Philadelphia Carpet Cleaning

Philadelphia Carpet Cleaning

Recently I started a project for one small carpet cleaning company based in Philadelphia.

Company wants the same thing as any Carpet Cleaning company. To be on top on specific keywords such as

Carpet Cleaning
Floor Installation
Hardwood Floor Care
Natural Stone Polishing
Water Restoration
Carpet Stretching

and others.

I did some research and found that is not that tough. For example keyword “Philadelphia carpet cleaning” gets only 2.3 million results. Compare to 17 million for “Baltimore Internet Marketing”

Anyways, I come up with the list of keywords, redesigned the whole website, created great path structure, attached bunch of WordPress SEO plugins and ready to get things started.

I am also planning on conquering the other local searches in 3 different states, so we’ll see.

Right now the website has less than 300 visits per day, let’s see how can I help this company to get more clients in this tough Carpet Cleaning Business

How to generate sitemap XML

Vpromoter — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 03:17:55 +0000

First of all why websites need sitemaps?
Because they make Google’s life easier, and if you help Google, Google will help you too

Website sitemap is a file that tells Google bots when your website was last updated, what is the exact website structure and how frequently your website is updated. Having website sitemap let’s your website get scanned by Google bots once you do the change, instead of waiting for the next week or month to scan your website.

So here are simple steps to get your sitemap up and running. These instructions are for those who run WordPress. If you don’t run WordPress, then you should get your website in WordPress immediately!

Step #1: Go to Plugins -> Add New in your admin area
Step #2: Enter “Google XML Sitemaps” and once you see it, click Install
Step #3: Activate your plugin
Step #4: Go to General -> “XML Sitemap“, it will read:
The sitemap wasn’t built yet. Click here to build it the first time.
Step #5: Generate Sitemap
Step #6: It will now read something like:
Your sitemap was last built on April 25, 2011 2:56 am.
You can click on a sitemap to see your sitemap. You can of course tweak it the way you want by tweaking the plugin settings.
Step #7: Login to your Gmail or Google account and then go to Google Webmaster Tools – this should be one of your best friends from now on: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
Step #8: Click on Add a website and enter your website name
Step #9: Verify your website by downloading and uploading to your website a file that Google uses to verify you as an owner.
Step #10: Click on your website name, go to Site Configuration -> Sitemaps and click on Submit a sitemap.
Step #11: Enter: sitemap.xml and click submit.

That’s it! It will improve your website positions and will help Google to index your website better!

How to get on Google’s 1st page? Live example

Vpromoter — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:00:23 +0000

Everyone nowdays has a website, but most websites have no visitors, and are no use, because Google doesn’t see them

My job is to promote my client’s website on a Google’s top search results and bring a traffic to my client.

Actually I haven’t done anything mystirious, I just followed my own internet marketing articles, and here we go, the flash website with 0 visitors got onto Google’s 1st page, with very competitive keywords – Hair Salon Baltimore.

Here are proofs of that, in case you are reading this article several years later

#6 on with keywords – Hair Salon Baltimore

#2 – Natural hair care salon Baltimore

#1 – Natural hair salon baltimore

My client’s website is highlighted blue, I don’t want to advertise it, since we terminated our relations. My client sincerely thought that I have to promote and maintain her endless requests for free.

I am sure that, after a month or two, she will lose her positions, and get back to a position where she was before. Let it be.

I have to notice though, that I have done only internal optimization, not external – there was no budget for that at all, but with external promotion – my client’s website would be 1st on most competitive keywords.

Bringing thousands of visitors monthly.

SEO for small businesses

Vpromoter — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:59:44 +0000

There are thousand reasons why small business should be in Internet, we all know that.
Let me introduce you how small business can attract people to its website, including search engine optimization (SEO) and people from social media. We will cover only common ones, and mention other ways towards the end of the article.

Yellow Pages:

Any small business should get into the YellowPages related website directories. Here is a short list of Yellow Page Websites:

Another two I would really recommend using.

Google.Maps: If you have Google account (gmail or youtube account), you have a chance to add your business to a map and when people will be searching for a local business – they will be able to see your listing.
Yahoo Locals: Works in the same way as Google Maps. Adding your business to Yahoo Locals will also help you in your search positions if you have a website that you mention in Yahoo Locals listing.

There are 3 important things you should know when creating your identity in MySpace.

Design - It should be really cool, so that people will understand that you know how to present yourself.
Here are some stunning MySpace pages – http://www.almostwinterdesign.com/designs/myspace-designs
Number of friends - the more friends you have, the better. In the beginning, when you don’t have any, you can use “MySpace search” and find people in your area, or with similar interests. And add them as friends.
Cool widgets, like slideshow and music players will show that you are not an old fashioned person, who likes to read books and never chill.

Free ways to market your self on a Facebook

Your profile page

One of the most visited pages on facebook. This is where you should put your complete profile, with interests, websites, job descriptions etc. Promote yourself, and your brand on your profile page, and be sincere when communicating with others.

Facebook Groups

Facebook groups can be very powerful tool in attracting new people to your products and services. Post your pictures, open discussions and communicate with your clients, partners and potential customers. You can also announce product or service news here, so everybody in the group will have a message from you, and since they are already interested, they can buy more than any other people who comes to your website.

Attracting new people can be difficult in the beginning, but it’s fairly simple. Add more friends, and invite them into your group. Suggest your friends to invite their friends. Give useful information of discounts to group members. Help them with their questions and you will be rewarded!

External promotion

Vpromoter — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:54:16 +0000

External promotion of your website is basically getting incoming links from other websites, to increase your PageRank and to get to the top of the Google Search listings.

Very important factors:

The other website should link you from the main page, or at least from the page with a high PageRank.
The link should have good anchor.
For example SEO and Internet Promotion in Maryland is a lot better than just a link like http://vpromoter.com/
The more your referrer’s website related to your website, the better. That is logical because if your industry’s websites think your website is cool, that is more trustworthy than somebody who just put a link to you because you paid to them.
Reciprocal links between two websites value less, than one way links. That shows that you didn’t just exchanged with links to increase your pageranks.

FREE ways to get incoming links:

Free Catalogs – coming soon

Social Bookmarking – coming soon

Blogs – See our Blogging Tips section.

Forums – coming soon

Other resources (like Yahoo.Answers or Google.Groups)

Or you can try to pay somebody to put a link to your website. Preferable someone, who’s website comes on the first page of Google Search Results.
