SL Search Promotion

Preamble

It is a great benefit if your business is on top of the search results:

If your business is the first on the list in the search results customers will see your business name first.

The official SL Wiki gives the following information on SL Search optimization:

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the method of fine tuning the name
and description of content and links to further promote the position of
a listing based on relevance on the search results.

Ways to improve your positions

There are several techniques to raise your position without harming your business.

The position of the business within SL Search results depends on three factors:

1. external links leading to your business
2. parcel text
3. items listed as "show in search"

To optimize your parcel, you have to pay attention to all factors: links, parcel description and listed items.

Tuning the links to your business

One way to archive high positions is list your business within residents' profiles picks. The more picks you get, the higher you appear.

Gently ask your visitors to add your parcel to their picks and you will be rewarded with a higher popularity.

Tuning the parcel text

The parcel name and description are very important for SL Search.

Tuning the "Show in search" items

The most important thing is to avoid listing ALL your items in search! If you list the "skin" object 500 times, you won't get higher by searching "skin".

Moreover, your business will fall up to 100th page, i.e. gets banned, if you list a lot of objects in search. That's a proven fact: our customer's positions has improved in 12 hours after we decreased the number of listed items from 100 to 20.

Optimizing your parcel details

Think on a good parcel description. List only the items you consider important and assign obvious descriptions to them.

How to track the positions

If you optimize your parcel by 2-3 words, and the positions are not far from the beginning of the list (10-20th page), you can search the business manually every day, and write down the actual results.

But it turns into a nightmare to track and keep all the changes if you are trying to optimize 10 keywords!

We use SL Search Analysis tool to track the positions of our customers, save them on a daily basis and compose reports. Read about this tool if you are interested to know the positions of your business, as well as your competitors' positions.
