SEO 101
Search Engine Optimization is nothing more than establishing a trust with the search engines.
The more they trust your content to be authoritative on key words and phrases, the
higher your ranking.
On Page and Off Page Content
Content is king.Words – Images - Video
Inbound links from authoritative and relative sites add importance.
Location via cities, areas, zip codes, geo-location, google maps are all very, very important
SEO Motto
Anything that gets measured, gets done.
Anything that gets measured well, gets done well.
