Create Google Friendly Content • Organic leads as we discussed yesterday can lead to High Profits • We talked about using some easy ways like Activerain.com to get the instant authority • We talked about consistency being the key to creating the action step • We talked about the fact that no matter “platform” you use, the basic structure is the same • These are the Google Rules • To understand the rules, you need to know a little about Googles search software, the latest of which is Hummingbird • Hummingbird, is Google’s latest update. The new algorithm represents the biggest change to Google’s search functionality in 10 years — • One of the most telling things about Google’s recent updates is that the company chose to illustrate them with images of its mobile app, not its desktop site. That’s no accident. • To sum it up, it looks like this: • 1. Mobile is the future, so Google should be attuned to answering search queries in the most mobile-friendly way. • 2.People tend to be conversational with their mobile searches (“How do I get a mortgage for a house?”) • 3.Soooooo, the future of Google search is mobile-focused and question-oriented. • Core to what Google is doing with Hummingbird is a shift in focus away from keywords and towards intent and semantics, which are infinitely more relevant to users. • While the Google of a decade ago was focused on delivering search results based solely on queries, the Google of today is drawing insights from a variety of other signals — location, social connections, and even your previous searches. • SearchEngineLand’s Danny Sullivan told VentureBeat by email… “Have good, descriptive content, and you should be doing all you can be doing to tap into long-tail searches,” • SEO consultant Andrew Shotland, puts it slightly differently…“Hummingbird is forcing website owners to ask, ‘How can I answer questions that customers are asking Google?’ • You are answering YOUR customers questions with YOUR expertise • Think of the most recent question you got from a borrower • That is what your article about • Think of the niche program you would like to sell more of • That is what your next article is about • Think of the next transaction you have closing • That is what the article after that is about • The first Rule of Google is have a Good Title – • Based on your articles subject matter – figure out what people are searching for • Ubersuggest.org – (for this example we are doing an article on Renovation Loans/FHA 203K) • My title Needs to contain “buying first home to renovate” • So follow the Google Rule #1 My title is “Are you buying first home to renovate?” • But wait - The second Google Rule is – Make it Local • Remember Google is searching the title first (especially if you are using an authority site as the launch pad) • Google will always provide a user with a local relevant result first • So to follow Google Rules 1 and 2 – My title is “Are you buying first home to renovate in Clearwater, Fl.?” • Your content can be written in the most legible fashion you like • Because your title is your topic, you will have your main search words in the body of your content • However you can increase the Google Juice factor by having the “key phrase” sprinkled into you content Have your “key phrase” in the first sentence of the article. People scanning result pages see the early words first. If your key phrase is at the start of your article, your page is more likely to get clicked on “When you are buying first home to renovate in Clearwater, make sure you know all the facts.
