While search engines can locate the sitemap on your site, you should submit it via Google Webmaster Tools to improve your chances. It’s a smart thing to do, especially with a new website.
Be careful with social media though. You want to open up two-way communication as opposed to talking at your prospects. You need people to engage with your brand to “…improve the pass-along value and online word of mouth.”
Use social media to create your own audience, and work hard to drive Country Email List conversation and user engagement. The more the mentions, the better.
When you enter your keyword in Google, the first ten (10) websites that appear are your most fierce competitors. To clinch that elusive first position, you must beat them all.
Do you recall that wise saying that goes like keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Take time to study your competition. Get answers to questions such as: Why does number one beat me? What do they do different? Are they implementing white hat SEO techniques that I might be missing?

Perhaps they aren’t as good as you’d imagine – maybe their content is stale for instance. This could be your window of opportunity to get the ranking you deserve. Study the competition and beat them at their own game. A little competitiveness is awesome. Plus if the reward is better rankings, more traffic and ultimately better conversions, I’m up for the challenge any day.
