Week 14- Google Gold

1)      To gain SEO I tried my best to use words that relate to my product as much as possible and use the name of my product as much as possible. Then there is a hope that when people Google “Snack Pack” my blog will be one of the first things to pop up in a search.

2)      My keywords include “Snack Pack”, “athlete”, “pouch”, “goals and training”, and “energy chews”. My keywords have stayed fairly consistent throughout the semester.

3)      While I have not used social media just yet to enhance my products, I have plans to. Right now my product is not off the ground so I want to wait until I am ready to launch to advertise on social media. For my product I plan to give some samples to people who are extremely active on social media so they can better market my product. I will reach out to as many people as possible to market my product in a cheap way through social media. That will also bring up which page my blog will come up on a Google search.

4)      My most viral post was “The 20 percent”. I think this was because I interviewed an entrepreneur who already had her business off the ground. She is becoming popular very quickly so people are probably Googling her more, hence looking at my page when it pops up.


5)      I was not able to find my blog in a regular Google search when I typed in “Snack Pack”, but as soon as I added in “ENT 3003”, all of my blog posts showed up on the first page. I was probably many pages back when I first Googled “Snack Pack”. I need to come up with some more distinct keywords so my blog shows up easier. 

This is the first thing that pops up when I type in "Snack Pack" in Google. I might need to make the name of my product more unique so that when people Google it, it will come up first.

  1. It is smart to be consistent with your message and terminology used. It will be very difficult to make a real impact when it comes to SEO until you have a ton of data on the web, but if you keep up with tagging your content with the key terms you want eventually you will get there. Good luck.

  2. Hi Courtney,
    I liked reading your assignment because it seemed that as the development of the blog/product you were able to keep in mind how you wanted to position your product to your target market. The use of key words are a great way to do this because once you are able to allocate the uniqueness of your product within the mind of consumers you definitely can be going for the gold! I invite you check out my blog!
