\nSEO Personas: Persona-driven search engine optimization (SEO),
\nPart 1 by Jaad Mohammed. Read Part 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Search engine optimization (SEO) is defined as the process of increasing the quality and quantity of website traffic by raising the visibility of a website or a web page to the users of a search engine.<\/p>\n

Although often not well integrated into the SEO process, personas can be useful for SEO. Personas are fictional characters<\/a> that portray customers of a particular market segment. Personas are typically presented in a profile that presents characteristics of the persona such as a photo, name, and other attributes<\/a>. The persona profile also includes other features, such as current behavioral characteristics as well as goals and expectations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Both SEO and personas, especially data-driven personas such as those created by APG<\/a>, go hand in hand in that we can use the list of personas of a web page to plan an SEO strategy that is designed to effectively target more relevant customers. Specifically, using personas we can segment based on:<\/p>\n

(a) what they do and
\n(b) why they do it.<\/p>\n

This segmentation by personas helps us focus our SEO tactics on defining solutions, pain points, and relevant keywords, as shown in Figure 1. Personas are useful for understanding customer segments’ search motivations and keywords they use.<\/p>\n
