What is the best way to grow organic search traffic

Part of the On Web Marketing™ Information Center.

The best way to grow organic traffic is to publish structured, useful content that mirrors real searches.

The best way to grow organic search traffic is to become a useful, clearly organized source of information in your space. There is no single trick that works for every business. What does work in almost every case is a steady, focused effort to publish content that answers the questions your buyers actually ask.

Focus on what people really look for

Start by listening to the language your clients use. They rarely speak in buzzwords. They explain their situation in plain terms. Those phrases are exactly what you want to reflect in your content.

Use an Information Center instead of random posts

An Information Center is a simple idea. You:

  • Pick a core topic or service area.
  • List the questions, concerns, and comparisons around it.
  • Publish clear, focused articles that address each one.

Over time, these articles increase the number of queries you can appear for. That is how organic traffic grows in a durable way.

Think in months and years, not days

Organic search growth is gradual. With a plan and a structure, the work you do this quarter can keep paying off next year. An Information Center gives that work a home and a direction so that each article builds on the last.
