🌐 Link Building is the virtual version of networking and building relationships! 🌐
I had the pleasure of joining my leadership team at BNI Business Express at the regional Leadership Round Table followed by a really fun After 5 Networking Event at the Northbridge Golf Club, hosted by the wonderful Wendy Lloyd Curley. ⛳
Both events really got me thinking about SEO.
When it comes to SEO, ever wonder what Link Building is?
A: Link Building to websites is what networking is to face to face networking. Businesses with a strong network are more likely to have Authority and Trust. When it comes to websites, it's no different. Think Wikipedia and Investopedia. 💻
Why is Link Building such a buzz word when it comes to SEO?
A: 3 new websites are created EVERY SINGLE SECOND! That's 252,000 new websites being created every day! How does one tell a website has Authority and Trust? The same way you would know, like and trust a business owner when it comes to face to face networking, you look at the number connections they have. 🕸
Whether you’re building relationships face to face or digitally, the foundations of success are rooted in Authority and Trustworthiness.
🔗 Authority: In-person networking allows you to establish authority by showcasing your knowledge and industry leadership. Similarly, when credible websites link back to your content, they’re signaling that you’re a trusted source of information.
🤝 Trustworthiness: Trust is built through consistent, meaningful connections. Whether it’s the handshake of a reliable partner or a backlink from a reputable site, trust forms the backbone of any long-term relationship. Just as you wouldn’t rely on someone you don’t trust in person, organic search doesn’t rely on low-quality links.
🎓 Experience: In both realms, real-world experience shines through. When networking face-to-face, sharing your firsthand stories builds rapport. With link building, content that reflects experience-based insights stands out—
In both cases (networking or link building), you’re not just building a network; you’re building credibility, and credibility leads to opportunity. 🏆
