White Board SEO Blog

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is necessary to survive when it comes to generating leads….. You will often hear this referred to as Search Engine Optimization (SEO). We want to talk about more than optimization of search engines. There are marketing factors to consider as well. CONVERSIONS!!!! It doesn’t matter if you have best positioning on the internet, if your website is not built to convert, all SEO efforts become irrelevant. Many people with small vacation rental companies have the time and knowledge to do many of the little things themselves. Our CEO has been involved with SEO since the AltaVista days. He was optimizing websites before Google was around. He felt it was critical to educate the vacation rental industry about SEO. Where is it going? Adwords? Social Media? Google? Bing? Paper Advertising? Many companies advertise search engine optimization! As you begin to dive into these blogs, you will begin to learn that SEO is a daily job. With Google algorithms changing every day….. Leads becoming harder and harder to get from third party websites…. Social Media beginning to become a bigger factor….. SEO is a very laborious task. We add the important components of SEO into our unit pages. We also utilize a wordpress plugin for our website development in order to take advantage of new SEO & SEM plugins, such as YOAST. These are some of the things that you will learn with this blog. We hope you enjoy….
