What Is Organic Visibility?

When it comes to marketing your business online, there are many methods to the madness. There’s the pay to play way (online advertising), and then there’s the organic way. Organic results are all the traffic and attention your business gets online without you having to spend money. It comes from a lot of consistent, quality work with content marketing, social media, website improvements, and more.

Romance Your Business with a Marketing Visibility Plan

Wondering how to increase your business visibility online? Well, it takes many different methods of marketing working together in perfect harmony:

Take your date—we mean website—to WordPress

When you think of online visibility, the first thing you probably think of is search engine optimization. And you’re right! The best way for people to find your business is in the Google SERPs. And, the best way to optimize your site for search engines is to use the right content management system.

WordPress is by far the best CMS for SEO. It has certain capabilities and features that allow users to customize their site and optimize it for the search engines better than others.

The more the merrier; Invite the Google Bots to come party

Simply creating a user-friendly site and leaving it sitting there is not enough! After you’ve got your site up and running, invite the Google Bots over to index your site. When they crawl your site, they’re looking for content to index and offer to users who are searching for answers to their questions or solutions to their problems.

Improve your crawlability to encourage the Bots to return. They’ll continue to index as you add more and more content to your site.

Don’t know what to eat? How ‘bout something organic?

Organic results are the best results in our opinion. Customers are more likely to click on your site when they find you through organic results, as opposed to an ad. Increase organic traffic and online visibility through quality content, keyword research, and consistent effort.

Have your previous lovers leave reviews

People trust online customer reviews as much as—if not more than—organic results. Getting a recommendation from a friend or another user shows them a business is reputable and trustworthy.

Create a strategy for asking for customer reviews, and reply to existing reviews. This shows other users that your brand is alive and functioning, and that you care about the satisfaction of your clients.
