Best SEO Tips To Boost Your Website Traffic

Search engine optimization (SEO) is imperative for every business today because it is the most effective way to generate traffic and boost the business’s revenue. Further, leveraging effective SEO strategies can help the website boost its rankings on search engine results and enhance its visibility.

There are many ways SEO can help one drive more traffic to the website. It is imperative for making the website more visible in front of the potential customers making your website more accessible to the masses. However, managing SEO and other business operations can be challenging, so many businesses leverage the competence of an SEO agency to help them with this endeavor.

Hence here are some effective SEO tips for your business.     

  • Better Understanding Of Google Analytics: Google Analytics is one of the most prevalent tools used by search engine marketers to determine the SEO performance of their posts and website as a whole. Numbers suggest that of all websites leveraging the analytics technology, 66% use Google Analytics.

Therefore, every business needs to acquaint itself with Google Analytics to leverage its competencies to enhance and augment its SEO efforts and drive results. One can even seek assistance from Phoenix SEO experts to familiarize themselves with the platform.

  • Local Search Intent: The next area to focus on is understanding the general public’s local search intent. This means that if someone is using a specific keyword to search for some product or information, one has to understand the intent behind the use of that keyword and design their content and posts to match the intent.

One can even leverage transactional words such as the brand’s name to match the local search intent of customers. This will need thorough optimization of the content pieces for the local search intent of the visitors.

  • Augment Internal Linking: Internal linking can play a significant role in enhancing the SEO performance of a website. Internal links are used to link one page with the other within the same domain. This enhances the click-through rates of the page, which ultimately helps to bag better ranks on search engine results and consequently drive more traffic.

Furthermore, this also makes it easier for search engine crawlers to crawl through the website and better understand what the business offers. Therefore, every website must leverage this tactic to boost SEO performance and drive augmented results.

  • Bounce Rates: Do people visit your website but not scroll, click, or convert? This is a clear indication that your website has a high bounce rate which is not a metric you want to be high. Conversion is very important for a website because otherwise, all the SEO efforts yield no value for the business.

Businesses need to work on enhancing the loading speed of their website, feature good quality content, and deal with other similar factors that can contribute to increased bounce rates.

In Conclusion

Generating more traffic and converting them into paying customers must be the ultimate motive behind any SEO strategy. Therefore, feel free to leverage these tips and avail more such strategies from the experts at our SEO agency.

Federal Resources for Small Businesses

Federal Resources for Small Businesses
Federal officials, including Alabama Congressman Bradley Byrne, were in the Port City Thursday looking to help small businesses boost international sales. The team spent the day at Xante Corporation.

Byrne said there are federal resources available, like the Export Import Bank of the United States that can help businesses move Alabama-made goods to places across the world.

Xante is one of the many places in our area that’s seeing the significant benefits of exporting overseas.

“Like Xante, it may be the working capital they need while their goods are being sold, shipped and sold, and the money comes back to them or it may be credit insurance and what they do by providing that in full faith and credit of the federal government. They’re making things happen that wouldn’t happen overseas otherwise,” Byrne said.

Xante Corporation employs about 150 people.

Many small businesses can be started at a low cost and on a part-time basis, while a person continues a regular job with an employer or provides care for family members in the home. In developing countries, many small businesses are sole-proprietor operations such as selling produce at a market stall or preparing hot food to sell on the street, that provide a small income.

UVU: Business Resource Center Ribbon Cutting

UVU: Business Resource Center Ribbon Cutting
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Utah Valley University’s new Business Resource Center with UVU President Matthew S. Holland and more than 150 area business, government, education and community leaders on Jan. 6.

UVU’s Business Resource Center will serve as a one-stop-shop for entrepreneurs and businesses in Utah, Summit and Wasatch counties, offering a variety of services that capitalize on the center’s access to the numerous resources, programs and activities provided by UVU faculty, staff and students. As a business incubator, the center will spur Utah’s economic and business development by helping to create new enterprises, grow existing companies and produce new jobs.

The center will be not only a business development incubator to bolster UVU’s substantial economic impact to the state, but also to serve as a prime resource for individuals and entities throughout the region whose viable ideas, products and technology innovation can stimulate the state’s economy.

“I appreciate that fact that this Business Resource Center, that in order to help the entrepreneur, that 70 percent of the space here is going to be dedicated to start-ups, to incubator-type businesses, to help start them and accelerate them, and give them every opportunity, as we have fledgling new businesses,” said Gov. Herbert. “I kind of picture seeds placed in the soil that make sure that they’ll be able to sprout and grow. And it will receive a crop at the appropriate time.”

Housed within UVU’s center are a wide array of entrepreneurial resources and business startup services. They include an economic development office, a technology commercialization office under the direction of Kent Millington, the state’s largest Small Business Development Center, representatives from the Utah Science Technology Research (USTAR) initiative and the nationally ranked Manufacturing Extension Partnership. UVU’s Woodbury School of Business and Entrepreneurship Institute will also assist the BRC in its efforts to create businesses and jobs.

“I do want to acknowledge that so much of the stage we’re enjoying here has been set by our great governor,” said President Holland. “From the beginning, Gov. Herbert has made clear that two of his highest priorities are education and the economy and job creation. And so as I came into office, I listened to his leadership and have been inspired by that. And I thought that we needed to respond to that. And so governor, part of what we’re doing here today is at your call to make education the best that it can be and for everyone do their part with respect to job creation and economic development. We’ve seen some opportunities to do that.”

Holland said that the BRC is crucial to economic development and will house many of the programs and initiatives connected to the University’s business engagement strategy. The business engagement strategy led to the creation of a technology commercialization office under director Kent Millington under whom at least four new patents for marketable technologies have already been filed with the pipeline filling rapidly. UVU has also hired a new director of its Entrepreneurial Institute, is leading the state in its K-16 collaboration efforts, has continued its dialogue with members of the business strategy group and the business community and has been the convening institute for the Utah Cluster Acceleration Partnership in digital media.

Steve Roy, UVU’s associate vice president for economic development, said the BRC’s services, based on proven, cutting-edge methodologies and processes, will be expanded as the center develops to accommodate greater clients’ needs. The center’s providers and partners will begin full services this month.

In addition to its role as a business incubator, the center will also increase student involvement in the region’s economic development through engaged learning opportunities, including research projects and activities that will directly benefit individuals and businesses the BRC serves, Roy said.

The UVU Business Resource Center is located at 815 W. 1250 South, in Orem, near Walmart.
