Drive Leads, Traffic and Sales With Your Website Through Link Building
Your website is your business' most critical marketing asset. But here's the problem...it's leaking traffic, leads and revenue right now. As a marketing manager, or business owner, the number one question you need to ask whether or not you are getting found online. Choosing the correct CRM software for your business is a big part of the solution.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an absolute must-have to any website strategy, but it takes hard work and consistency when aiming for the top spot. Link building is a fantastic way to organically increase your SEO while simultaneously driving traffic, leads and ultimately sales growth.
Every website on the internet has the goal of reaching the #1 position in search engines but because there is only one top spot per keyword phrase, not everyone can make it. So what gets a first place ranking? Off-page search engine optimization (SEO) is the most important factor to increasing your ranking results.
Off-Page SEO is about building inbound links, essentially getting other quality websites to link back to you. Search engines call this authority or “link juice.” The more inbound links you have, the more important your site must be, thus the higher you’ll rank.
Link building, when done right, isn’t easy since adding links to other websites is sometimes out of your control. Here are some tips to building inbound links:
Create high-quality, educational or entertaining content. If people like your content, they will naturally want to link to it.
Submit your website to online directories. This is an easy way to start.
Write guest posts for other blogs. This is a win-win for both parties. People will want extra (quality) content from others and in exchange, it’s a great way to build inbound links.
Researching link building opportunities with other websites, but always check the authority of the websites that you are trying to get links from. There are many tools online that allow you to check domain or page authority, including HubSpot’s link grader tool.
And don’t borrow, beg, barter, bribe or buy links.
