In this section I'll take you through the common myths that surround Butcher's Store SEO and debunk them including:

  • Blogging
  • Sitemap Submission
  • Keyword Tools
  • Link Building / Content Marketing

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. These are SEO techniques which are not relevant to local businesses like butcher's stores but people tend to spurt them out when they don't really understand Search Engine Optimization and how it should apply to a Butcher's Store which serves a particular geographical area.
