How to Identify and Refresh Outdated Content

When someone regularly adds new content to their sites, they face an inevitable question: What happens to my older articles? The way blogging works is really unfair to your past work: It gets buried in archives, losing traffic and relevance. Is there a way to keep your content always up-to-date? Yes, but first let’s discuss the why. Why update your content? Keeping your content fresh and updated is more than overcoming the unfairness of your past work fading away. It's actually a legit marketing tactic that saves money and makes your users’ on-site experience smoother. So let’s dive into why updating old content is so important: 1.

How Your Local Business Can Be a Helper

Posted by MiriamEllis “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.” — Fred Rogers This quote is one I find myself turning to frequently these days as a local SEO.

How to Create a Useful and Well-Optimized FAQ Page

Posted by AnnSmarty The golden rule of marketing has always been: Don’t leave your customer wondering, or you’ll lose them. This rule also applies very well to SEO: Unless Google can find an answer — and quickly — they’ll pick and feature your competitor. One way to make sure that doesn’t happen is having a well set-up, well-optimized FAQ page. Your FAQ is the key to providing your customers and search engines with all the answers they might need about your brand. Why create an FAQ page? Decrease your customer support team’s workload. If you do it right, your FAQ page will be the first point of contact for your potential customers — before they need to contact you directly. Shorten your customers’ buying journeys. If your site users can find all the answers without having to hear back from your team, they’ll buy right away. Build trust signals. Covering your return policies, shipping processes, and being transparent with your site users will encourage them to put more trust into...
