Whether you’re already a wiz at updating your website or still becoming familiar with the idea of just having a website, soon enough, you will start to ask yourself: what can I do to make my website attract more visitors and generate more business inquiries and conversations?

time required 20-30 minutes

Nagsisimula ang lahat sa Dazzly...

Kung saan nakaposisyon ang iyong website sa mga search engine ay tinutukoy ng maraming salik, ang ilan sa mga ito ay nasa loob ng iyong website (on-page) at ang ilan ay nasa labas ng iyong website (off-page). Sa kabutihang-palad, karamihan sa mga salik na ito ay mga bagay na kaya nating kontrolin.

Simulan natin sa mga on-page na salik.

Within the Dazzly software you are given direct access to edit some of the key pieces of information on your website that search engines review when analysing your website to determine its rank in search results. In some other website builder software packages, it is either not possible to edit these settings or you would need to purchase expensive or complex plugins that never quite “work”. With Dazzly, as per usual, everything related to your website is all in one place and easy to access.

Although we're sure you’re excited to jump in and explore these “SEO Settings” (we’re very keen to show you!), we must first make a crucial decision. We must decide what keywords we are going to target to get your website visible in search engine results for the medium to long term. These “keywords” are what we’re going to include within these “SEO Settings” and your website content generally.

Sa nakalipas na 10 taon, nakabisita kami sa daan-daang negosyo bilang mga propesyonal na tagapayo sa disenyo ng website. Sa panahong iyon, nagkaroon kami ng maraming pag-uusap sa mga negosyo, mula sa pinakamaliit hanggang sa ilan sa pinakamalalaki sa New Zealand. May ilang simpleng tanong na makakatulong sa amin na matukoy ang mga pangunahing keyword para sa iyong website.

Kung nakapag-sign up ka na sa Dazzly – entitled ka sa isang libreng SEO/marketing consultation kung saan tatalakayin namin ang lahat ng nasa ibaba – tawagan kami sa 0800 112 942 para makuha ang consultation na iyon ngayon o mag-email sa support@dazzly.co.nz at maaari naming i-book ang oras ayon sa iyong iskedyul.

Kahit na kasalukuyan ka nang kasama sa Dazzly o nag-iisip pa lang, ito ang tatalakayin natin sa unang SEO consultation. Kung nais mong magpatuloy nang mag-isa, maaari mo pa ring i-redeem ang libreng konsultasyon sa itaas at maaari nating pag-usapan ang mas advanced na konsepto at ang nilalaman ng marketing/website ng iyong negosyo sa pangkalahatan.

Paano natin pipiliin kung aling mga keyword ang pinakamainam para sa iyong negosyo?

Pag-uusapan natin ang tungkol sa iyong mga customer at aalamin ang lahat ng makakaya natin tungkol sa kanila upang makapasok sa kanilang puso at isipan at ibigay ang ating pinakamahusay na hula kung ano ang kanilang hahanapin kapag naghahanap sila ng bagong provider ng iyong mga serbisyo.

  1. Ano ang tungkol sa iyong negosyo?

    Ang tanong na ito ay para makilala ang konteksto ng iyong negosyo at posibleng magbigay-diin sa mga terminolohiya ng industriya o karaniwang mga parirala tungkol sa iyong produkto o serbisyo.

    Sa pangkalahatan, ang mga negosyo sa rehiyon ang may pinakamaraming makikinabang mula sa pagpapabuti ng kanilang trapiko sa website - higit pa rito mamaya.

  2. Nasaan ang inyong mga customer?

    Kung mayroon ka nang mga customer, saan sila nakatira? Mahalaga ba kung saan sila matatagpuan sa heograpiya kaugnay ng iyong negosyo? Sila ba ay isang beses na pagbili o kumakatawan bilang isang uri ng customer? Babalik ba sila at bibili pa?

