Boost Website Traffic
-
Tom Beavan Websites is my business where I create and design affordable websites for small businesses in Wordpress. I am looking to improve my traffic to my website as dramatically as possible.
At present, my website is a one-page website with limited content - https://www.tombeavan.co.uk. My website ranks #1 for local keywords like:
- Web design Wiltshire
- Web design Trowbridge
- Wordpress developer UK
So in terms of keyword position, I am doing well for local business but I only get 200-300 visitors per month. I would like to dramatically improve this to improve the number of enquiries I get. I do tend to get a few enquiries but think if I improve the website traffic, the quantity of website enquiries will increase too?
I have a long list of tasks I would like to do for SEO:
- Add a lot more content to the website
- Add more backlinks
- Guest blogging
- Lots more
What would you recommend a good starting place or a place which will increase traffic effectively?
Thanks for your advice in advance

How does answering Web Design questions on Quora improve my traffic?
- By having my link on a High Authority domain like Quora?
- Hoping people will click a link to my site after answering a question?
I'm not saying that you are wrong, I'm interested in how it works SEO wise
Thanks so much for your time?

You can try Quora and start replying to users questions related to web design. We have tried that and invest entire day. It worked for us but again you need to spend one day to have a good portfolio of replied answers. You might need to use Semrush tool for that.

Thanks for your response, I agree with the approach to build my content to attract the right visitors and my goal.
My goal is to increase website enquiries and I thought the best way to do this would be to increase the traffic, but I guess my question is "If I rank #1 for my main keywords, is there a way to increase traffic for those keywords?" or should the strategy to build relevant traffic be to rank higher in as many relevant key words as possible?
Really appreciate everyone's knowledge as I am quite new to SEO.
Kind Regards

First ask..... Why do I want this traffic?
Do I want traffic just to have it? Or, do I want traffic because I want these people to do something after they land on my site.
You have control over this.
So, decide what you want to happen, make content that will pull in the right people, and build a site that will get those people to do what you want them to do after they arrive.
The goal and the method are different for every business.

How to be above the product maker website
Hello, I am the exclusive reseller of a product in Switzerland. However, when I type the name of the product the maker of the product appears 1 st on google with its website instead of my website that ends in .ch ? I appear nowhere when I type the product name and my website has been online for more than 6 months. How can I make sure I appear 1 st above the maker of that product ? The only place I appear is in the right side with the adresse and phone number but I would like to appear in the search results (blue links). Thank you,

Client wants to rebrand but insists on keeping their old website live as well...
I am working with a client in the dental space that has an existing (11 year old) website for his practice. His domain is tied to his last name, which he would like to get away from because he plans to sell the practice in the next couple years. Backstory: Prior to taking him on, he was working with an SEO agency out of India that were built him quite an ugly backlink profile. Once we discovered it, we immediately notified him about the risk of a penalty if left alone. He was riding high in Google SERP's so of course, it was of no concern to him. Needless to say about a year ago he was inducted into Google's "manual penalty club" for suspicious links. His site vanished in Google and all! Hooray! But no, not really... We met with him to discuss the options, suggesting we clean up his backlink profile, then submit for reconsideration. Based on the time we told him it could take to make progress and be back up and running, he wasn't very excited about that approach. He said he wanted us to rebuild a new site, with a new domain and start fresh. In addition, he wanted keep his original site live since it is tied to his already thriving practice. To sum it all up, his goal is to keep what he has live since his customers are accustom to using his existing (penalized) website. While building a new brand/website that he can use to build a cleaner backlink profile and rank in Google as well as to sell off down the line without having his name tied to the practice. Question: Being that he has an existing site with the company NAP info throughout and the new site will also have the same NAP (just a different domain/brand), is there a "best way" to approach this? The content on the new site would be completely unique. I understand this approach is iffy but in his situation it makes sense to some extent. Any feedback or ideas on how to best handle having two sites running for the same dental practice? If any part of my question is confusing or you need further details to help make a suggestion, please fire away and I will be happy to give as much detail as possible. Thanks Mozzers!

Ranking a Website that Services Multiple Cities
We have a website that offers services to various cities in a state. However, since we don't want to do keyword stuffing, how do we rank this website for all of these cities when it comes to the **title tags? **For example, how do we optimize the homepage title tag? Obviously I know we can't put all the cities into it, so how do we choose which city to use? I know we can add city/local pages and optimize them for those locations, but I'm referring specifically to the homepage and other main pages of the website. How do you determine which cities to use in those title tags?
