The answer is simple, but one of the most common mistakes that you can make is to ignore the importance of your keywords. If you\u2019re not optimizing your site properly, then you won\u2019t get the traffic you need to succeed. Even worse, you could lose your position in Google\u2019s search engine results if your pages aren\u2019t getting the attention they deserve. But, there are a lot of things you can do to help improve your rankings, so let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that 80% of the searches performed by people on the internet are on the mobile web? This statistic is huge because it means that most people searching for information aren&#8217;t going to use a desktop or laptop to perform those searches. Instead, they&#8217;ll be using a phone, tablet, or some kind of other mobile device. This is why mobile <a href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/what-is-seo-submission\/\">SEO<\/a> is so important. If your site isn&#8217;t optimized for mobile devices, you&#8217;ll miss out on traffic.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the biggest mistake that you can make is having the mindset that you are doomed to struggle. If you are working hard at something that you know is right for you, and you are putting in all the hours that you possibly can, then you will succeed. Don\u2019t give up, don\u2019t give in, and don\u2019t get lazy! Keep pushing forward, keep learning, and keep growing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d50145.52267239351!2d-96.06936521284837!3d41.216982725960186!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e0!4m5!1s0x87938ed36a1aa437%3A0xcf1197a1903faa69!2sPetersen%20%26%20Michelsen%20Hardware%20or%20P%20%26%20M%20Hardware%2C%20South%2024th%20Street%2C%20Omaha%2C%20Nebraska!3m2!1d41.20914!2d-95.947463!4m5!1s0x87938c3d0c92fcb1%3A0x98cf112f2e9fe028!2s5223%20Grover%20St%2C%20Omaha%2C%20NE%2068106!3m2!1d41.2266913!2d-95.99608579999999!5e0!3m2!1sfil!2sus!4v1653581593916!5m2!1sfil!2sus\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search engine optimization isn\u2019t as straightforward as many bloggers make it out to be.

After leaving a CFO role at a seven\u2011figure nonprofit, I built my first online business and hit #1 in AOL search within weeks\u2014then clients started asking me to replicate those results for them. Since then, I\u2019ve helped businesses turn WordPress sites into high\u2011performing assets through technical SEO, site architecture, speed, and content strategy, and I\u2019ve built and sold a WordPress site after growing it to 1,000+ organic keyword rankings. Today I own or co\u2011own multiple city\u2011based SEO properties that compete at the top in tough U.S. markets, and I now offer AI SEO so brands can show up in Google results and AI\u2011generated answers.
