Top 4 tips to get your website SEO started

A website is not like a new store in the mall that has a steady stream of traffic always passing through that may just happen to see you. If you don’t know if people are in your store and what they are doing you will miss out on valuable insight.

Below are our top 4 tips on getting your SEO

1. Install Google Analytics on your website - It is vital to be able to track the statistics on your website traffic. Google Analytics is free and very powerful.

2. Install Google Webmaster tools - While Analytics is great, it doesn’t track the keywords and phrases people find you for as well as webmaster tools does.

3. Submit your website to Google - If you are going to let anyone know you have a new website, it should be Google as that is likely where most of your searches are going to come from. You may get some inquiries from bing or yahoo too, but Google is the one to cater too.

4. Get listed on Google My Business - Search engines like it if you have a physical address and can prove it. While you are at it get some of your customers to write some reviews on your business.

Once you have setup the various tools and submitted your site to Google, check back often to see what the impact has been.
