Keyword research is a crucial step in SEO, as it helps you understand what terms and phrases your target audience is searching for. Do your research before you start optimizing your website, to help inform what terms and phrases you should optimize on your website!
Zibster provides on-page SEO tools to help you optimize your website's content. You can utilize these tools to strategically incorporate relevant keywords or phrases into your page titles, headings, meta descriptions, and alt tags (for images). As you do so, remember to maintain a natural and user-friendly flow of content. Search engines can spot keyword stuffing and this can negatively impact your search ranking.
On each page of your website in the Zibster platform, there is an SEO section that you can edit.
By default our system will automatically generate metadata from your page content, or you can set up custom metadata. When you select custom, you will also see tips for preparing content for each piece of metadata.
Page Title
Your Page Title is a brief & accurate description of your website & business. It appears in both Google search results and open browser tabs.
Optimal: 55-60 characters. Example: "Sunflower Bakery | Greater Los Angeles Area".
Meta Description
Your Meta Description should summarize your page’s content. Search engines display this to give users a brief summary of the page/website before they click on it in search results.
Optimal: 50-155 characters. Example: "Sunflower Bakery is an experienced bakery that specializes in cakes, including birthday, wedding, and anniversary cakes. Serving the greater Los Angeles Area."
Keywords
Keywords and phrases should be unique, separated by commas, and relevant to the content of your page. You should use no more than 15 keyword phrases per page to avoid being penalized by search engines.
Example: "Sunflower Bakery, Los Angeles Bakery, Los Angeles Cake Shop"