    Ang layunin ng mga tanong na ito ay bumuo ng isang larawan ng iyong “audience” – sino ang uri ng customer na tina-target natin upang makatanggap ng iyong mensahe sa marketing – ito ay karaniwang ilang uri na may ilang natatanging dahilan para bumili ng iyong mga produkto/serbisyo.

  3. Ano ang produktong binili nila o serbisyong kinuha at bakit?

    Isipin kung ano ang maaaring hanapin ng iyong mga customer kapag naghahanap para sa produktong ito at ang layunin sa likod ng paghahanap din. Halimbawa, kung ikaw ay isang mekaniko na nag-aalok din ng mobile servicing, maaaring gusto mong i-target ang mga paghahanap para sa "emergency roadside mechanic" o "mobile mechanic northland".

Now that we have established a general picture of your product/services and customer, we need to put ourselves in the shoes of people matching the same general demographic as your customer and that are in the market to purchase your products/services. In-order to do that, we can think of some recent examples of your customers and try to envisage how they would seek you out online (assuming it makes sense that their demographic would seek you out online – this may not be the case e.g. for elderly customers may prefer telephone, human-to-human contact). Specifically, we want to focus on, if the customer went to a search engine – what do they anticipate they would have typed in to find your products and/or services?

If you were looking for an oil change for your family vehicle, ideally you would want to go close to home, so you may search “oil change Henderson”. If you’re budget conscious, it may be “cheap oil change Henderson” – depending on the values of your business and customer purchasing reason it may or may not make sense to target words such as “cheap”.

Tandaan: Kung ikaw ay isang lokal na negosyo at ang iyong serbisyo ay kailangang gawin nang personal, halos palaging may katuturan na i-target ang iyong lungsod, suburb, at ang salitang "lokal" bilang bahagi ng iyong listahan ng keyword.

If you sold natural products solely through your Ecommerce Store website then your next customer could be located anywhere in New Zealand. Therefore, it would make sense for you to target keywords such as “buy natural products online”, “buy natural products online nz” and “buy natural products online New Zealand” as a starting point. These are phrases that you could easily predict would be searched by potential customers of yours and therefore your business needs to be visible when people type in such terms.

The aforementioned keywords are national-level keywords and targeting these would be ambitious due to high levels of competition (in a standard, established market such as natural products). While you should still set high targets, we would advise that you also mix in some less competitive, yet still relevant, niche terms such as “buy natural soap online ph”, “buy natural lavender soap online ph” etc. depending on the types of natural products you stock.

If you perform home plumbing and maintenance, you can only service a local area so you would be better suited to pick keywords such as “home plumbing Palmerston north” or “emergency plumber Palmerston north”. Note that again, depending on the population and level of local competition, you can be either more or less ambitious with your choice of target key words.

BusinessCustomer AddressTarget Keywords
PlumberLocal sa Palmerston North"home plumbing palmerston north", "lokal na tubero palmerston north"
Natural Product ShopAnywhere in PH"bumili ng natural na produkto ph", "bumili ng natural na sabon online ph", "bumili ng lavender na sabon online ph"
Industrial ElectricianAnywhere in Region"industrial electrical taranaki", "commercial electrical new plymouth"
Life CoachAnywhere in PH"online life coach", "professional life coach nz", "professional career coach nz"
Ang talahanayang ito ay nagpapakita ng ilan sa mga sagot sa mga tanong 1-3 sa itaas.

Kaya gumawa ng listahan - ngayon din, isulat ang ilang posibleng keywords na maaaring hinahanap ng iyong mga magiging customer, at samakatuwid ay kailangan ang iyong negosyo na maging VISIBLE para sa.

The purpose of the exercise is to come up with 5-6 keywords (or more if you’re prepared to do more work) that represent what customers would search to find your offering. Your goal is to use the below steps to maximize the level of authority that search engines view your website in relation to these particular terms.

The ultimate goal is to build your website into an “authority” for certain keywords in the eyes of search engines such as Google. If they see you as an authority website for “home electrical north shore” then they can be more confident in ranking your website higher for such terms.

