Need help with SEO

[CarER]

Hey everyone,

 

First off just wanted to say that it's been a great pleasure being here for the past few days. Everyone on here seems knowledgeable, friendly and eager to help and I sincerely appreciate it.

 

I'm a fairly new shop in Harrisonburg, VA. By that I mean it's been a year and a half in businsss. I was hoping I could get you guys to take a look at my website and offer me some advice as far as the layout and SEO goes. Ive been doing it all myself but it can definitely use some help. Thanks in advance!

I'm impressed, it looks fairly professional, and not too cookie-cutter either.

Stay on top of your blog (weekly is good), that will do wonders for your SEO, since websites that are updated more often get higher SEO results.

I'm not an SEO guru but there are resources out there that will help a lot.

Other then that, you might consider paying for a company to manage your SEO since it's probably the most important thing about your website that it be on the top page of someone's search results.

bstewart,

 

Yeah, I kinda lost track of my blog... I should stay on that.

 

I appreciate your advice. In my opinion SEO should be one of the most important things you do or should get done. But most SEO companies I've talked to want like $900/mo and that's something I simply cannot afford right now.

ATI has an owner's marketing class that is very heavy on internet and SEO and it will boggle your mind. We went from doing our own web page to letting Kukui do it for us and they are big on landing pages for specific searches, so now if somebody searches for BMW service, they land on a page of ours that tells them we are BMW specialists (true). Suddenly we are finding we are getting a lot more Euro work. We do a lot of Facebook and really like the "boost your post" option. It really works and you can throttle how much you are spending. ATI monitors Google's ever-changing rules for who gets top search billing and keeps us posted. Google+ has a small share of the social market, but it's very important to, guess who, Google, so it's important to you. Don't ignore it.

Social networking is a big help for any site. Get followers and only share relevant information. As soon as you write a new blog post, share it on your company pages. Also share any specials, tips, etc. As far as SEO, try this tool to see where you can optimize and have your coder/programmer make some adjustments: http://seositecheckup.com
