Four Ways To Improve Your SEO
Have You Searched Yourself Online? Your potential clients will…will they find you?
SEO – Search Engine Optimization – Is the process of maximizing the number of visitors to a particular website by ensuring that the site appears high on the list of results returned by a search engine.
Four Ways To Improve Your SEO
- Update the content on your website regularly. Regularly updated content is viewed as one of the best indicators of a site’s relevancy, so be sure to keep it fresh! Update your photos, blog, add new heading tabs, or change out the video on your home page, etc. as often as you are able.
- Publish relevant content on your website and identify a keyword or phrase. Think about what your reader might be searching for “homes in Gearhart”, “First time home buyer”, etc. Whatever the topic, repeat the phrase several times.
- Have a link-worthy site. Focus on creating relevant links within the text. Instead of having “click here” links, try writing out the name of the destination. “Click here” has no search engine value beyond the attached URL, whereas “First time home buyer” or “The home buying process” will improve your SEO rankings.
- Use alt tags. This goes beyond simply naming your photos when you save them, although this is extremely important and if you are not doing this you should! Alternative tagging is naming a photo or video inside a blog or on your webpage so when a person does a search your website will be found based on the search keywords.

Are You Coachable?
(Which of these are true and to what extent?)
2. When I'm given feedback/ criticism, I think about it for a few moments before responding rather than immediately defending a position or action. (If you don't, you're likely not giving it real consideration.)
3. When I'm given feedback/ criticism, I ask questions about it in order to try to better understand it. (A good sign.)
4. I feel my work's purpose is to serve my (external and internal) customers. (“You're gonna have to serve somebody.” – Bob Dylan)
5. Over the last year, I've changed/ revised my position/ approach to something because of the advice of another individual. (Is it reasonable to go through an entire year without revising a position/ approach to something and still feel you're open to development?)
6. My manager invests time in my professional development. (If s/he doesn't, it might be because of a perception that you're not interested in your professional development and over time … you've been labeled uncoachable … scary).
There's no cute rating scale here. These questions are simply meant to raise personal awareness (when answered objectively and truthfully).
