Tips to position your event on Google

Create content according to your keywords:

Your main keyword should be the keyword around which your landing page revolves. It should accurately describe the content of the page, as well as represent the values or be closely linked to the brand.

Secondary keywords are more detailed supporting words that are also closely related to the main keyword and the text itself. If you include secondary keywords in your content (naturally, of course), you will probably improve positioning.

Short and descriptive URLs:

An effective URL should:

  • Use the keywords
  • Be simple
  • Be concise

Use backlinks from high authority websites:

Backlinking is the process by which other websites link to each other and is achieved by adding links from other sites as a source of complementary information to yours.

These links show search engines that you are an authority on a topic and should rank well. The more links there are pointing to your site, the better you will rank.

Mold your content according to the search engines:

The words used are as important as the content you are going to offer, that’s why you have to understand and readable for users. Regarding the form, you should adjust it to what fits with search engines.

Don’t forget page titles and keep in mind the importance of meta descriptions:

Keep in mind that users decide whether or not to click on your page based on these small sections. That’s a lot of weight in a few words. So, make sure they are impactful.

Remove anything that loads slowly:

These types of things tend to generate a high bounce rate on your page. The longer it takes to load, the less time users will spend on the page.

Use internal and external links:

You should implement both, just for the traffic they generate and optimization. Internal links direct users to other pages on your website, while external links take them to other websites and resources. Both have a very favorable impact on your SEO.

Add links to your graphics:

If you create such images for your website, you can consider letting others use them for free in their blogs and articles. However, before this, be sure to add a link to them.

Generating backlinks through images is a good way to improve your authority on a topic.

Increase the number of words:

The more words you write, the more keywords and backlinks you can include. Always taking into account the length and what this means for your website. If it slows down the pace of this, it is better to shorten it.

Propose original content:

When adding new pages to your website it is important that you publish original and valuable content for your subscribers and potential customers. The more you stand out among similar websites, the more traffic and therefore, the more viral your content will be.

Write content that always provides value over time:

When writing content, think that it must retain its long-term value for users. You should avoid breaking news, data that changes over time or seasonal content. In general, news that will generate value for a short period of time.

Implement a Site Audit:

By conducting an SEO audit of your website, you can improve the content you produce. These audits are designed to determine what you are doing well and what you need to improve.

Use a checklist:

This will help your page stand out in searches. You can then build your page around that keyword. Use in the headline and heading for more emphasis.

Analyze your competitors:

Some of the things to consider when analyzing your competition are: positioning, keyword usage, social media mentions, backlinks, on-page content and traffic volume, among others. In addition, by comparing your competitors’ websites with yours, you will find out where you can improve. If one of your competitors is very popular on social media, take a look at their tactics and follow their example.
