This is to verify that you are the owner of this website, it might be difficult and very tedious at first and might not work you just have to try again but trust me it is worth it. The essence of this is that Google is adding your website to its address book to verify that you have a website and you have been added to their address book just like you will add your friend on WhatsApp or his/her number to your phone book, it also comes with a lot of features to help you monitor your site and keep it save too. Now that your website has been added you have to wait a day or 2 for any analysis to be made sometimes a month in order to monitor your website. I will advise anyone with a website to first start with verifying at Google console it is also referred to as Google webmaster.
Google console can do a lot for you. It can monitor your traffic, improve your HTML and fix security issues and lots more At the left column of the image you can see all the information and issues it can help you with to optimize your website.
KEYWORD RESEARCH:
One mistake people do is to think that they must put in or type their exact business keyword or exact phrase to get the best result, this is not the case most of the time you need to do some research and out of the box thinking, you have to add keywords that are opposite to your keyword or a bit similar, for instance, if you are a website designer there is no harm in adding logo design, graphic design to your web pages or content, your about page and services page.
This will trick Google search bot to alert your website or bring it up even though you are not a graphic designer, so this has given your website publicity to someone else that might refer it to another person by sharing your link.
Add your website then click submit the keyword density tool will analyze your website to see if you have good keyword ranking. If it is poor, sorry you have to remodel your to have a more buzzing keyword that matches your business. This a nice and powerful tool because it will also show you places or social media where your site has linked to or has a backlink which means your website is going place.
A keyword is one of the most important and effective tool/tip for getting traffic to your website and getting ranked high. In order for Google bots and search engine to see your website and rank it high you have to be pushing these keywords around your website, do some serious research and hard work, this is not just fixed, find and go, you have to keep doing this every month or twice in a month.
How does keyword help you and lets people find you? Just like you are searching for clients and customers online, people are also searching for you, but they just can't find you out of thin air from millions of website and even some providing the same service that you are providing, so the steps to take to get strong powerful and most search keyword is to go to Google keyword tool
What you have to do here is type in a word related to your business for example if you are a website designer type in website designer and click the search button.
Then select your country search engine to be able to target your ad in your location. If you want to target the whole world just leave it at the default google.com when you type search this is what you will get a lot of words people are searching for
The next thing for you to do is to add as many of these keywords to your website about page or service page, or your site description in YouTube or in the description in a business listing where you have placed your website. So next time someone searches for a particular keyword relating to your business they can easily find you or your site might just pop up. Like I said one or two of these tips, techniques and SEO tools might not make your website very effective you need to use a combination of a lot of SEO tools. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization
Another very effective way of using keyword is on your own website. Since Google systematically searches for most searched keywords and directly finds your site it will be helpful also to mention the keyword you want to be found and ranked for in Google search engine inside your website as often as possible at least 5 to 10 times in your first 100 paragraph. For example, I am talking about SEO tools I have mentioned it here and also 3 times in my opening paragraph and a couple of times inside my post. Google is optimized to search for the fastest and most informative and effective websites out so leave a comment to let me know what you think and let me know if you have any problems. See you in my next post. SEO tools and techniques are one of the ways you could get more organic traffic to your website without having to pay for ads, so the more you practice using this tools and techniques the better chances of ranking higher in Google search engine.
