5 useful tools to understand your client’s needs P

Business

What happens when a search is done?

When someone does an internet search they use a search engine, either Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo or one of the others.

Google is the most widely used search and two of Google’s top ranking factors for any website are LINKS and CONTENT.

Let’s examine each factor, see how it affects your website, and how IAA Better Business Alliance membership will help your business stand out and be found by new customers eager to use your business.

Search Engines Love Links

Most businesses, including yours fall within the seven leisure categories of Stay, Dining, Play, Events, Exploring, Shopping and Services. The IAA Better Business Alliance’s Community of websites help your business to connect with the customers who are interested in one or more of these categories. Let’s look at how this works if your business is a Bed & Breakfast.

Customers you want to connect to could be visiting your area because of activities, destinations, or services which are close to your Bed & Breakfast. Your business profile on the BBA website and our community of websites allows you to establish links back to your site from the activities, destinations and services near your business. By helping potential customers satisfy their “needs” you give search engines many new ways to help customers find your business.

STAY For Example, if your business is a Bed & Breakfast, then the STAY category would be your PRIMARY category.
DINING If your B & B has an onsite restaurant your business could also belong in the DINING category.
PLAY Your B & B business may be close to activities like whitewater kayaking which would give you a listing in the PLAY category.
EVENTS Your B & B may also host meetings, weddings or elopements so your business would also belong in the Events category.
EXPLORING If your business is close to natural or historic sites, this could mean a listing in the EXPLORING category.
