Welcome! If you have questions about this course, please feel free to email me.rwong@medicalmarketingenterprises.com
Medical Marketing Enterprises, LLC was started to teach medical professionals the importance and techniques of website marketing for their medical practices. I am a retina specialist in Fairfax, Virginia.
SEO is the process of translating your website’s text, or content, into meaningful data understood by the search engines. It allows you to convey the proper information to the search engines so your pages may outrank your competitors. Your website, with proper optimization can become your best marketing tool with the best ROI!
This is our home page of our website. It is designed for a human reader.
This is what the search engines “see.”
SEO translates our home page to a meaningful message for the search engines. It translates information allowing the engines to better index, and then rank, our site.
All of these tools are free. Most can be obtained from Google. All you need is a GMAIL account. Listed here are some of the basic “tools” for any website to get started with its SEO (Search Engine Optimization).These are most of the elements that must be contained on a site or are tools used to improve the over SEO quality/score of your site.
An analytics package is expected to be installed on every site. Analytics can give you detailed information about your readers, also called visitors or traffic, to your site. Most demographic information about your readers is available; origin, browser used to look at your site, articles read, how long they stayed….or bounced!
This tool is useful to make sure that your site is functioning properly. Does it contain linking errors? If so, are they handled correctly? Webmasters tools is really a diagnostic tool for the website owner. Open your account when starting your website.
Not necessarily a true SEO tool, but it’s included because having an Adwords account allows you to use Google’s “Keyword Tool.”Keyword tools allow you to find or compare “keywords,” words commonly used by readers for “search.”You want to learn and use those words for which you care to rank highly.
These are the 3-4 lined ads you see littered on most webpages. They really have no SEO use, but I added for the sake of completion (I always get confused with Adwords).
Facebook and Google are competing for local search. It’s important to “claim” or create these pages. These pages can help your business/medical practice and your webpage be noticed. Google + pages may help your overall page rankings!These sites are free. Creating a “page” does not need to replicate your website! You can do it yourself or hire someone inexpensively.
The title, or title tag, of your website should clearly describe what services you provide or products you sell. Too often it is completely ignored or is simply used incorrectly. Which do you think conveys more information about my site? In other words, which “title” best answers a typical search query?NOTE: Most webdesign companies do NOT know much SEO. Too often this key element is ignored.
As with an analytics package, a sitemap is an expected element of every website. Websites not containing this file get a poorer SEO score. The search engines look first for this file, a listing of every page contained on the site, to ensure indexing of every page. Trusted sites, professional sites practicing “white hat” techniques will have the site. “Black Hat” sites….won’t.
Go here and follow the directions to list your site here.
As with the sitemap, this is simply a necessary file that should be created on every site….even if it contains nothing. Merely having the file can boost your SEO. Again, it’s a white hat vs. black hat filter and shows that you know what your doing….from an SEO point of view.
Domain ownership is all about trust. Trusted sites rank better than non-trusted sites.
More sites on the web are now viewed using mobile devices. Your site must be mobile responsive. Your present website can be become mobile ready for free or by purchasing an inexpensive plugin.What happens when you can’t download a webpage or file? Same is true for your readers. If your site takes forever to download….you’ll lose traffic. Google understands this and so do most of the hosting companies. This does not mean you need to spend a lot of money on your hosting account. In most cases, you won’t have to spend anything extra!
Your website can implement all the right tools and contain all the right element for proper optimization. Your content is, however, the most important element to getting your site ranked!
