  2. For SEO, you might also want to talk about how organic CTR is now influencing rankings, so it’s more important than ever to be testing title tags and meta description tags. Organic CTR data is available only in Google Webmaster Tools.

  17. claiming place pages might be too remedial, but should be included for local parts retailers.  Detroit Diesel isn’t a great example (but only relevant parts client), as they have over 700 service providers and 8 parts providers and none have really claimed/optimized listings.  But, the strategy would be to have all parts providers and service providers claim and optimize listings.
  18. Image source: http://blog.kissmetrics.com/landing-page-design-infographic/?wide=1Think about the first 3 seconds after you click on a result on a Google search page.You are waiting to see what is on the landing page, you are looking for a product or message that closely matches what you searched for, and you are looking for something that tells you what you need to do next – whether it be BUY, or DOWNLOAD, or SUBMIT A FORM.Creating landing pages with the user experience in mind will only help your quality score. There are number of ways to do this.First, use related keywords in the headline or in the most prominent text on the page. This tells the user that this is the page that most accurately addresses their needs.Make sure you then continue to use related keywords in the body copy on the page – this will reinforce for the user that they are on the right page and that they should stay there and complete a conversion action.Ensure that you don’t have excessive images or other page elements that cause the page to load slowly. Users typically won’t wait for more than 5 seconds for a page to fully load so measure your speed and make adjustements accordingly.Be explicitly clear with your call to action – don’t assume the user knows what you want them to do – you need to tell them. So if you’re an ecommerce site, a button with a standard and familiar message such as “Add to cart” would be your call to action. For a B2B business, maybe you are looking for leads so something like “request a quote now” might be an appropriate call to action. Don’t hide it and don’t make the user guess what they should do – make it front and center and absolutely clear.Two other things that are standard on most websites, though are critical for a landing page in the eyes of Google, are links to the site’s Privacy Policy and also an About Us (or similar) link. Google wants to ensure that the sites that their searchers are landing on are on the up and up – these two elements help to convey to Google that this is a real site, with real people behind it. If you don’t have these linked to from some sort of navigation on your landing pages, such as in the footer, consider adding it immediately.

There are number of ways to do this.First, use related keywords in the headline or in the most prominent text on the page. This tells the user that this is the page that most accurately addresses their needs.Make sure you then continue to use related keywords in the body copy on the page – this will reinforce for the user that they are on the right page and that they should stay there and complete a conversion action.Ensure that you don’t have excessive images or other page elements that cause the page to load slowly. Users typically won’t wait for more than 5 seconds for a page to fully load so measure your speed and make adjustements accordingly.Be explicitly clear with your call to action – don’t assume the user knows what you want them to do – you need to tell them. So if you’re an ecommerce site, a button with a standard and familiar message such as “Add to cart” would be your call to action. For a B2B business, maybe you are looking for leads so something like “request a quote now” might be an appropriate call to action. Don’t hide it and don’t make the user guess what they should do – make it front and center and absolutely clear.Two other things that are standard on most websites, though are critical for a landing page in the eyes of Google, are links to the site’s Privacy Policy and also an About Us (or similar) link. Google wants to ensure that the sites that their searchers are landing on are on the up and up – these two elements help to convey to Google that this is a real site, with real people behind it. If you don’t have these linked to from some sort of navigation on your landing pages, such as in the footer, consider adding it immediately.
