Do you have a blog? “Why are you asking me this Greg?” I’m asking you because it’s the key to getting your website listed on page one many times. I can prove it to you right now. Google “dry cleaners pittsford ny.” Google it without the quotes. Go do it now so that you’ll pay attention to what I have to say.
Did you do it? As you can see, I own five listings on page one of Google for the keyword “dry cleaners” and then my town and city. I have half of page one space for the top keyword that people search when they’re looking for a dry cleaner.
When someone is looking for a dry cleaner, they search for:
dry cleaners [your town] [your city] [your postal code]
dry cleaner [your town] [your city] [your postal code]
dry cleaning [your town] [your city] [your postal code]
These are the top keywords (according to Google’s Keyword Tool) which you can find at adwords.google.com. So what does this have to do with your blog? For some reason, Google loves blogs! And they really love WordPress blogs. So this is what you have to do: Write a bunch of blogs using the top three Keywords and you’ll get listed real quick on page one of Google, and the other search engines. This is called SEO, which is Search Engine Optimization.
And the blog posts don’t have to be “Hemmingway-ish” either. I flunked 11th grade English and I can write a blog that gets to the top of the search engines, and you can too. And if you really despise writing, get an employee or a teenager to write it for you.
Here is a sample blog post from my website:

As you can see, I used my keyword “dry cleaners pittsford ny 14534” in the headline and in the first sentence. This is a very short blog post and this is all you have to do. You don’t need an English degree to get this done. If you’d like to see all the blog posts I’ve done, go to: http://colosicleaners.com/blog and check it out. You’ll see that there is nothing to it.
At the very bottom of this post you can see what I tagged. Tagging is the technical part of blogging. It’s very simple. After you get done writing a post on your blog, you have a section thah helps you tag the keywords you used in your post. Take a look at all my other posts on my website and you’ll get the idea.
This is NOT rocket science. I was guided by my SEO guy to do this. I had no faith when I first started posting. I did not think it would work. Within a couple of weeks I was getting listed on page one. So I wrote another blog and it was listed on page one. And then I wrote another and another. You get the idea.
I bet your competitors are not doing this. Mine aren’t. So this makes it very easy to get listed and listed fast! Go to my website and poke around and see what I’m doing and just do the same thing. Can you do that? And if you want us to do it for you, we can do that too.
