| Search Engines Tip | Unique Content Phrasing!
What are the most unique parts of your site? What services do you provide that your competitors don’t, which products do you sale which you know will gain interest? Replacing general terms with specific detail can have an enormous impact on who finds you on the web and how fast.
Another question you might want to ask is where are you? The answer to this may seem very obvious but being location specific has been proven to dramatically improve the optimization of your site. All of these words together can increase their power by using them together.
Phrases are more focused than single words. If you are a driving school, what separates you from every other driving school in the UK? “Driving” may be a word you find frequently on your business site, but driving what? Driving where? What is the service?
“Driving Instructors West Sussex.” Linking those words give a whole new focus to what your website is really about.
