Regarding keyword selection, you are absolutely correct. Wordtracker is an excellent tool, or for the really budget-minded you can just start with Google's search-based keyword tool. Thanks for pointing that out! Thanks Bill – I appreciate the kind words.

I agree with everything you said, and wish more small businesses had at least this level of understanding. I hope lots of them get to read your advice. The only thing I would add relates to step 2 — maybe step 2½ , and that's keyword selection. Most small business owners don't know what are the best keywords to optimize for. There are simple and inexpensive ways to identify search terms that are searched frequently. WordTracker comes to mind, as you can buy a 24-hour subscription to their full service, which is usually all a small business needs. Evaluating search terms based on frequency of use, buying focus, and competability is essential before you start optimizing pages for keywords. Mike — a very well put-together article.

Since I started out as a small business owner myself, I know first hand how confusing internet marketing is for most small business owners. So, I decided that for my first post on my blog I'd try to break it down for people who might be experiencing the same. Hopefully, this post will help ease the confusion for some other small business owners out there! Thanks for the kind comments!

Where to even start with the Internet? Especially now that everything needs to be constantly updated to stay ahead of the game. This guide is excellent, and it should be used as a benchmark for a small business employing a SEO company to make sure the company is taking them down the correct path for their business success online.
