How to improve SEO with Kajabi

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a great way to drive new and existing customers to your site, content and digital products. Let's go over some ways you can improve your SEO with Kajabi and get more customers.‍

What is SEO?‍

Search Engine Optimization is the practice of increasing the amount of organic search traffic your site is receiving from search engines like Google and Bing. SEO typically includes 3 major categories:

• On-page SEO: This includes content you're creating and things like the titles and meta data you're including.
• Off-page SEO: This includes the amount of quality of backlinks you're getting, social media links and more.
• Technical SEO: This includes things like page speed, user experience, Schema markup and more.

‍Why is SEO important for your business?‍

Having your brand or product appear at the top of search engines brings a sustainable source of traffic to your site. And there are a lot of people searching: Google processes at least over 40,000 searches a second.

A leading SEO Services company says that users trust the search engine results because they are aligned with their intent. That intent is great for digital business owners like you. If somebody searches for "online vegan cooking classes" and comes to your vegan cooking course product, they're more likely to convert than a random visitor you get.

SEO isn't the only way to drive traffic to your site. You can use social media, build out your email lists and use paid campaigns. But, SEO is a tried-and-true way to build a strong digital business.‍

• Log into your Kajabi account
• click on the "Website" tab
• click on "Blog"
• click on the "Setting" section of your Blog
• put in your Blog title and meta description.

Remember, this is for your blog as a whole, not each individual article. You should also create a different title and meta description for your blog than for your homepage. It can be similar though: if your homepage SEO Title is "Example.com" your Blog SEO title could be "Example.com blog."

• Under "Website," click on "Blog"

Your SEO Page title can be the same as your blog post page title. We advise including relevant keywords in the SEO title and the page description.

SEO consists of three major categories: on-page optimization, off-page optimization and technical optimization. Kajabi empowers you to improve your SEO through on-page optimizations and technical optimization. There are many steps you can take to improve your off-page optimization.‍

Make sure your site is being indexed properly‍

All the on-page optimization in the world won't help if search engines aren't actually crawling your site. You can sign up for the free Google Search Console to submit your site, as well as monitor your performance.‍

Get backlinks from reputable sites‍

Google was originally built with backlinks as the main signal of trust. The idea was: if this many sites are linking to one site about a topic, that site must be authoritative.

Google and other search engines have evolved to include hundreds of other ranking factors. But, backlinks are still an important way to rocket up the search charts.

You can get more backlinks by:

• Claiming your business on sites like Google My Business, Yelp, Bing Local and on social media sites
• Producing high-quality content and having others in your industry link back to it - you can use a content workflow software to make this easier
• You can guest post on sites that have a relevant audience and include backlinks to your site and content.
• Leveraging a link-building agency that can generate backlinks to your content on your behalf.

There are also a variety of free SEO tools you can use to track how well your SEO is performing.‍

How to use SEO in your business strategy‍

SEO is just one part of what you need to have a successful digital marketing strategy. After all, SEO gets them to your site, it doesn't guarantee people will take the actions you want.

That's why it's vital to take multiple steps to make your pages high-performing when it comes to conversion. That includes using compelling copywriting and following the best practices for landing pages.

Even if you're at the top of Google for your niche, your audience may not always be ready to buy immediately. That's why it's important to use things like Kajabi Forms to get information like their email. From there, you can nurture these potential customers through robust email marketing.
