SEO: Patience & Persistence

As a hired consultant trying to improve a company’s search engine marketing I would suggest the following be implemented:

a.       The company’s website would need to be revamped with the latest and greatest content. Simple and easy to use. A lot of video, audio and photos.

b.      The new and improved website would need to be properly indexed in the search engines that are most commonly used.

c.       Doing the necessary research to find out what the most relevant and popular keywords are in the category that I’m working with. If it is coffee some of the most common terminology may be coffee club, coffee review, Starbucks, etc.

d.      After discovering the most common keyword I would use those keywords on the new site as much as possible.  The more I can input the keywords the better.
Content is king even when it comes to SEO. In order to integrate the entire mechanics new content will need to be published in the form of audio, video and text. All new materials would need to be pushed via social media with the same keywords that were used in the website. Video on YouTube, Twitter and Blogger should all be integrated in order to push the new content.
Furthermore, joining relevant conversations on social media and linking the website to those conversations is another form of integration that can contribute to SEO.
The biggest key here is patience and persistence. It doesn’t happen overnight. Therefore, many companies start to lag on content creation, integrated social media application, refining keywords and joining the conversation. It is imperative to work on all aspects of SEO daily.  
The below blog is a really good read about patience and SEO:
To sum it up, always remember patience, persistence, creative content and keywords. All else will be well.
