How do you guys drive traffic to your coffee sites?

[BlaccVanilla]

Starting a blog is always a good idea for SEO purposes. Google Analytics is a useful way to help keep track of how much traffic you have received and from what sources.

as a fly on the wall I just want to say thank you to everyone for this helpful information. I guess I should chip in with my two cents... As a new blogger I've learned that content is the KEY. You have to write good, helpful posts at the beginning. If you are writing something that is 1000 words that probably wont cut it. I'm not saying it wont work but as a new blogger you are going to have a hard time with ranking on search engines with small posts. If you look up the SERP on any topic around coffee the first page is always filled with articles of at least 2000 words or more. When you're done that I suggest making a Pinterest and FB page. Utilize Tailwind to post on both platforms simultaneously to get eyes on your blog posts. Its a long process and but it does work and its free. Also avoid paying for Keyword search tools when you first start out. they are great but you should focus on content if you are blogging. The only keyword search tool you need is the google search bar auto fill in and suggested searches section. If you look at my blog FreshCoffeeHouse you see about 30 posts I've written over the last month which are seeing traffic. I don't have any blogging experience, any keyword search tool, or any idea of what SEO is. I am learning as I go along. I hope this gave you an idea of how to get traffic to your blog for free. its not easy buy then nothing worth doing ever is. At the very least I hope i gave you some ideas for what blog post tiles work and what you could write about.

Welcome to the Coffee Forums website. It looks like you are gradually finding your way as a new blogger.

One note of caution. Please don't consistently reference or add links to your blog location in each of your posts to the Coffee Forum. If you do, it will look like you are using the Forum to generate activity to your blog. Then you will be considered a Spammer, and that's not a good thing.

Low competitive keywords

This is good advice. For suggestion one, can you be more specific on how to find low competitor keywords?

To find low competitive keywords without any paid tools is the best way is: use google auto fill suggestion. For these purpose you need to use any keywords volume suggestion tools like surfer seo. install it in your browser and type your keyword ideas first in the search box. Try to find 10-50 search volume keywords from the suggestions. after that search by the same keywords in google and look how many people already wrote about it if the list is huge then just ignore it and search again by another one. Just remember find the keywords which has 3-5 or less article already published. I have a coffee niche site and working since 2018 on it now my aim is to find very very low competitive keywords and working on it.

Pinterest is a huge one, and easily forgotten. Put pictures of your coffee shop/drinks/customers enjoying them on Pinterest, link to your website, you'll get a ton of traffic.

Use a good SEO strategy

Defining an effective content strategy is key. Help show the search engines that you are a relevant and authoritative site when it comes to the specific search queries you want to show up for when someone searches in Google, Bing, etc.

If you want more traffic than Pinterest and Instagram is great source. I have a blog site and i saw many other people site , the all are getting lots of traffic from Pinterest specially and then Instagram.

Blogposts, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, all of these are good for promoting your shop. Also, don't forget about your website, because this is your visit card. You can show your website to every single person in this world, but if it looks bad and non attractive, then no one will buy coffee from you. The structure has a huge importance as well. If you have problems with this, you can ask sitecentre Geelong, they will do all the SEO work and make the people come to your website for a very long period, and then the rest depends on yourself, how good your product is.
