Backlinks for Your Posts on the Directories
To stand out in your marketplace, you must find ways to bring new customers to you. You may already know about SEO and how it can bring in more qualified website traffic by helping you rank in search engine results pages (SERPS). However, SEO is complex, and it’s often difficult to understand every ranking factor that affects where they’re placed on SERPs, ultimately impacting their number of web visitors.
Backlinks are one of the most important aspects of SEO because they demonstrate to search engines like Google that your website has authority, especially if other high-authority domains are linking to it. But, Having an effective backlink-building strategy is key to ensuring your success in SERPs. The more high-quality backlinks you obtain, the higher you can rank on search engines.
To benefit from the marketing power of backlinking, we have opened up the NEW blog on the directories. In addition to Company Showcases available to factors and lenders on the magazine, all IACFB Members will now have the ability to post informative content on the NEW Searchable Directories with “backlinks” to your business website or blog. Posting backlinks is vitally important for a cornerstone of lead-generation for all brokers, consultants, and agents. Posting content on the new new directories is a great way to take advantage of backlinking strategy for lead-generation.
