12 Keywords You MUST Rank #1 For on Google | Automated Social Networking 3.0 #SoulcialMe

When business owners talk about ranking #1 on Google, they usually think there’s one magic keyword that will send them endless amounts of traffic and customers. Over the years, speaking with a few thousand professionals, I can tell you that the overwhelming majority feel they only need to rank for one or two keywords, too.

If you’re in that boat or not getting the results you want from the internet, listen-up.

The harsh reality is, in order to absolutely own, dominate, and saturate a local market to become the “go-to” and most recognized business owner, you MUST be everywhere a potential new customer would search online. Google is only one part of the equation but we’ll use it in this blog example.

Getting your business website to the top of the organic listings (left side) of Google is where you can own the lions share of the search traffic if you understand how Google ranks pages.

As mentioned in previous blogs, the top ranked website on Google gets over 70% of the overall clicks for any given term. If you’re not #1, you’re not in the game! Just having a first page ranking doesn’t mean squat anymore.

Here are 12 primary keywords that you MUST rank #1 for to monopolize the local, potential customer search traffic

- (Your Business Specialty) (Your town) — example –> Divorce Attorney Detroit
- (Your Business Specialty plural) in (Your town) — example –> Dentists in Atlanta
- (Your Business Specialty plural) (Your town) — example –> chiropractors Boston
- (Your town) (Your Business Specialty) — example –> Charleston financial planner
- (Your town) (State Abbrev.) (Your Business Specialty) — example –> Charleston, SC financial planner
- (Your town) (Your Business Specialty synonym) — example –> Los Angeles Dentistry or Houston Lawyer
- (Your zip-code) (Your Business Specialty) — example –> 30044 Realtor
- (Your Business Specialty) (Your zip-code) — example –> Plumber 30067
- (Your zip-code) (Your Business Specialty synonym) — example –> 48161 chiropractic
- (Your Business Specialty synonym) (Your zip-code) — example –> chiropractic 48161
- (Your Business Specialty) offices (Your zip-code) — example –> dental offices 30303
- (Your Business Specialty) offices (Your town) — example –> dental offices Miami

Now, in truth, this is just a starter list. Ideally, you want to rank at the top and blanket the search engines for at least two dozen keywords and related phrases. We didn’t even go laterally into solutions you might solve in your business that internet users search for.

How many of these keywords above does your business website or content rank #1 for? If you’re like most, you might rank #1 for a couple or you don’t rank at the top for any.

This is far from market domination and better strategy must be employed if you want to realize exponentially more new customers monthly.

Even though, there are minor variations in some of those keywords (like a one letter substitution), this makes the keyword different and you must optimize separately for it.

Since 2005 I’ve been teaching this same exact keyword domination strategy.

And, you know what? It’s worked every time for professionals that have applied these focused marketing methods. It will also work 10 years from now because it’s foundational unlike the latest and greatest short-lived tricks other local marketing “gurus” teach.

You must own a couple dozen keywords if you want to pull serious windfalls of traffic without spending any money on traditional advertising. With that said, should SEO be your only strategy?… Hell no!

You must combine SEO, social media and other forms of internet marketing for maximum effect.

We have a lot of local business clients that get an extra 20+ customers from Google / month just by using the highly-effective SEO strategies we perform to rank for dozens of keywords locally. There’s an art and science to getting to the top AND staying there permanently.
