It has become increasing more difficult to get onto the
first page of Google for almost any search term and as soon as you do Google
changes its algorithm and you disappear.
It is possible though to get onto the first page and even
dominate the first page of google if you give Google what it wants: good
regular information spread over all the social media channels and in every
form, written, audio, graphic and video.
The most difficult thing to establish is a three word phrase
that when anyone types in (your search phrase), you will appear on the first
page of the Google search results.
You have to think like a potential client searching for what
you can offer, so if you are a health and fitness club in in London, your
search phrase might be ‘Health club London’ or ‘Fitness Training London’.
I present around the world on Sales and Technology and
Social Media, so my term is ‘Sales Technology Speaker’. Please do a Google
search for that term and see the results.
Once you have the 3 word phrase you have to think about
becoming part of the Google family and putting that phrase into everything that
belongs to Google:
- · YouTube for your video
- · Blogger for your articles
- · Google +
- · Picasa for your info graphic
Firstly, ensure that you have that three word phrase on
every page of your website as well as in the profile of all your social media
platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, Vimeo. Slideshare, LinkedIn, Picasa,
Pinterest, Instagram and all the other platforms where you are sharing
information.
The secret to dominating Google is having good information
for your clients or potential clients.
Let’s take the example of the Health Club in London. They
will be writing an article called ‘How to get a 6 pack in 3 months’.
That article must include ‘London Health Club’ in the text
as well as the end of the article in the ‘about section’
The first place this article needs to be uploaded to is their
website, a respun
version onto their blog on Blogger (Google does not like duplicate content),
another onto LinkedIn and then share the article with the various article directories.
On every one of these platforms in the ‘tags’ section include the phrase ‘London
Health Club’
Then promote the article through Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn
and Google+
Next make an audio recording and share this on the various
audio platforms once again including the phrase ‘London Health Club’ in the
tags.
After that make a video of the same information and share
that on all the video platforms, the most important being YouTube. When you
upload the video ensure that the key phrase ‘London Health Club’ is in the
title, description and tags. Before you upload the video, also rename it ‘London
Health Club’
Next create an info-graphic, I use some great software to do
this, take a look at http://www.frankfurness.com/logocreator
Once you have created the info-graphic that might have a nice
picture of someone with a 6 pack saying ‘How to get a six pack in 3 months’,
you need to do two things:
- · Rename the graphic/picture – call it London Health Club
- · Right click on the graphic, go to properties/details/tags and insert the tag ‘London Health Club’ as well as some other tags.
It is now ready for uploading and has been made easy to find
by Google.
Upload the graphic to Pinterest, Picasa, and Instagram with
a description on each that once again includes the 3 word phrase.
What you have now created is relevant information for Google
where it will find your three keyword phrase on all of your various social
media platforms as well as on the information you have shared in terms of
articles, audio, video and graphics which all include the phrase.
You must ensure that you are also putting out new
information on a regular basis as that is what Google is looking for as well as
your clients.