Your website content

If you’ve read this far then there is one crucial thing you need to know. Writing articles is a culture change. You need to build the habit of searching for content, taking those content ideas and writing Articles, publishing them to your website and then sharing them on 3rd party websites such as Social Media with links back to the specific Article page.

Sumulat ng mga artikulo kasama ang iyong target na mga keyword.

Before you commit to reading any further, here’s proof of a local Auckland building company (Peninsular Builders) that took the time out to write a couple of Articles on their Dazzly website. Here’s the proof this works. Don’t believe us? Call Steve and ask him – it’s a real company operating in Auckland since 1985.

Case Study: Peninsular Builders

Peninsular builders achieves page 1 for two niche keywords and the valuable “decks whitford” keyword.

Ito ang modernong paraan ng pagmemerkado ng iyong mga serbisyo, ngunit nangangailangan ito ng kaunting oras upang lubos na maunawaan. Sa ngayon, magpatuloy sa pagbabasa, at sana'y makita mong kaugnay ang mga halimbawang ito.

While “natural timber deck whitford” isn’t going to be a massive driver of traffic – the people that do search it have a high probability of wanting to make an enquiry with a local provider. Nonetheless it proves the point.

Kahit na ito ay isang hindi gaanong niche, mas mahusay na keyword, nanalo ito sa pamamagitan ng parehong Artikulo.
screenshot of a google results page for keyword decks whitford
"decks whitford" — Peninsular Builders has earned Position #4 of Page 1 (clearly a more competitive keyword with value) but note that it only took a single targeted article to start receiving traffic for this.

In this search result, as it contained a local term, it showed the map of the Whitford area within the search result. Note that the businesses “Select Decking and Fencing”, “Deck and Fence Pro – Auckland” and “Ezydeck Ltd” were shown above any organic results due to the fact that they have set up Google for Business for their service area but they also have collected reviews – more on this later.

Publishing an Article with Dazzly

With our easy-to-use interface, writing Articles is an absolute breeze with Dazzly. It's as easy as writing a word document or sending an email to a friend.

  1. Title

    The Title field is very short and Dazzly tells you how many characters to use, Titles such as “Quality Home Plumbing Services in New Plymouth | NP Plumbers” are valid.

  2. Description

    Descriptions such as “For quality residential plumbing services in New Plymouth reach out to the local experts. Leaky taps, drainage and more.” These are just guidelines but also valid structures for your Title and Description fields – do not miss these.

    At this point, it is fair to mention that most people who make websites do not either appreciate or know how to set these fields within their websites. Generally speaking, unless explicitly instructed, they will not take the time to carry this out so doing so will really put you ahead of the competition, particularly if you’re outside of major cities.

  3. Main Image

    A relevant image is essential in order to make the most out of an Article. Photos taken on mobile devices can also embed location data, increasing your relevancy for search engines. Include a Maikling paglalarawan ng imahe para sa mga may limitadong o may kapansanan sa paningin o iba pang kapansanan, para sa karagdagang impormasyon mangyaring tingnan ang ARIA guidance.

  4. Written Content

    Don’t go over-board with the keywords, keep it natural, you’re already doing well if you’re doing this regularly anyway. Some people will try to write “we’re the best wood delivery service in Auckland” several times, even within one paragraph. Modern search engine algorithms are advanced, they will detect this and essentially assign your content a lower score if there is a large, unnatural repetition of keywords – so keep it simple & keep it natural.

How often should I write articles?

1 Artikulo kada buwan ay mahusay.

You want to ensure each article targets 1-2 major keywords – naturally by writing about recent plumbing jobs in New Plymouth you would be raising your reputation/authority score for keywords contained in that article. This, again, is why we ask you to put the keywords — naturally — in the title and description. Since you’re targeting multiple keywords and there will be existing competition it would really pay dividends to kick-start your website’s content with 1-3 articles about services or products you want to attract inquiries for.

