Search engine optimization is one of the strongest ways to gain users in the modern world. Building a product is good but having customers that use it is even better. The validation that the product you built is worth it is the number of users using the product. It is therefore very important for every product to have users.
“Search engine optimization is the process of improving your ranking in search engines such as Google in order to get more people (users, customers) to your website (product).
Search engine Optimization comes down to two things – contents and links.
The more aligned your content is with the keyword you are targeting, the better it will rank. Avoid buying links. This violates search engine guidelines and there are always repercussions for rule violations. Focus on how to build links instead.
There are two major strategies for building links for search engine optimization;
- Fat Head
- Longtail
Fathead strategy involves using keywords that directly describe your company. The aggregate of these keywords makes up 30 percent of searches. For example, use ‘wooden toy’ if your products are toys made from wood.
