Introduction {#introduction}
Hey guys, Joe Burnage here with Big West Marketing. In this video, I want to demystify SEO ranking on Google and explain how it specifically applies to contractors in the construction and remodeling industry. I know that keywords and SEO jargon can be confusing, but I'll break it down for you in simple terms. Let's dive into the world of SEO and discover how it can benefit your contracting business.
Understanding SEO Ranking {#understanding-seo-ranking}
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the process of improving your website's visibility on search engines like Google. When people search for specific keywords related to your business, you want your website to appear at the top of the search results. This is important because most users only click on the first few results, so ranking higher increases your chances of getting more traffic to your website.
Finding Keywords for Contractors {#finding-keywords-for-contractors}
Using Google AdWords {#using-google-adwords}
To find keywords relevant to your contracting business, you can utilize the Google AdWords Keyword Planner tool. Start by signing up for a Google AdWords account if you don't already have one. Don't worry, you don't need to run paid ads to use this tool. Once inside your AdWords account, click on the wrench icon at the top right and select "Keyword Planner."
Narrowing Down Keywords {#narrowing-down-keywords}
In the Keyword Planner, select the option to search for new keywords. Specify your location, focusing on the United States or any other English-speaking country where your business operates. Begin with broad terms like "general contractor" or "contractors" to get a list of related keywords.
Observe the average monthly searches column to identify popular keywords. Handpick the ones that best suit your contracting business. Make sure to download the keyword list provided in the video description for your reference. Remember, the list I compiled is a good starting point, but it's essential to customize it based on your specific services and location.
Using Keywords for Paid Ads {#using-keywords-for-paid-ads}
Pay-Per-Click with Google AdWords {#pay-per-click-with-google-adwords}
Once you have determined the keywords you want to target, you can use them in your pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns through Google AdWords. These are the ads that appear at the top of the search results with the "Ad" label. With PPC, you pay for each click on your ad, and it can be an effective way to generate immediate traffic to your website.
Optimizing SEO for Google Ranking {#optimizing-seo-for-google-ranking}
Apart from paid advertising, SEO also focuses on optimizing your website's content to rank organically in the search results. Ranking organically means appearing in the non-ad sections of the search results, such as the map section or lower on the page.
To optimize your website for SEO, you need to carefully select the most relevant and highly searched keywords from your list. These keywords should be specific to your services and location. By targeting these keywords in your website's content and meta tags, you increase your chances of ranking higher on Google's search results page.
Developing a Strategy for Keyword Usage {#developing-a-strategy-for-keyword-usage}
Understanding Search Volume and Relevance {#understanding-search-volume-and-relevance}
When developing a keyword strategy, it's important to consider both search volume and relevance. Search volume refers to how many people search for a particular keyword, while relevance relates to how closely a keyword aligns with your services. It's essential to strike a balance between high search volume keywords that attract more potential customers and specific keywords that align with your expertise.
Focusing on Profitable Services {#focusing-on-profitable-services}
To maximize the effectiveness of your keyword usage, focus on the services that generate the most profit for your contracting business. Pay attention to keywords that indicate a strong intention to hire, such as "general contractors in Denver." By targeting these keywords in your SEO strategy, you increase the likelihood of attracting qualified leads who are ready to take action.
Conclusion and Further Resources {#conclusion-and-further-resources}
In conclusion, understanding SEO ranking and using targeted keywords are essential for contractors to increase their online visibility and attract more customers. By utilizing tools like the Google AdWords Keyword Planner and developing a strategic approach to keyword usage, you can optimize your website for both paid ads and organic search results.