1 bawat quarter ang dapat na iyong pamantayan.

Depende sa iyong kasalukuyang iskedyul ng negosyo, edad ng negosyo, at kompetisyon sa merkado, ang paglabas ng isang mataas na kalidad na nakasulat na piraso kada quarter ay isang mahusay na paraan upang mapalakas ang iyong organikong ranggo para sa mga keyword na iyong inaasinta.

Pag-set Up ng Iyong Google Para sa Business Listing

Pagkakaroon ng Google for Business Listing ay tumatagal lamang ng ilang minuto upang i-setup at i-verify. Tulad ng ipinapakita, ito ay ipinapakita sa kanan ng mga resulta ng paghahanap at hiwalay at naiiba mula sa mismong website listing. Tandaan na ang High Maintenance Abseil website ay niraranggo bilang una kapag itinype mo ang pangalan ng iyong negosyo, ito ay karaniwang nangyayari kapag na-index na ang website sa Google (karaniwang isang linggo o dalawa pagkatapos ng go-live).

Create your Google Business Listingopen external link icon

Simulan ang pagbuo ng iyong Business Profile

  • Ilagay ang Pangalan ng Iyong Negosyo at kategorya

  • Piliin kung ang iyong negosyo ay may pisikal na address

  • Ilagay ang impormasyon ng contact

  • I-verify ang iyong impormasyon sa Google

Add more details to your listing

  • Add some photos and/or videos relevant to your business and area

  • Create a single post for every article that you post on your website. In the Google for Business post link back to your website (more on this below). Make your first post – or better yet – write your first article and then make a post telling people to look at the article. When you get a few reviews then your post may be shown in local searches too!

Getting reviews

Mahalaga ito para sa mga lokal na service provider – kung gusto mong makakuha ng A+ sa aming mga talaan, kailangan mong hanapin ang iyong review link at isama ito sa iyong email signature – at personal na hilingin sa iyong mga customer na mag-iwan ng review kapag gumagawa ka ng trabaho sa kanilang tahanan/opisina. Kung natural mong maparami ang mga review mula sa mga tunay na tao sa iyong lokal na komunidad, tataas ang iyong ranggo sa Google at mas maganda pa, ang iyong listing ay ipapakita sa lokal na search map, na partikular na mahalaga para sa mga paghahanap na batay sa lokasyon.

Mga link sa labas ng pahina

Tuwing ang isang website o webpage na iba sa iyong sariling nagli-link pabalik sa iyong website - iyon ay tinatawag na isang back-link o off-page link. Ang bilang at kalidad ng mga link na ito ay maaaring makaapekto sa kung paano niraranggo ang iyong mga webpage sa mga pahina ng resulta ng search engine. Ang mga link na may magandang kalidad ay madalas na nagmumula sa ibang mga site na itinuturing na mapagkakatiwalaan, naglalaman ng maraming maganda at kaugnay na impormasyon para sa iyong industriya at nakakakuha ng maraming website traffic.

Ang mga site ng balita ay mga klasikong halimbawa nito, hal. nzherald.co.nz at stuff.co.nz. Ang mga site ng balita ay madalas na nakakatanggap ng maraming trapiko at maingat na sinusuri ng mga search engine upang mapanatili ang kanilang awtoridad. Ang mga direktoryo ng negosyo ay maaari ring maging isang madaling paraan upang makakuha ng mga link pabalik sa iyong website at madalas itong libre.

Social Media ay maaari ring maging isang magandang paraan upang magdala ng ilang panlabas na trapiko sa iyong website, kahit na ang mga link na ito ay karaniwang hindi gaanong mabigat para sa mga layunin ng pagraranggo, ito pa rin ay isang magandang ideya upang ipakita sa mga search engine kung paano nauugnay ang ibang panlabas na nilalaman sa iyong website.

