Can blogging help your  small business SEO (search engine optimization) results?

Can one simple blog post increase the chances that your best customers and prospects will find you online ?

Any time your business shows up on page one of Google search results for a money-making keyword phrase, you increase your potential to attract a potential customer who might buy your products or services.

SEO Blogging Experiment

I want to make sure that small business owners in my local marketplace can find me if and when they are looking for a local small business website designer or wordpress website developer.

So, I wrote a simple blog post and published it with a keyword optimized title:

Warrenton VA Website Design

I provided a brief overview of my website design and development services, and added links to my small business website design portfolio.

I published the blog post on March 20, 2011 – and within 24 hours I was showing up for the keyword phrase I wanted, in the number 5 position just beneath other long-established local website design firms.
