You Built It – Will They Will Come?

You have built such magnificent custom made pieces, let’s make sure these works of fine art get found….and well… purchased!

Below – you will find Part I of a new weekly series called “You Built It”. Each post in this series will cover, items such as (please feel free to request additional topics):
  • Keywords – What are people actually searching for?
  • Tips – A few tips to get you going (and selling!!)
  • For CustomMade Subscribers:
  • Before and After Examples – If applicable - with data* Provide website user behavior on your pages on CustomMade.com – this will have to be by request though….so please ask….
And as we go; more will be “built”……I will learn from you and apply that here….

*I say “if applicable” because my hopes are that I can get you to submit descriptions of your custom work – to review and provide a “Keyword Themed Rich” version – aka be found by us humans easier; because Search Engines love to gobble up rich content.

I firmly believe with your woodwork expertise and my Search Engine Marketing experience – will get you building, creating, shipping & selling quicker than I can count how many drill bits I actually put back in their rightful spot.

PS – I grew up as a “Hardware Store” daughter – I can’t say I can build anything like the AWESOME pieces I see on CustomMade.com – but I can at least talk some wood shop – so to say.

Please feel free to submit your CustomMade description at anytime to be part of this ongoing series. Please just post a comment here or email mary@custommade.com. Or I am sure Mike, the president of CustomMade.com, would not mind an email….mike@custommade.com.

This week I will focus on Keywords.

Writing your custom pieces’ detailed descriptions – is vital, for us humans and Search Engines.

Just as Bungs need to be aligned with Grain – details make a HUGE difference!

Here are the top 20 “Custom” keywords to think about using in your descriptions…

Over a 100, 000 people search for custom made furniture a month???!!!

And look what happens when I type custom made furniture into bing (Microsoft New Search Engine).














Build it – we’ll help you get found….

Til’ next time…..

Thank you for reading…..
