SEO for Small Business Blogs: The 5-Part Series

With the publishing of yesterday’s article, the five-part series on small business blog SEO is complete. In the series, I spoke about the importance of internal linking — providing links on your blog to other content on your blog. I also talked about making it easy for others to link to your content. So, assuming most people won’t want to link to five separate articles, here’s a recap of the series in one post that I think others will be more likely to link to.

• Part 1: SEO for Small Business Blogs: Introduction — In this article, I covered the basics of SEO in the context of factors/signals that tell search engines what your blog and your articles are about.
• Part 2: Getting Started with SEO & Small Business Blogs — In this article, I covered several SEO considerations that are important before a new blogger writes his/her first blog post, such as choosing a blog platform, choosing a domain and blog name, URL permalinks, and much more.
• Part 3: Blog SEO: How to Optimize Your Posts — In this article, I got detailed about SEO optimization for individual articles and blog posts, from keyword research to optimizing headlines and page titles, internal linking, and more.
• Part 4: Small Business Blogs: Ongoing SEO Tactics — In this article, I covered additional blog SEO tactics including link building and using analytics.
• Part 5: SEO Final Steps: Content Marketing for Small Business Blogs — In this article, I explain the importance of promoting your blog/content in online channels such as social media, as well as offline promotion opportunities, too.
