Google’s algorithms calculate which transportation and logistics companies are on page 1, according to Nathan Misirian of Autumn Consulting. He was one of the featured speakers at the 2019 TMSA Digital Transformation Conference. He said there are five areas to concentrate to strengthen your SEO:
- Title and Description Tags. Misirian advises that it’s important that title algorithms are a maximum of 8 words, punctuation is limited, and consistently lead with a company name. When it comes to description algorithms, ensure there is a maximum of 18 words, reuse 3 keywords from the title, use only one sentence, and limit punctuation.
- Integrate Keywords in Navigation. Ensure title and description keywords match, use up to three words, and link directly to a keyword-rich page name.
- Readable Banner Text. Misirian recommends to make sure to separate text from image layer, ensure that title/description keywords match, match to navigation keywords, and link directly to a keyword-rich page.
- Page Headings. He recommends using two headings per webpage. Make sure to separate text from image layer, match title/description keywords, match navigation keywords, ensure page name uses multiple keywords, and make sure page title matches keywords.
- Keyword Hyperlinks. Make sure to use keywords in the first sentence, use multiple words for hyperlinks, use 3-4 paragraphs of content, match title/description keywords, match navigation keywords, ensure the page name uses multiple keywords, and make sure page title matches keywords.
