An online flower bouquet company would absolutely require the use of SEO-friendly content.  In the short term, the amount of keyword density and frequency for display items would allow for high rankings in search engines.  This kind of presence would be vital to business, as competitors would likely utilize the same tactics and would gain the similar rankings.  Long tail keywords would be extremely important to the long-term success of the business.  By using a well-developed long trail SEO campaign, the company could tap into more selective flower or bouquet types and gain rankings that are higher than the more common searches yield.  Cornering niche markets could compensate for profits lost to competitors or drive sales higher than expected.

Writing an SEO-friendly article requires a few key steps.  First, you would need to do keyword research to determine the search volume of the keyword or keywords.  Keyword research would also show you where your targeted site is ranked compared to other sites utilizing the same keywords in search sites like Google and Bing.  Keyword proximity would be the next factor; you would want to make sure keywords are placed in the headline of the article, as well as the URL and page title.  Keyword density and frequency would be other important considerations.  While you want to avoid sounding redundant, repetitious, or unnatural, it’s important to include keywords with a high density and frequency, since both factors are pivotal to search engine algorithms.

Research, variety and distribution and relevant employment are just some of the factors in effective keyword usage.

Research

Choosing keywords which are not only relevant to the subject material of your article, but which are commonly plugged into search engines is critical for SEO content writers.  There are numerous keyword research tools available, including one such tool offered free by Google Adwords, though industry professionals have been known to use more highly sophisticated tools such as Hitwise Search Intelligence or Trellian’s Keyword Discovery.

While including general keywords commonly plugged into search engines can be helpful in generating hits, it is also advisable to use what are known as “long tail” keywords in combination with general keywords to generate hits among those who may be further along in the decision process of buying a certain product of a certain brand.  Utilizing “long tail” keywords helps an SEO content writer take advantage where there is less competition for search engine rankings, while at the same time reaching a select target audience.

Simple and Understandable Content

As important as it is to use keywords to dive a particular page upward in the search engine rankings, it is equally important that the content of your article is thorough enough to provide the audience with sufficient information about a product, while keeping the text easily navigable and simple to follow.  A piece which is clear and simple as it is informative is an invaluable factor in creating a sufficient level of trust in order for business relationships to form.

Building an SEO-friendly company website can prove instrumental in expanding one's business beyond the local market.

For any small business looking to expand beyond a local market or expand their name beyond word of mouth, creating an SEO-friendly website can be one of the fastest most effective methods to expand the business.  Take, for example, an electronics dealer which may be well-reputed for its products and services, but may only operate within a particular region such as the New York Tri-state area. 

Creating a website which is SEO-friendly can be helpful for such a business in two ways.  First and foremost, it allows for internet users searching for products or services of the same kind offered by the business to become aware of the company’s existence.  Second, effective communication of who they are and what they do in a manner which is simple for a reader to understand helps those in other regional markets who may be more cautious about placing their trust in doing business out of market and over the internet.  In these areas, creating an SEO-friendly website can be beneficial to bridging this gap and allowing a small business in one regional market to gain new business contacts and a potential boost in reputation in other regional markets.
