Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords is part of our next 30 day challenge.
The ongoing need to feed the beast I call the Google Monster with Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords. As mentioned earlier the results of my 90 Day Blog/SEO challenge was successful. It showed my site beginning to reach key market areas. For what my business does we could be hired and work anywhere. At times we travel. Realistically my business shines in Michigan. In general terms a number of communities within that area.
For the next 30 days or so my new challenge is building Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords. Consider using location-based searches if your main market is in one region. When searching for a business in your area, search engine users will usually include their location in the search. Otherwise it gives you results from other states, not helpful if you need a roofer now. So, “home roofing contractor” becomes “home roofing contractor in Howard City Michigan. The more detail you put in your search, the better your results if finding what you need.
So that is what I am doing with each major keyword and location in my market area. NOTE: Been told by SEO programmers that Google frowns on using the same content on multiple pages with minor changes. Going back to our ‘home roofing contractor’ we would not place the same info on: ‘home roofing contractor big rapids’ – ‘home roofing contractor reed city’ and ‘home roofing contractor cadillac’ for example. The Google beast loves content, new and fresh content. This is where your time will be spent. Hours and hours working your Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords. Plus do not forget you still need to be blogging as well. Feed the BEAST.
As we journey through the wonderful world of SEO remember there are numerous ways to work our site organically. Please do not get discouraged. This is a marathon. A never-ending marathon. This 30 day challenge of building Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords is only one technique we decided on based on our 90 day analytic report. When will I know if this is a good use of time… 30 – 90 days from now.

In ninety days my site is two and three on page one with the keyword phrase video production big rapids
From April one to July one I did a 90 day website-blog-SEO challenge on my dwvideo site. According to one of my clients and friends, Dr. Harpreet Singh references Simon Sinek’s Start with the Why of the Problem. ‘Don’t tell someone what to do – tell them how to do it’ – that is my goal. The purpose of my challenge was two fold: One is the share the data with you as I learned more and two, for us to feed the Google beast targeted keywords so our SEO grows.
What is the Google beast you ask? The Google beast thrives on content. It graves it, wants it, cannot live with it. So, on your website you need to be Google friendly and feed the content beast. For my challenge the focus was on feeding the beast through my Blog. One blog post a day for ninety days. BTW: Larry and I are still reviewing the data from the ninety days. From the data we will have the good, bad and ugly. I promise, this info will be posted as soon as we can.
Why did I start this challenge? It all began when we changed our website. We have a new look, feel and direction for the new site. The problem at first, not a huge problem, was my old site was ranked and I did not want it showing up anymore.
Now back to the results of the challenge. For one result (and there will be more) lets look at the phrase – video production big rapids. We are listed two and three. the second result is from one of my blogs. The third result is from my landing page. More on landing pages later.
The 90 day website-blog-SEO challenge is just the start. Remember when mentioned before the Google beast thrives on content. Another tip, it is always hungry. This is what you have to continue to feed with content often.
Was curious that if the dwvideo.com.php56-26.ord1-1.websitetestlink.com site was ranked for the keywords I wondered, “how were my images ranked?” The images below are from page one, beginning from the top of the page.
Our images from the same video production big rapids ranked well on the first page.

Working with Kathy Murphy – advertising guru!

When I began writing a blog my goal was WordPress Blogging for SEO. Using the blog for a couple reasons. One to share how media works by sharing what we have done for others. Second, to help with my Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Blogging is about content. I noticed when using my WordPress SEO by Yost, one of the analysis items was to write a 300 word blog. If not this is what I would get: “There are 65 words contained in the body copy. This is far too low and should be increased.”
I then went out to find out why. Came across a blog from Risdall, “Ideal content length is a reoccurring debate in the online marketing community, but it turns out that Google does not have a minimum word count for indexing. A 299-word blog post can do as well as a 301-word post. Even 150 words suffice in some cases.” You see it is all about content and how you use it.”
According to Google, ““One of the most important steps in improving your site’s ranking in Google search results is to ensure that it contains plenty of rich information that includes relevant keywords, used appropriately, that indicate the subject matter of your content.”
WordPress Blogging for SEO should be part of your ‘do it yourself’ marketing plan. The more you blog, the more new content helps your site. How often should you blog? From my research I found arguments of daily or multiple times a day, to a few times a week. Successful bloggers are doing it both way.
Regular posting on your blog puts you and your brand in front of people. Infrequent posting can lead to readers feeling disconnected, and to even forget who you are completely. Look at what will help your customers and then provide them the information they need. Misconceptions for blogging.
