SEO Tips
A free URL will be hard to optimize. It is recommended to have your own domain and your brand or domain name should appear both in the title and the keywords. The keywords are the words you want to lead to your site when visitors search it on Google. It’s also better to use words that are specific to your own site and avoid words like ‘New York’, ‘mobile’ and ‘photographer’.
It is also recommended to have as many links leading to your domain as possible, including from your social media pages and accounts, relevant blogs, online magazines, etc.
Our internal SEO system is a super strong one and sites built on it are usually first in searches. However, this is a process that may take a couple of weeks, depending on Google’s indexing so in events where the keywords are very competitive, external SEO work may be suggested.
There are several online tools in which you can check the best words for you site and can run SEO checks in sites like http://www.seoworkers.com/tools/report.html
These sites provide information on your domain as well as suggestions on improving specific words and phrases.
That’s it.
