Organic SEO and Search Optimization - Toronto
Why optimize metatags?
The first contact a searcher has with your web site may be via Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). In fact, A Professionally optimized website should attract 50% or more of its organic search traffic from search engines alone.
Search engine results appear as hyperlinked title tags and short descriptions, both of which are snippets of html text: When properly written, these snippets of text inform searchers and search engines as to the nature of your pages.
In addition, well written metatags motivate searchers to click-through to your website. Properly crafted title and description tags act as 'Marketing Messages' that will help your search optimization efforts; in some cases, motivating searchers to contact you prior to visiting your website!
A large part of Organic SEO involves creating informative and targeted metatags that improve organic search optimization and rankings; thus, generating more qualified search traffic for you and your site.
Common title and metatag mistakes
Google states in its Design and Content Guidelines to "Make sure that your TITLE tags are descriptive and accurate."
Title tags provide opportunities for you to target valuable keywords and phrases vis-à-vis organic search engine results. This opportunity is often squandered, the biggest mistake being the 'Welcome to [your company name here]' title tag, and worse, having duplicate title tags on each page of your website.
You have space in your title tags for about 70 characters and space in your description tags for about 150 characters, both of which represent your web pages in SERPs. Wasting this valuable space is search-engine suicide, especially for those targeting organic seo results and search optimization.
Title and meta tags should serve as guidelines for search engine robots (spiders), validation engines and web browsers, not as welcome mats. For maximum organic seo results, every page of your website MUST contain 'unique and targeted title tags'.
