A Search Engine Optimization Technique Your Competition Isn’t UsingWriting by Nick Stamoulis on Monday, 18 of February , 2008 at 1:32 pm
Want to get an edge over your competition? Everyone knows about Search Engine Optimization - search this, search that, search yackit-yak-yak. It’s all been said and done before. Or has it?
Well, there is one technique that you can use in your search campaign that you competition likely is not using. And if you are a local business marketing yourself to your local neighbors then you can gain an even bigger edge that will catapult you way over the head of your competition.
This search technique is so easy to implement you can do it five minutes. You’ll have your already existing website crawled within 48 hours and re-ranked. Small print: Other considerations may cause your website to be crawled less frequently. For most of us, though, this technique will get Google back to your website in just a couple of days and re-ranked.
I’m talking about including your business phone number in your description tag. Whenever searchers see your phone number in a search result they immediately think credibility. In many cases, they won’t even visit your website. They’ll just call you right off of your SERP listing. If you are local and you want to rank for a local area then the zip code in your phone number will help with that local ranking. This is a powerful technique. Try it.
