Atascadero SEO Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add SEO to my website myself?


Most small businesses, no matter how technically astute the staff, don’t have the time or resources to design an SEO-enabled website. Nor are the resources available to continually evaluate and monitor emerging SEO technologies. Other tasks for improved SEO rankings include: 
Regularly scheduled updated content, blogs, service pages, and FAQs.

Access to digital marketing services that feed SEO criteria to business news outlets, increasing your visibility to search engines.

Interpreting Google Analytics and how to leverage the data.
Troubleshooting website hosting issues. 

At Access Publishing, we do all of this and more for you. 

How do I know SEO is working?

You will start noticing early signs that it’s working within three to six months. The search engines need time to index your website and web pages and evaluate your website for SEO ranking criteria.

These criteria include: 
The quality of the website and blog content. Is it original and unique? Does it satisfy a user’s search? Content that is original, helpful, and trustworthy increases ranking.

How quickly does the website load, and is it mobile-friendly?

Does it use links to reputable websites to increase the credibility of content?

Is the website navigation easy and responsive?

Is the website built on sound, current technologies? 

The Access Publishing team structures websites to meet all of the ranking criteria, including researching and writing original, meaningful content. Our goal is to launch an SEO-enabled website that delivers results as soon as possible.

How does SEO get people to search for my business? 

SEO directs people searching for the products or services you offer to your business through the search engine ranking system. People who know your business search for your business name. People who don’t know about your business search on things like “bakery in Atascadero,” or “coffee shop Atascadero.” If your bakery website is SEO-enabled, and your keywords are similar to the search string, the search engine returns a list of bakeries to the searcher. 

SEO done well increases your position on that list, and our goal is to get you to rank as high on the list as quickly as possible. Higher rankings mean more engagement. SEO is a way to reach new customers who are not familiar with your business.

Think of SEO as creating longterm visibility. Once your website is SEO-enabled, it works for you 24/7.

How do we choose the right keywords?

You want keywords that feature products, services, or important aspects about your business that people want. 

Access Publishing helps you create your keywords and then we utilize those keywords in your website content and blogs. 

Our knowledge of the search language models used by search engines helps us format and place your keywords in your web and blog content to appeal to users. For example, for a baker named “Good Baked Food,” using the keyword “Atascadero bakery,” we would use the keyword to feature your offerings, such as: 

Good Baked Food is the Atascadero bakery for morning coffee, croissants or strawberry muffins, and to pick up a couple fresh loaves of sourdough. 

When Italian herb breadsticks are on your menu, stop by the Atascadero bakery for the freshest, tastiest experience.
