Alpaca Learning Library

How much attention have you given to your farm’s image around the Web?

Take our national alpaca directory at SEOAlpaca.org, for instance. A lot of farmers have created a listing. And yes, that’s a great first step. You want to secure your farm’s place in all kinds of online media.

But don’t stop there. Make sure you complete your directory listing, your Facebook page, your Google profile, etc., as soon as you can.

You’ll be happy to know that the SEO Alpaca directory is showing up everywhere in online searches. Don’t lose out on this potential to showcase your farm at the top of Google and Yahoo!

IF YOU HAVEN’T DONE THIS YET, TAKE ONE MINUTE TO ADD YOUR ALPACA FARM LOGO TO YOUR SEOALPACA.ORG DIRECTORY LISTING. Uploading your logo or another image helps your listing stand out, so it will be more likely to get clicks. This is a great way to get attention over your competitors, especially when many of them haven’t taken the time to polish their presence in such a visible medium.

Then make sure you’ve filled out information on your alpacas. You can add complete details for up to 3 alpacas at absolutely no charge. The more details, the more attractive your directory listing at SEO Alpaca. And the more likely it will be to show up online in searches.

Remember, while it’s important to claim your spot in social media before someone else grabs that great URL or listing, it can make you appear unprofessional if you don’t polish those profiles and listings you start.

Also, don’t forget to link to the directory, especially if you’re a nonpaid member. We require it for good reason. Those links benefit you and every member by helping the directory show up higher (links are a big piece of the search engine optimization puzzle).
