If you write a blog, follow these instructions to improve your search engine visibility, and to direct hundreds – perhaps thousands – of visitors to your site.
.
Caveat: there are lots of different organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) methods but this is a basic process that can help the overall visibility of your work and drive up traffic.
.
1. Think of your idea.
.
2. Now try to think of your idea in the form of a question. Preface it with, “How” or “Why” or “Where”. Keep your question small and concise.
.
3. Access Google’s Keyword Search Tool. You can just Google that phrase or access it directly at: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
.
4. Type in your question into the “Word or Phrase” box. Confirm the captcha (the funny-looking word that’s provided to confirm you’re a person), and press search.

5. These are the phrases and terms used by people to find the answer to your question. Sort the Local Monthly Searches column by clicking it. The Monthly Searches column show the number of people in your local area searching for your question with a specific set of keywords.

6. Look for the Keywords found in a range of 70,000 – 100,000 searches. Note that you won’t be able to compete for the highest search terms, but you can take the middle of the road, or, even the lower frequencies above 10,000 and below 50,000 if they’re upwardly-trending.

7. Choose an exact keyword phrase from the list that best fits the topic of your post. Find a keyword pattern that has a high or upward trend rate. Use this exact phrase as the title of your post – don’t add words or spice it up. Just use this exact phrase.

8. Repeat this exact phrase in the body of your post. Not excessively – maybe three times.

9. If you’re familiar with meta-tags, this exact phrase should be found in the Title and Description of your post.

10. Wear, wash, rinse, repeat. Do this process for all of your blog posts.

Over time, you will develop rich content on your blog/website that will channel visitors looking for an answer to the question you thought of. This will improve your visibility to search and make it easier for people to find you.