Mga Setting ng Pahina ng Website

These are really important to set as natural text but including a target keyword. Tingnan ang Peninsular Builders Google Ranking Images Sa Itaas – tandaan na ang Title at Description ay mula sa Title at ShortDescription field sa Articles (ginawa na namin ang trabaho para sa iyo sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng Title at ShortDescription na iyong ipinasok nang likhain mo ang Article). Ang mga ito ay magpapakita sa Google Search results at magpapalakas ng kaugnayan ng kanilang website para sa mga terminong ito.

Paalala – Kapag sumali ka sa Dazzly paid plan at inilunsad ang iyong website, may karapatan kang makakuha ng isang libreng SEO consultation – i-redeem ito ngayon at ang aming magiliw na support team na nakabase sa Auckland ay tutulong sa iyo sa bawat hakbang ng pag-optimize ng iyong website.

Social Media

Love it or hate it, social media has a place in every business’s online presence. Whether there is an obvious synergy (online natural product seller using Instagram) or an industrial supplier of electrical services, social media plays a different but important role in both cases.

Sa pinakamababa, kahit ano pa man ang iyong negosyo, kailangan mong maglaan ng oras upang lumikha ng isang profile sa mga sumusunod na social media platforms at gumawa ng kahit ISA man lang na post na tumutukoy sa/nagli-link pabalik sa iyong website. Sa pinakamababa, ito ay magbibigay ng batayan para sa iyong presensya sa social media at ilang pangunahing off-page links upang makapagsimula ka.

Nagsama kami ng ilang mga link para makagawa ng mga account para sa mga pangunahing Social Media platform.

Once you’ve created these accounts and made a post linking back to your website you can pat yourself on the back, sign-out and never look back (just kidding). While not everyone thinks that social media is the next best thing since sliced bread, we should continue to look objectively at how it can be used for your business.

Para sa mga layunin ng gabay na ito, gagamitin natin ang social media upang pana-panahong mag-post ng mga link pabalik sa ating mga website na may Mga Artikulo upang magdala ng trapiko doon at ipakita sa mga search engine. Ang mga post sa Social Media na sinamahan ng mga kaugnay na Larawan at Video ay mas maganda pa – at ang parehong bagay ay nalalapat sa Mga Artikulo at Google para sa Negosyo (tandaan – mga limitasyon sa pag-post ng video open external link icon).

Konklusyon

In some cases, it is foreseeable that the business owner could use and refine their use of the above techniques to substantially improve their ability to drive traffic to their website and to generate product sales or business enquiries. In other cases, there is value in having a very basic presence across several off-page websites (such as social media websites), but may not present much immediate value beyond that. One should not overinvest their time into SEO looking for the answers to their sales/success. Regardless of the case, SEO is something learned over time with practice and will never be an overnight hit except in some special cases that occur when you’re competing for extremely new emerging trends – but this is outside the scope of this article.

It is fair to say though, that for many businesses, a solid block of time can be used to tend to most “urgent” SEO issues and then implementing periodic processes to write and post announcements of Articles on several independent websites isn’t too arduous if it were to produce marketing results. There are of course social media poster tools that can help you with this.

Beyond establishing a basic presence online, through the Dazzly software, anyone in New Zealand can now create a website for their business as the centre of this presence. Regardless of IT skill, design skill, or general computer proficiency. Through utilising the above practices of Marketing Review, Google for Business Listing, Off-Page Links, On-Page Links, SEO Variables and Social Media Posts to raise their profile online, they can produce a long-term marketing asset that will generate local, regional, or national business inquiries for them, while at the same time sharing their knowledge, experience and quality content with current and potential customers.

We hope you bookmark or save a copy of this Article and implement the above techniques. If you run into any trouble our 100% kiwi customer support team is here to help.

We hope you enjoyed this article. We encourage you to reach out to our team on 0800 112 942 or support@dazzly.co.nz with your thoughts and also if you require advanced SEO support, paid advertising or further any assistance in this area. As always, Dazzly has your back.
