What is SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and how can I use it to reach clients and grow my business?

Why can’t people find your business website/blog on the internet? Why are there no visitors on your business website/blog?
Maybe Search Engine Optimisation is your answer.

If you have a business website or blog, you need to know what SEO is all about. SEO is one of the most fundamental and powerful methods to increase your business website/blog’s visibility on the internet and help you reach out to your clients online.
 
Is it free?
Yes, it is. In this post, we will focus on the effective-yet-free methods for small business to improve their SEO but there are plenty of services (including from Google) and software on the market to improve your company website’s SEO if you have the budget.

What is SEO?
Let’s break it down into two words: ’Search Engine’ and ’Optimisation’. ‘Search Engine‘ basically means Google, since more than 90% people use Google as their main search engine in Sweden, although there are others too. ‘Optimisation’ means to make your website most appealing and easy to use so the search engines like it and maximise the visibility of your business website or blog on the search results page list.
 
In simple terms, SEO is a method of getting your business website/blog link to appear on Google search results page as high on the list as possible when people type in any search words that are related to your business.
 
It’s like a digital yellow pages and all websites/blogs are fighting to be on the front page for their website/blog to be seen by their customers.
 
Why does Google need us to do SEO?
We can think of the process of how Google determines the ranking of a search result as an audition itself. In this audition, Google use more than 200 factors to decide the order of the ranking shown on the search result page.
 
So what is our business website/blog auditioning for? We are auditioning to prove to Google that our business website/blog is:

  • The best website/blog of what customers are looking for
  •  The most relevant website/blog of what clients are looking for
  •  The most popular website/blog of what people looking for
 
How do we meet those crazy 200+ unclear factors from Google to get high ranking for our business website/blog?
Luckily, lots of research and experiments have been done so there are many tips and rules discovered for how to improve the SEO for Google’s sake.  By actively working to improve them, they can essentially guarantee an improvement in your website’s ranking in Google.
 
Is it a one-off job?
We do need to work on improving our website/blog’s SEO continuously and relentlessly. As Google is constantly reviewing, adjusting and updating its search results, there is no time limit, it means this ’audition’ with Google is an on-going process and its never too late to get the ball rolling!
 
What happens if we do a good job of optimising our website for search engines?
If our business website/blog’s SEO is well-taken-cared of, it means it will get more visibility on Google search. More exposure helps us to achieve the following:

  • Easier to find = Better user experience for customers
  • More people find our website/blog = Higher visit rate
  • Higher visit rate = Better potential for conversion
  • Better potential for conversion = More sales
  • Higher visit rate= Better exposure = Free marketing
  • Higher visit rate = Better insight of customers = Free marketing survey!
 
Last but not least:

  • More visits = higher ranking!
 
Now you know what all the fuss about SEO is for and how it can help to grow your business.
 
Are you ready to get the ball rolling but don’t know how?
We will unearth more secrets of SEO in future posts. If you want to get more free tips, pop your email address in the box on the right to get our blog posts by email.
 
Is SEO something you have yet to look into for your business? Get started with SEO with us on 21st March 2018, a two-hour training session costing only 450kr per person. We also have an autumn session on 3rd Oct 2018. Click here for more information.

Our job is to help you get more customers for your business, especially small and new businesses in Sweden and we've got some great ways to do that. Come and join us at our office in Danderyd this spring if you would like to know lots about the following topics:

Most of us can and do use social media but does it bring you new clients or is it just your friends (and family...) that like your posts?

In this two-hour session, we'll work through techniques to find prospective clients and turn them into leads (giving you their contact details) so you can turn them into clients. We'll look at two different methods - content and conversation - and how to use them both.

Case study: search engine optimisation workshop

18/10/2017

Get more people looking at your website - workshop from My Own Marketing Coach
Working with clients is so inspiring! Yesterday we had clients participate in one of our SEO (search engine optimisation) workshops.

Often people think that SEO is a very mysterious and difficult concept and when you don't know a lot about it, it actually is. The good news is that with a couple of simple insights and tricks, this mystery unriddles itself instantly. Also, it's not as difficult as you might think, you just need to know the tricks and do the work!

​This is what our clients experienced yesterday as well! For example, did you know that:
​
- Regular blogs on your website create more opportunities to pop up in search results
​- Key words that you've used for finding your site should be in the text on each page AND in the code of your website
​- Think of your customers and what words or phrases they're searching for, what problem do they need solved? Take your customer's perspective, not your own.

More workshops are planned for the spring. Click here for details.
