIP: Key to generating brand mentions on credible sites is to build and distribute compelling content through multiple channels!

How do I leverage Social Media for SEO? Build SEO into content creation and leverage Social in your distribution strategy
1. Know your keywords… then build content specifically for them.
2. Distribute content so it gets picked up. But the content must be high quality.
3. Natural links lift rankings.
OVERVIEW
#123webinar | @webmarketing123
ü As a result of new media, platforms, and Google algorithm updates, SEO strategies must constantly evolve – those that focus on providing value and measuring revenue contribution will be most successful.
ü Although link building is still the predominant influencer, Authorship and Social Media
play an increasing role in what ranks highly. Brands must proactively mark-up listings and include social signals at all times.
ü For improved search rankings, focus on long-term content marketing strategies rather
than easy link building and content generation tactics.
ü Close the loop on measurement and get the most out of your marketing investments
