First – A Good Website Provides Valuable Information to Visitors<br />

Information is where it all<br />

starts. Your website is your<br />

home base online. Ideally, your<br />

website should act as sort of a<br />

combination plate, something<br />

that encompasses a well-written<br />

brochure, an attractive office,<br />

a professional receptionist,<br />

and an ace salesperson.<br />

Whew. That’s a lot to do with a<br />

simple website. But, the good<br />

news is that it’s not as complicated<br />

as it sounds.<br />

Let’s start with the content.<br />

Your website must attract visitors<br />

– and the only way to<br />

do that is to optimize it. That<br />

means:<br />

»»<br />

Picking the right keywords<br />

»»<br />

Using your keywords wisely<br />

– in tags and in your content<br />

»»<br />

Including internal links to<br />

give your site structure and<br />

make it easy for visitors to<br />

find relevant content<br />

»»<br />

Using external links to authority<br />

sites to back up your<br />

claims or inform visitors<br />

It’s also about varying your<br />

content, interspersing written<br />

content with relevant images,<br />

captivating videos, and visual<br />

data (like infographics) to educate<br />

visitors about your business.<br />

You’ll also need a contact<br />

page that makes it simple<br />

for people to get in touch<br />

with you.<br />

Ultimately, your website should<br />

tell people who you are, what<br />

you do, and what they stand<br />

to gain by doing business with<br />

you. If you can accomplish<br />

that, the informational aspect<br />

of your website is what it<br />

should be.<br />

Ultimately,<br />

your website<br />

should tell<br />

people who you<br />

are, what you do,<br />

and what they<br />

stand to gain by<br />

doing business<br />

with you.
