It gives you free organic traffic from search engines, paves way for new customers, stamps your authority in search engines, and helps you stay away from relying on paid advertising channels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">However, SEO is often considered very tough \u2014 especially with the ever-growing competition in the online marketing world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">When we talk about SEO, most entrepreneurs think of investing thousands of dollars in optimisation and content creation. After all, when other competitors are pouring thousands of \u00a3 \u2014 with years of experience and credibility \u2014 how can you beat them without at least matching the monthly budget?<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">That\u2019s where the problems start \u2014 especially for small business owners and newbies on a tight budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">But don\u2019t worry. There are always ways to get past this problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In this blog post, we share 3 proven tips for people like you to do great SEO on a tight budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Ready?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Let\u2019s see what these 3 tips are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>1. Go After Low-Hanging Fruits<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">While this does seem like an old cliche, so many business owners, entrepreneurs and SEO experts completely forget about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Even in this modern age, SEO still depends on the keywords you choose for your content and SEO campaign. By going after low-hanging fruit, you can make SEO work for you even if you don\u2019t have a lot of money to spend on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">What do we mean by low-hanging fruits?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In SEO, low-hanging fruits often mean \u201clong-tail keywords\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">For those who don\u2019t know, long-tail keywords are keyword phrases of 3, 4, or more keywords that have lower search volume but higher probability of ranking and conversions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Here is an example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOnline chat\u201d is a popular keyword phrase with approximately 201,000 monthly searches. But as you can imagine, it would be extremely difficult to rank for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, a long-tail keyword phrase, such as \u201conline chat support software\u201d although has just 20 monthly searches, it is much easier to rank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">And this is exactly what Banckle.com did for promoting its web-based support application that allows its users to add a live chat widget to their website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">But you must be thinking, 20 searches per month don\u2019t amount to much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It doesn\u2019t, but when you combine it with dozens of other long-tail keyword variations, you easily get a substantial amount of organic traffic for keywords that are much easier to rank for than, say, \u201conline chat\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Great-SEO-on-a-Tight-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6707\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Great-SEO-on-a-Tight-.png\" alt=\"Great SEO on a Tight\" width=\"406\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There are tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\">SEMRush<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Ahrefs<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hittail.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\">HitTail<\/span><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordstream.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\">WordStream<\/span><\/a> that helps find long-tail keywords to target.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. Guest Blogging<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">If you can write content and don\u2019t have a lot of budget to spend on SEO, guest blogging is going to be your next best friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">How?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There are multiple advantages of guest blogging:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">First, you get to present yourself and your business in front of thousands of interested readers that other bloggers have already gathered on their websites. By publishing a guest-post on authoritative websites in your niche, you can get thousands of traffic visitors to your blog.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Second, when you publish guest-posts on established websites in your niche, you get high-quality backlinks. These backlinks are extremely valuable. Businesses often pay hundreds of dollars to get these backlinks. With guest-blogging, you can get these backlinks for free!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">For the sake of simplicity, let\u2019s say you absolutely need backlinks if you want to rank high on search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Backlinks usually come after an extensive and often exhausting SEO campaign. Guest-blogging is a shorter route to getting these wonderful backlinks that will fuel and power up your SEO campaign without burning a ton of money in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3. Don\u2019t Forget Local SEO<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">If you have a very tight budget to spending on search engine optimisation campaigns, you must focus on local SEO to get instant results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">With other huge corporations with multi-level digital marketing teams, it\u2019s hard to compete for keywords on a national level. If that\u2019s the case with you, start from your local area and expand your range as you move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">This strategy will give you instant profits and a good ROI on your SEO investment. More importantly, with money pouring in right away, you can keep the light bulbs on while you expand your SEO strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Start by setting up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/business\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Google My Business<\/span><\/a> and local SEO accounts to get things going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">With a Google My Business account, your business will start appearing in Google search results for relevant keywords. Notice in the following screenshot how the local SEO results appear above organic search engine results. Great, isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Local-SEO.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6709\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Local-SEO.png\" alt=\"Local SEO\" width=\"351\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Other than that, focus on getting positive local reviews and citations. Again, backlinks will help significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">For more information on how to do Local SEO, check out our detailed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.improvemysearchranking.com\/comprehensive-local-seo-guide\/\"><span class=\"s4\">Local SEO guide.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Final Words<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It will require more time and efforts to kick up an SEO campaign with great results on a very tight budget. However, the lack of budget is in no way a hurdle that you can\u2019t cross.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">These 3 tips should give you a great headstart in the right direction. Just focus on SEO techniques that are capable of giving the best ROI and go from there.
