* Submit a sitemap to the search engines – A sitemap is a file that lists the important pages on your site that you want indexed. This will get your site pages indexed faster than submitted your URL.
* Determine the pages that Google has indexed – You can determine this by entering “site: domain” in the Google search bar. For example, the proper entry would look like this – site:joesplumbing.com. Do not precede your domain name with http or www. Google will return with all the pages that have been indexed, allowing you to add the ones that have been missed.
* If you have other domains, build links between them – The more relevant the sites are to each other, the better. Link building is a big part of SEO so building these links is a good thing.
* Build internal links within your site – Build links to the other pages within your site. This goes beyond the links on your home page and should include text based links on other pages wherever it makes sense.
* Add dashes between words for your file names – Google’s algorithm has a much easier time reading files when they are separated in this manner. An example would be joesplumbing.com/local-services-offered.
* Change up your anchor text when you submit content to article directories to build link juice – This makes your inbound links look natural and they’ll carry more weight with the search engines.
* Don’t ignore the ALT tags for images on your site – The search engines can’t read images but the alt tags provide the opportunity for some extra on page SEO.
* Secure Twitter and Facebook page names for your site – Even if you don’t use them immediately, they’ll be there once you’re ready to dive in to social media.
