Hello. I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. I am the Search Box.

You’ve undoubtedly seen me around. I have my own dedicated websites, and I also tend to show up wherever and whenever I’m needed on other sites. I’m probably even in your web browser’s toolbar, ever-present but never intruding. Despite seeing me all over the place, you probably never thought much about what I actually do or how I do it. And if you run a website, you might not have considered how I can help you. On the surface, my job seems simple: help people find what they’re looking for on the web. But did you know you can help me do my job better?

You have a website that tells all about what you do, what you make, and what you sell. You want people to find out about you, right? By engaging in simple Search Engine Optimization (SEO) you can help me learn all about you and the things you do and make, so I can help make sure people find you.

Even if you don’t have a blog, you can still make sure the content on your website is up-to-date and correct. If you’ve updated a product or changed its price or features, be sure you include that information.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I don’t actually have eyes, so pictures alone are no help. You need to be sure there is accompanying text for every image that tells me what those pictures are. This text should be both on the website itself and in the metadata descriptions.

I’ll be back soon to tell you more about how we can work together. In the meantime, happy searching. I’ll be right at the top of the page waiting for you.
