Consistent Website Colors, Theme and SEO Keywords

For example, if you are a business entrepreneur specializing in dog sitting, keep the name of your business simple. Use terms a pet owner would use to find you such as dog sitting. That’s the whole game behind using a search engine. When you write your evergreen content, think of the keyword terms your ideal prospect would consistently use to find you in a search engine. Use your keywords in the title of your website page, the domain name of your company name, in the content of your blog posts and especially in your website’s home page content. Be consistent in using your keyword. Humans AND Google will love you for it!
Remember to use regular English words your ideal prospect would use. Would they look you up by your company name? By your company name and the city in which you are located? By your name? In the dog sitting example, your domain name could be www.dogsittinginphoenix.com. Since you can’t virtually dog sit for a dog in Japan, you are logically looking for local business. So keep your keywords locally aimed.
The title keyword found on your homepage could be dog sitting, Phoenix, AZ. In your YouTube videos, use the same strategy. Share dog sitting tips with your customers and for the keywords use dog sitting, Phoenix, AZ. Key the idea? Do this with all your social media, FB, Pinterest, Tumblr, whatever you use. It will be much easier to find you.

But, it would be better if the search engine contributors would use terms their ideal prospect, customer or client used when creating their website.
Ever feel frustrated about trying to figure out how to find a certain listing in the phone book? You know…that thing that’s a paper weight under the wobbly leg on your dining room table? (Just kidding…) This is why it’s important to reduce or eliminate frustration on the part of your searchers. Think like them and use THEIR idea of ideal keyword search string patterns.
Hey, you know what? Some savvy business owners do just that. They program their website and create tags and meta descriptions in a way their ideal prospect, customer or clients thinks. And they rank on page 1 for doing that. You can do it, too.
It’s a great big crazy world out there. You can get ranked on Google’s page one by staying focused on the right keywords! Simply use the search terms that your ideal prospect uses to search for your product or service.
