KEYWORDS
Search engines measure the ways keywords are used on pages to help determine the "relevance" of a particular document to a search - query.

Content to “SEARCH” Query Matching Use Text that is written in common terms that people use to search. For example, writing about “Meet Up" when people actually search for “Networking”.

KEYWORDS
One of the best ways to "optimise" a page's rankings is to ensure that keywords are prominently used in titles, text, and meta data.

URL: www.accountingsolutions.com.au Website Title: Accounting Solutions Sub Title: Accounting Solutions for SMEs Meta Description: Accounting Solutions is a full service firm providing Tax, Finance, Wealth and Estate Planning services to SMEs. Note: This is the summary that you see at the bottom of your URL when it comes up on Google. This feature is more to attract clicks from searches. Content: The term “Accounting Solutions” should be repeated 3 to 5 more times in the content of the first page. Non Text Content: Title on your image: “Accounting Solutions with your Client”. Note that the word “Accounting” is used throughout. The idea is when somebody searches for the word “Accounting” or a phrase with “Accounting” in it, it makes it easier for search engines to find your website.
