Things You Think You Know About SEO

It can boost your business or keep you up all night. It’s of vital importance — or maybe it’s not that big of a deal, after all? (It is.) It’s SEO, and if your business has a website — which it absolutely should — it’s crucial for attracting potential customers and building brand awareness. As Sabri Suby, founder digital marketing agency King Kong and author of “Sell Like Crazy,” points out, there are more than 3.5 billion search queries per day on Google, which is not just the world’s most popular search engine, but its most popular website.

With such an importance placed on SEO, and the evolution of search engine algorithms, it’s no surprise there is a lot of misinformation out there. Some of it might have been true at one time but has now become obsolete. Some of it is simply bogus but repeated often enough it has gained currency. Since this month’s issue is all about learning, we aim to provide a quick tutorial on SEO.

DUPLICATE CONTENT

Everyone knows duplicate content will kill you in search engine rankings, right? Well, not necessarily. Sure, if your website is just the same content posted over and over on several different pages, or your website is just a reproduction of someone else’s website, it will hurt you because you have nothing to add. But say you have a page listing categories of products you sell, then another page with product details. Odds are, some of that content will be the same, and that’s OK.

CONTENT IS KING

How To Clean Up - Sanitary Franchises To Invest In

It’s a tangible part of this new world we’ve entered after emerging from lockdown. You can smell it in corridors and in shops, and it’s a selling point for hotels reopening.

SOFT OPENING - CONSUMER CONFIDENCE A KEY FACTOR IN RECOVERY

As states and territories reopened their economies in various phases throughout May and June, it became clear that simply being open is not enough to get firing on all cylinders again. First, there are safety regulations limiting how many patrons a business can serve at a time. Just as important is consumer confidence. If shoppers don’t feel safe visiting a business, they’re not going to, and there’s no forcing them. Some services requiring intimate personal contact have an even harder time with this. Just because someone can get a massage doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with it.

COMING OUT OF OUR CAVES - LIFE IN PUBLIC AS RESTRICTIONS EASE

The pubs reopened to great rejoicing and some free beer as coronavirus restrictions eased across Australia, although unfortunately, it was too late for millions of litres of suds that had to be tipped down the drain. It was strange to be out, but it felt good once you got used to it. Rules vary by state and territory, but over the past several weeks, Aussies have been able to dine out, go to holiday homes, and gather in small groups once more. Lockdown isn’t lockdown anymore, but that doesn’t mean “normal” is back. Here’s where things stand.
