Editor's Notes
- Search engines have become an essential part of how people find care provision.
- Let’s look at how Sarah approaches SEO and Website Analytics. She is the Head of Communications at Constant Care.
- Constant Care serves a potential community of 100,000 with a particular learning disability. A rough estimate at the total community affected by this condition puts it at 1,000,000. To day Sarah’s monthly unique visitors are only 10,000 a month which means she is routinely only reaching 1% of the total community.
- With 5% annual growth in website visitors,,,,
- Sarah is facing a 95 year wait before she reaches all the community via digital.
- On top of this, Sarah has a full workload of newsletters, emails, publications and fact sheets to manage. Her CEO has also just popped into find out why they aren’t No1 in Google for Learning Disability…..
- Sarah dreams of her far off simmer holiday and her attention turns to her withered pot plant on the windowsill. She spends the rest of the day bringing the plant back to life.
- After considering the best environment for the plant, moving the plant into the light, adding water, giving the plant food, propping it up with proper support, making notes of what works best for the plant, managing the pests around the plant Sarah brings the plant back to life. She also realises that she needs to repeat all these steps on a daily basis to keep the plant healthy on an ongoing basis.
- Could her plant be a bit like her website? Sarah begins by considering the environment her website lives within – her community of 1,000,000 people.
- She does some community research.
- These are some of her findings.
- Sadly her website is not well suited to the environment of her community.
- She starts an action list of what to do with her website.
- Could sunlight be a little like audience insight?
- She considers key questions that her audience ask and writes down the language they use. She then asks the same questions of her website and sees if the answers are the same – a little like Mr and Mrs.
- She finds that they are talking a different language.
- Sarah adds to her to do list.
- Sarah uses incognito browsing to test out the search results for the key terms that her audiences are searching for.
- Again Sarah concludes that her website is not matching to the sunlight conditions of her community.
- Sarah considers whether content is as vital to her website as water is to her plant.
- She assesses all her content for usage and quality.
- She talks to her friend Zak Costperclick who is an SEO consultant.
- Zak has a number of golden rules for how to create content optimised for search engines.
- Sarah creates a content schedule to help her overhaul her content.
- Zak has feelings for Sarah and sends her some flowers!
- This makes Sarah wonder whether she can add some instant colour and traffic to her website through Google Grants.
- Sarah wonders whether getting people to link to her website could boost traffic like plantfood.
- Providing support to her plant is like ensuring her website has the right technical support to ensure search engines can crawl around the site.
- Sarah ask Zak to help her out once more.
- Zak produces a site audit and identifies a number of things which need to be fixed in her site.
- Sarah adds to her agency’s to do list.
- Sarah considers the next time she tenders her website ensuring that the brief ensures key SEO technical requirements.
- Sarah considers whether other people competing for the same audience are like pests?
- Sarah considers how to respond….
- Sarah likes to keep an eye on things and write them down. Analytics is like keeping a journal to see what works and what doesn’t work.
- Sarah considers how to best read statistics.
- Sarah decides that these factors are the most important stats to consider.
- So Sarah has gone from being overwhelmed…
- To day dreaming…
- To bringing her plant and her website back to life.
- Time to kick back and relax.
- But not so fast…her website needs tending just like her plant.
- Just like a gardener gets into good habits…
- So Sarah needs to adopt good SEO habits.
- Sarah’s traffic growth goes from 5% to
- 50% which means instead of…
- Reaching all her community in 95 years…
- She can reach them in 12 years!
- What sort of growth are you getting in traffic and outcomes? When do you reach all your commmunity?
- How do you improve your SEO skills. You could learn more, you could employ more staff or you could engage an outside expert.
- Good starting points for learning.
- Answers to some VODG member’s questions.
- Ideas around staffing up.
- Or go to an external expert. Here are three I would recommend.
- To recap, Sarah is good at bringing plants back to life.
- The same goes for bringing her website back to life.
