A month or so ago, I received a call from a station owner who Googled for help with his radio station websites. He couldn’t remember exactly what he Googled but he was quick to say that never clicks on the paid search results that appear at the top of those results (neither do we). 

He clicked on us because we were the first search result after those paid ads. I explained that we simply do the right things, that don’t cost anything, consistently and the results speak for themselves.

Here are my top 15 SEO things to do consistently to keep your station or your market website at or near the top of search results.
