Make a Product Worth Ranking For
The first step to get your business ranked well in the search engines is to make a product that actually deserves to be on the front page. If your market is even the least bit competitive, you’ll have a much harder time getting ranked well. The most fundamental aspect of search engine success is to have the product everyone wants.
So how do you make a remarkable product that everyone wants? And who is “everyone?”
Fortunately, “everyone” only applies to those looking for what you’re selling, not everyone in the world. If you sell bookkeeping services in Orlando Florida, then your “everyone” is everyone who is looking to hire an accountant and also lives in Orlando. You must define your universe of business prospects. Who is your customer?
Now, how will you make a remarkable product for your customers? Solve a very specific need for them.
Find out what your customers need badly. Find out where they’re being under-served. If you can provide what they need but can’t get elsewhere – or can give it to them better than anyone else – then you will have the product that everyone (in your customer universe) wants.
This is your Unique Selling Proposition (USP). It is your point of differentiation. It is the aspect of your product that your customers can’t find anywhere else. And this is the key to the foundation of successful search engine marketing.
There are probably hundreds of accountants in Orlando Florida. That’s a crowded market to get into. But what if you’re not just a bookkeeper in Orlando, but an Orlando bookkeeper for small businesses, or an Orlando bookkeeper who does in-home accounting and tax preparation? I think you get the picture. Find a niche that is under-served and provide them what others won’t.
Make your business memorable and remarkable, and you’ll be in a good position to achieve the search engine success you desire.
