Resources

Everything you need to get the most out of your SyteKicks website.

What is SEO? (Plain English)

SEO helps search engines understand what your business does, who it’s for, and where you operate. Good SEO is structure + helpful content + consistency over time.

SEO is not: instant results, a one-time trick, or a guarantee of rankings.

What SyteKicks SEO covers

  • Clear page structure (headings and sections)
  • Page titles and meta descriptions
  • Mobile-friendly layout
  • Fast-loading pages
  • Image optimization basics

Higher tiers add directory listings, ongoing improvements, and performance tracking.

How to fill out the content form

You don’t need perfect copy — clarity matters more than marketing language.

1) Business description

Good: “We’re a local plumbing company serving Tacoma and nearby areas. We specialize in residential repairs, water heaters, and emergency service.”

Avoid: “We’re passionate about excellence and customer satisfaction.”

2) Services or products

List services clearly (this helps structure + SEO):

  • Drain cleaning
  • Water heater installation
  • Emergency plumbing repairs

3) Location info

If you serve specific areas, list them (ex: Tacoma, Federal Way, Lakewood, Puyallup).

4) Contact details

Provide your preferred email, phone (optional), and hours (if relevant).

5) Tone (optional)

Keep it simple: professional, friendly, straightforward, modern.
