SEO Guide for Home Delivery Businesses

To give the businesses with Kiva Logic an advantage, Kiva Logic does a lot in the background to help promote and optimize your website with the Kiva Logic home delivery software. Here is a BASIC overview of what you can do, and how we help. Above all, here are the three basic rules you should follow:

1. BE AUTHENTIC - do everything for your potential customer, not for computers or bots. If you come off as spammy, Google will nail you.

2. BE CONSISTENT - SEO is a long term strategy, post regularly, update regularly, and review regularly

3. CREATE GOOD CONTENT - constantly create new content. Social media posts, blogs, articles, etc. Use videos. Use pictures. Write for humans.

For you to do NOW

• Add your business to Bing Places (especially if you are in the USA)

• Add your business to Google My Business

• Update the on page SEO (instructions below) for EVERY page

IMPORTANT- make your online profiles as complete as possible!

Monitor your keywords

Create a Google Alert or Talkwalker Alert for the following:

• your business name

• your URL

• relative keywords (ex: "organic produce delivery nevada")

Don't be afraid to create lots of alerts, you can always delete them if they don't work out.

Take action on keywords

Now that you are receiving alerts on your keywords, here's some ideas of what to do with relative alerts:

• write a blog post

• respond to customer feedback

• save link to Buffer to share with your followers

• create a keyword tool page

Rainy Days

It's raining and you're stuck inside. Try doing one of these:

• Add your business profile EVERYWHERE (local chamber of commerce, BBB, local business listings)

• Update your product descriptions to have at least 100 words

• search and follow Twitter users

• create images/text for Twitter and compelling content for social media

• create new longtail keyword pages

• submit your site to local directories

Set the title and description for every page you have on your website using our SEO keywords tool.

1. Log in to your website

2. Go to the front facing portion of your site

3. Browse through every page, every shop page, every product page, and click on the 'SEO' button for that page. Add a custom title and description for each page that accurately describes what the page is.
