Exponential Growth
So, how well are we doing at increasing our client’s digital profitability? Last year (in 2015), we took on 1-800 Water Damage, a disaster restoration client, and started doing SEO work for them. After a few months, they starting getting many more phone calls and decided to check their internal phone records. When they did this, they realized that after 4 months of us doing SEO that they had experienced 40% more phone calls, year over year! Again, this was them checking their own internal numbers. When they looked closer at these phone call numbers, they realized that all of them were coming from our SEO. They were thrilled because they were experiencing almost double growth in just a Four month period. Fantastic.
Want to hear something even more incredible? Eight months into the SEO process, they checked their numbers again and discovered that they were getting 80% more phone calls, year over year. Same situation, all of the new growth was occurring via their website. How in the world had this happened? Our consist ant SEO work had turned their “normal” website into Aggressive Sales Machine! If you know anything about Google Analytics (Google’s free website traffic tracking tool), their website traffic, sessions, users, and pageviews tripled over a six month period.

Junk
Ever seen this type of writing on the web? Seriously? What does this stuff even mean? What we’re looking at here isn’t high quality writing. No, my friends, this is junk. Everything you publish on your site or on the web should ad value for the searcher. Never, ever, is it OK to publish junk, anywhere on the web. Unfortunately, the web is littered with junk like this:Keyword Stuffing
Google defines keyword stuffing as the “practice of loading a webpage with keywords or numbers in an attempt to manipulate a site’s ranking in Google search results.” Quite often, keywords appear over and over again in lists, groups, or patterns. Most of the time, these keywords appear totally out of context and repeated over and over. And, guess what? Google doesn’t like keyword stuffing. This is because the act of doing keyword stuffing is an attempt of manipulate Google’s algorithm. Google especially hates any attempt to manipulate their algorithm in any way. What happens when Google finds out a website is trying to manipulate them? Yep, you guessed it. Whenever Google finds violations like this they will “add a slap” to the website and penalize it in the rankings. In real world examples, this usually means that the offending site will drop out of Google’s First page into the second, third, or hundredth page. Basically, the offending website disappears from Google’s Search altogether and it can take alot of work to make that website “move to the top” again. Sometimes it’s not even possible.Why Publish this Junk?
So why do we see this so called “keyword stuffing” across the web? Once upon a time back before 2012, keyword stuffing was actually common practice among people that did SEO. The reason that SEO people did this was because it actually worked. The combination of keyword stuffing and publishing articles across the web would actually make a website go to the top of Google. Unfortunately, the web was littered with more examples of things that look like this:Google Responds
- people to quickly find what they’re looking for.
- results that solve problems.
- results that answer questions.
- to suppress spam as much as possible.
Adding Value
One of my mentors would always repeat this mantra: “Always add value to the web.” When he said this, we meant that whenever we publish anything online, we must make sure that it adds value. We need to make sure that the content we’re publishing answers questions, solves problems, and helps people. Why is Value so important to Google? The reason is that sites that provide a high amount of value help people quickly find what they’re looking for. The more value that people find using Google, the more they’ll tend to keep using Google vs other search engines. When a site answers questions that people are asking for, that’s value. When site’s provide direction to life’s persistent questions, that site is providing value. When a site has a high quality design, that’s value. When a site publishes excellent content, that’s value. Value also gets ranked at the top of Search Engines.How Can You Add Value?
Ok, we get it. Value is, well, valuable. Publishing high quality content on your site will actually boost your company in the search results and also increase your site’s value at the same time. So, what are different ways that you can add value to the web? Here’s a list of pages or blog posts that you could create on your site to add more value:- Blog Posts that answer your most common questions.
