In this post, we share insights from a recent audit of a small service business. I explain how by addressing key areas of the business website, implementing SEO strategies, and optimising the Google Business Profile, you can attract more clients and improve your visibility.
Website Optimisation Suggestions Mentioned
1. Fix Broken Forms
Ensure all forms on your website are functioning correctly to avoid losing potential leads. Broken forms can frustrate users and prevent them from contacting you or requesting a quote.
2. SEO Improvements
Your website should be optimised for search engines to improve visibility. This includes:
- Optimising meta tags, headers, and content: Make sure each page has relevant keywords and clear, descriptive tags.
- Using alt tags for images: Improve accessibility and SEO by adding descriptive alt text to your images.
- Improving page load speed: Ensure your website loads quickly to keep visitors engaged and reduce bounce rates.
3. Footer Enhancement
Add business information and links to your social profiles in the footer to improve credibility and navigation. A well-designed footer can enhance user experience and provide important information at a glance.
Local SEO and Keyword Analysis
Target Local Keywords
Targeting your local area with relevant keywords is crucial for attracting nearby clients. For example, if you offer air conditioning installation services in Ipswich, you should target terms like “Ipswich Air Conditioning Installation.” strategically within the Website content.
Google Ads Overview
High competition in your industry might mean paying a premium for leads. Running your own ads can be more cost-effective than relying on lead generation services. Use Google Ads to target specific keywords and reach potential clients directly.
Business Profiles
Appearing in the top 3 Google Business Profiles is a cheap and effective way for generating phone calls and leads. Regularly update your profile, gather reviews and maintain accurate information to improve your ranking.
