Website help along with SEO
Hello I am building a wordpress website through Godaddy.com and I just wanted some feedback on my site so far to this point. Any advice is much appreciated. my website is River City Auto Spa Mobile Detailing Serving all of St. Johns and Duval.. I had a website in the past and I was running Yoast and SEO help from Godaddy itself. I am having a hard time getting the green lights on readability and SEO for the yoast plug in, most lights are yellow. My site in the past, i don't know how i did it but i had all the yoast SEO and readability lights green. I am using keywords found in the title of site such as "Gallery of worked perform by River City Auto Spa Mobile Detailing" then the description space under the url on google will say something along the lines of "Work performed by River City Auto Spa Mobile Detailing. Please call (xxx)xxx-xxxx to schedule your appointment today" this is an actual example of my page and my keyword would be River City Auto Spa Mobile Detailing or just Mobile Detailing.
I obviously would like to appear on google searches when someone in my area searches "Car detailing jacksonville" or "mobile detail st augustine" along those lines. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Re: Website help along with SEO
I don't know too much about SEO but I do know that search engine look at the page title first, then the page description. So your google terms you want to show up for, should be included in your page title AND your page description.
I'm unfamiliar with Wordpress and godaddy, personally I use wix. Wix has a whole section devoted to optimizing SEO and it walks you through everything you need to do. Maybe you can check it out and take the info from there and apply it to your site

Do you manage a Google "my business" listing? Showing up on google maps is key. I noticed your google listing does not link to your website, hence my question.

Re: Website help along with SEO
- Sign up for Google Adwords, then go to the Keyword Planner. Find out what keywords are being searched for in your city. Or you can simply go to Google and type in 'river city auto detailing' and scroll down to the bottom of the page, and look at the other suggestions that Google has. Those are probably the more frequent keywords that get searched.
- Each service needs its own page. So make a service page for headlight restoration, interior cleaning package 1, interior cleaning package 2, car wash, wash and wax, etc...
- Optimize the title tag, H1, and H2 tags
Each page needs 500 to 800 words of content. Describe the service, describe the benefits to the customer, explain how the process works, add some context of the city, where you're located, the areas you service, add photos, etc...
- Add a contact form on each service page
- Interlink within all your pages. No page should be a standalone. On your headlight restoration page, link out to other services and other pages on your website
- Write a 2 blog posts per month. 500 to 800 words each. Interlink to pages within your website and add external links out to products and other sources
- In your footer, you need to have the important links down there. You have most. But you can also add each service page, blog, and your contact information
- Your homepage needs to be at least 800 words. Add photos of your services and link out to your services pages there.
- You do not need to keyword stuff your website with 'river city auto detailing'. That's old school. You'll only need those on the title tags, H1, a few H2, and maybe once or twice throughout the body text
- Create a My Google Business Page. Get listed on Yelp, FourSquare, Facebook, Yext, and all other major social media and data aggregators
Just a few things off the top of my head.

Thank you for all this great useful information!!! I did do the keyword search through google im just having a harder time interperting where to place the keywords I even read the google document about SEO that relates to baseball cards.
I have packages such as gold silver etc. so they all need their own page? such as Home, About Us, Gallery, Silver Package, Gold package? I have it set up like Home, About us, Services(where everything is listed).
How do I apply H1 and H2 tags? what are h1 and h2 tags? I guess i have more reading to do tonight.
it seems to me i have just about everything right I just need minor tweaks and some SEO help badly. i am on google business, google adwords, yelp, yahoo, bing, etc etc.
right now i mainly want to be found when someone googles mobile detailing jax or ponte vedra etc local areas close by. I need different keywords for each page and only get 1 keyword so for instance a keyword would be mobile detailing- title Mobile detailing by River City lala slug Rcautospa.com description- Mobile detailing serving lalala and keyword mobile detailing so that why i have my keyword close to the beginning in the title and description. Am I thinking about this the right way?

Re: Website help along with SEO
Yes I have a google my business listing on maps and the normal my business. My website was active months ago and then it was down for a while so google removed it from my listing. I have since in the past week got it active again and I have tried to edit it multiple times to no avail. I guess a phone call is in need. Thanks for that quick look though.
I really appreciate everyone taking time out of their busy schedules to help me along!!!!

Re: Website help along with SEO
Your page titles and in some cases your H1's should have your location, ie towns or county, state, however people search in your area. You dont always need your company name in your page title.

Thank you very much. What exactly is a h1 and where can i find these? I know a little about code on the website for instance < h/> would make a line or something.
