The Importance of SEO in the Wellness Industry
Firstly, what is SEO? Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is
about understanding your customer, what sort of content they want and the type
of words they use. In the wellness industry is for the most part (depending on your
particular field), a highly saturated market and it can be difficult for an
organisation to stand out from their competitors. Using SEO directed at the
type of customer you want to attract. Using a tool like https://keywordtool.io/ can help in
researching the right keywords to use as it provides a listing of keywords that
are relevant to your field including search volumes and trends.
SEO is free with time being the only investment. SEO helps
increase your visibility online, whilst SEO improvements help to drive traffic
towards your website, increasing traffic should be more than a means to an end,
it should accomplish an objective of your organisation. These objectives could
be more time spent on your website or a certain amount of pages visited, the
objectives you decide to set will help guide you in the choices you make for
your SEO improvements.
There are 2 perspectives to take into account when working
on improving your SEO, that of your potential customer and also of the search
engine. For search engines, bots crawl content and index content, this is then
indexed. The bots try to find and understand all the content on the internet to
deliver the right results.
For potential customers, once you have an understanding of
who they are, you can use long tail and short tail key words. Short tail could
be something as simple as gym wear for example, whereas longer more specific
phrases people would search for like ‘blue women’s gym shorts’ provide more
relevant results than a short tail phrase, it is important to note that people
using these long tail searches are more likely to convert to a purchase.
