Christian Marketing: SEO Basics

Christian Marketing requires the same basic principles of any marketing strategy. And SEO, search engine optimization must be part of the foundation of your ministry marketing plan online.

SEO is the process of optimizing your pages in your website or blog so it will rank high when people search for things via Google or any other search engine.

Christian marketing using SEO is about the content on your site and picking the right keywords for your content, whether it be a article, blog post, or video. Picking the right keywords for you content is key for people to find you so they can link to your pages on your site.

The key to finding keywords is research!

You have to be able to find the exact keywords that relate to the words and phrases that people in your target market type into a search engine to find that which they are looking.Typically, the more specific the phrase, the higher it will convert. You also have to keep in mind of LSI: Latent Semantic Indexing. All this means is the related words related to your keyword or related themes.

For example, you have golf swing as you keyword. Related words could be clubs, swing, courses, shoes etc.

It's good to have these related word so as to show the search engines, such as Google, that you are not just stuffing a page with keywords but actually producing real content (of real value).

So keyword research is a vital internet Christian marketing tip.

One keyword tool that is free is Google. As I show in my video above, it is a very easy tool to start some basic discovery of finding your keyword.

SEO also involves some on page factors you need to consider.

The first and most important factor of everything you do is how your page is structured with the title tag. The title of your web page or video should have no more than 65 characters, and the keyword should start the title with related (LSI) phrases in it.

Another on page factor is your description. Use your keyword in a short description concerning what your page is about, including your related words to the keyword.

Using Wordpress Blogs are great because you can download plug ins, such as the SEO All In One Plug-In to help your posts and blog rank well in the search engines.
