Is the traffic to your website dwindling? Are you struggling to rank in even the least competitive keywords? Here are three reminders of ways to inch your way back up in the rankings, one click at a time.
Here are tips to Grow your traffic
If you have ever suffered from a weight problem, you know how important it is to weigh yourself every day. If you let a month pass before you step on the scales, you get a harsh reminder of all the times you skipped your morning workout or ate that extra plate at your favorite Indian buffet.
Instead of getting down in the dumps about your ranking, let your lousy traffic remind you that it is time to get back to the basics. We aren’t going to share any brand-new strategies, but these are tried and true techniques that will enable you to inch back up the rankings. Just as you will eventually inch back into your favorite jeans.
1. Be the best content for moms 2020 and beyond.
Be the ultimate guide in your niche. You want your website to be the ONE that a friend recommends to another friend for a specific child-related issue.
Do you specialize in picky eaters? Then you need to have the best recipes that teach other moms how to hide kale in macaroni and cheese or carrots in chicken nuggets. You need to have valid research from certified nutrition experts to back up your techniques. Your website needs to have depth and substance. It can’t be full of 200-word blogs about how your little Jonah finally tried watermelon.
Perhaps you have found your niche in sensory-friendly clothing for children. You need to be the one-stop-shop for all those frustrated mothers who are trying to find socks with no seams or shirts without tags. You need to find research-based methods to help your child expand their clothing options, and you need to teach those tired moms strategies for getting to school on time.
If you are serious about increasing the ranking of your website, you need to be serious about your website. The information should be helpful, realistic, and content for moms 2020 and beyond.
2. Evaluate your images.
Words are great, but when you are trying to get the attention of busy moms, you only have seconds before they become distracted and leave your website. Sure, you need to have research-based, in-depth articles, but you also need to accompany them with eye-catching graphics full of the valuable information you are trying to share.
You can’t be good at everything. Instead of spending frustrating hours trying to develop a sharable graphic for your website, consider hiring a freelancer to do it for you. Find a graphic designer on Fiverr or Upwork to create a visual that shows an appropriate amount of sleep for each aged group or a step by step guide on how to add bling to a child’s dance costume.
People share images. They put them on their Pinterest boards to refer to later, and they share them on Facebook to help out their friends.
Believe us, if you get a few attractive graphics that are full of top-quality information, your rankings will inch higher and higher each week.
3. Use SEO checkers.
If you are like most mommy bloggers, your priority is to provide a safe place for people to discuss parenting topics. You probably have a niche that you are passionate about, and you want to give other parents resources that have helped you in your parenting journey.
You probably didn’t start your website because you LOVE to learn about search engine optimization strategies.
Unfortunately, to help others find your website, SEO is part of the game. You probably have read guides found on our site, but you also should be aware that there are applications available to help you as well.
Take a look at Content Analysis by SEO Review Tools and Content SEO Checker. Both look like typical word processing programs, but after you write your content, helpful SEO strategies and reminders appear at the bottom of the page. You will receive a reminder to write a meta description and to include your keywords in one of your headings. Seriously, these tools could change your life.
More than anything, remember not to get discouraged. As cliche as it sounds, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it will take time for your website to become an authority in your subject matter.
