If you've been hunting down SEO advice for your Architectural Practice website on the net you've probably seen a lot of advice. But how much of it is true?
If you've been hunting down SEO advice for your Architectural Practice website on the net you've probably seen a lot of advice. But how much of it is true?
Not much ... is the answer!
In this section I'll take you through the common myths that surround Architectural Practice SEO and debunk them including:
- Blogging
- Sitemap Submission
- Keyword Tools

Yes, you have probably heard many say things like 'You have to blog', 'You need to have a Facebook page' or be on Twitter. You need to beg other websites for links.
No, none of that.

An alternative to sitting on your hands and waiting is to use Google Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to target the keyword. It costs but Google will tell you how well your website is being received by people (versus competitors) while at the same time giving Google the data it needs to make ranking decisions far faster. It works like this:
