Understanding SEO for Flooring Companies
To effectively market a flooring company, a combination of strategies is recommended, including paid search ads, local search ads, and organic search marketing. Ranking high on Google, whether in Google Maps or search results, is crucial for attracting more customers.
Many customers trust organic search results more than ads, viewing them as referrals from Google. Achieving top organic search rankings in Google Maps and Google Search can lead to increased traffic, calls, and revenue.
Initially, it’s important to grasp the basics of SEO and conduct thorough keyword research. Identify the types of pages to create, such as service, product, and location pages. Tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, Ubersuggest, Google Keyword Planner, and Moz Keyword Explorer can be useful.
Also, use tools such as Google Analytics to measure the effectiveness of the SEO effort for your flooring company.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Local SEO is closely related to the Google Business Profile, a free and easy-to-manage tool. Regular updates with photos, videos, keywords, and products are essential. An optimized profile with numerous reviews and content can improve search rankings.
Ensure the Google Business Profile is fully optimized with accurate information like business name, address, phone number, website links, social media links, and keyword-rich descriptions.
Actively encourage and respond to reviews using relevant keywords, and consistently post updates while connecting social profiles. Creating profiles in citation directories, such as Facebook, Apple Maps, LinkedIn, and Yelp, acts as referral links that are beneficial for local business profiles.
- Optimize Google My Business
- Keyword research
- Create citation profiles and directories
Prioritize optimizing websites for smartphones, focusing on mobile optimization, page speed, user experience, and user interface. Encourage five-star reviews on platforms like Google My Business, Yelp, and Facebook.
Website SEO: On-Page and Off-Page Optimization
On-page SEO involves optimizing elements within the website, such as page speed, mobile-friendliness, and metadata. It includes optimizing titles, tags, descriptions, and compressing images.
Off-page SEO focuses on external factors like backlinks, citations, and directories. The website’s structure and URLs should be keyword-rich, with each page targeting a specific keyword. Create dedicated pages for each service, product, and location to improve search engine rankings.
Backlinks are referral endorsements that improve a website’s domain authority and trustworthiness, leading to higher keyword rankings. Strategic backlink acquisition involves creating high-quality content, participating in community events, and collaborating with local partners.
It also includes writing testimonials, and engaging with social media influencers. Prioritize earning backlinks from reputable sources and avoid unethical practices like buying backlinks in bulk.
The important aspects of SEO tactics: site architecture, content, backlinks, indexing, keywords, and local rankings. Also, optimizing each page for on-page SEO and building domain authority.
Domain Authority and Website Analysis
Domain Authority (DA) is a score that indicates how much Google trusts a website; a higher DA leads to better keyword rankings. Tools like Ubersuggest can be used to analyze a website’s SEO performance, including traffic, keyword rankings, and backlinks.
A website’s DA is based on the number and quality of backlinks. Consistently updating a website with fresh content is important. A website that doesn’t keep up with SEO standards may lose ranking results.
For example, Armstrong Flooring has a high domain authority, millions of backlinks, and ranks for thousands of keywords. Their website has hundreds, if not thousands, of pages.
Creative Marketing and Additional Tactics
Consider creating interesting and creative videos for social media to engage potential customers. Remarketing ads on platforms like Facebook and Instagram can be effective, especially for users who have previously visited the website.
These ads have high attribution and conversion rates. Utilize Google Ads with specific keywords and local service ads to target potential customers effectively.
Prioritize optimizing the Google Business listing, website for on-page and off-page SEO, and backlinking strategies.
