To accurately test your website's web presence you need to test
at least six different keyword search phrases, and really the more
phrases you test .... the better idea you will have of your website's
performance on the search engines AND against your competitors.
The best way to do this is to leave out your company name from
the keyword search phrase because ideally we are researching as
if we are a new customer who has never heard of your company. We
are testing for people who know what service or product they want,
and we can use proven keyword phrases that people use in their searches.
The common Formula is Profession/Service + Location, or Location
+ Profession/Service
So for example .... lets say we own a condo in Panama City Beach
Florida. We need to know if people can find our condo website using
their search engine, if they can't .... we have a problem! People
searching for this service using a search engine such as www.Google.com
typically type the following search phrases into the search box:
- Panama City Beach Condos
- Panama City Beach Condo
- Condos in Panama City Beach
- Condo in Panama City Beach
- Panama City Beach Condos Rental
- Panama City Beach Vacation Rental
If you have the above keyphrases configured into your condo website
then you have a great chance of attracting new customers to your website.
Take notice of how your competitors rank too, if they consistantly
show above you in the search results then you are probably losing
business to them.
You can copy and paste the search phrases above ( and change the
profession/location as needed ) into Google
and Yahoo and
then test your companies web presence against your competitors.
