Often we talk about appear high on Google, but it is also important to consider how your ad looks in Google search results.
Influence your visibility on Google
One of the most common questions we get on Snowfire is how to rank higher on Google. It has evolved an entire industry of consultants and companies who all want to help you capture traffic from Google. This is called search engine optimization or SEO.
The text in blue is referred to as the as meta title. The text below is called meta description. Consider how you use google to search for information. What makes you click on certain pages while you choose not to click on other pages? Here you have an excellent opportunity to choose exactly what your visitors should see.
Keyword in the title for search engines
It is important to find the correct keyword for each page you create. A keyword can be a product name, service, personal brand etc. which you want your potential customers to use in order to find you when they google with a phrase which contains the keyword. The meta title (the blue link on Google) is your ad on Google. Make sure it includes your keywords and looks attractive. These keywords should preferably also appear in titles and text on the page. The instruction which you give to Google is that "This page is about [Keyword]" when you use the word in the title. Don't forget that you are always writing for humans, always choose a better phrase even if it contains less of your keywords.
Description
You don't necessarily need to use your keywords in the description, the idea is to briefly summarize what the page is about for a potential visitor. The description doesn't always appear since Google may find a better description based on what the user is searching for.
Length
Google shows a maximum of 69 characters of the page's title and 156 characters of the description. For detailed information on the use of meta title and meta description, Google has published a guide for web masters.
