		<description><![CDATA[Dutchgirl blog: An example of successful use of keywords for search engine optimization.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="noborder" title="&quot;Commitment to Sustainability&quot; menu item at galleyecocapital.com" src="http://dutchgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/galley-eco-capital-sustainability-menu-item.jpg" alt="&quot;Commitment to Sustainability&quot; menu item at galleyecocapital.com" width="275" height="66" /></p>
<p>I worked with Lisa Galley to decide what keywords to include in page titles and navigation on the redesigned Galley Eco Capital website. Here’s an example of those keywords at work in the outside world:</p>
<p><a title="Sonoma County Funds First AB11 Loan (Our Green Journey)" href="http://www.galleyecocapital.com/2009/05/sonoma-county-funds-first-ab-811-loan/">Lisa&#8217;s post of May 20, 2009 <img id="offsite_link_icon" title="This link goes to a different site" src="http://dutchgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/offsite_link_icon1.gif" alt="This link goes to a different site" width="10" height="10" /></a>, on her blog Our Green Journey,  links to <a title="1BOG post on sustainability as investment" href="http://1bog.org/sustainability-is-an-investment/">a post on sustainability as investment <img id="offsite_link_icon" title="This link goes to a different site" src="http://dutchgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/offsite_link_icon1.gif" alt="This link goes to a different site" width="10" height="10" /></a> at One Block Off the Grid (1BOG).</p>
<p>On the 1BOG post, look for the phrase “commitment to sustainability,” which we identified as a keyword phrase during the redesign of the Galley Eco Capital site. The 1BOG post links that keyword phrase back to a page on Galley Eco Capital site titled — what else — <a title="Company Standards: Our Commitment to Sustainability (Galley Eco Capital)" href="http://www.galleyecocapital.com/about-us/company-factsheet/">Our Commitment to Sustainability <img id="offsite_link_icon" title="This link goes to a different site" src="http://dutchgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/offsite_link_icon1.gif" alt="This link goes to a different site" width="10" height="10" /></a>.</p>
<p>This keyword loop increases traffic to Galley Eco Capital&#8217;s site, improves search results, and enhances the site&#8217;s usability (by reinforcing phrases that are relevant to the site&#8217;s audience).</p>

<p><strong>Client:</strong> Galley Eco Capital, San Francisco</p>
<p><strong>Challenges:</strong> Old site did not describe company’s current services; site lacked keywords that would support usability and search engine optimization.</p>
<h2>Dutchgirl’s solutions</h2>
<p>To help the company generate more leads in a rapidly growing and shifting market, I wrote and organized new website content. First, I interviewed principal and financing expert Lisa Galley, then provided these deliverables:</p>
<div class="nobullet">
<ul>
<li> <strong>Strategy summary</strong> Summary of goals and priorities for the site and other strategic information</li>
<li> <strong>Site outline</strong> Map showing navigation to the information and functions on the site</li>
<li> <strong>Homepage wireframe</strong> Diagram of the homepage, with space assigned to the highest-priority goals defined in the strategy summary</li>
<li><strong>Site content</strong> Content that supported Galley Eco Capital’s strategic business priorities and followed usability guidelines for web content</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p class="p-caption">New homepage</p>
<p><a href="http://dutchgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/galley-eco-capital-homepage.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-776" title="New homepage for Galley Eco Capital" src="http://dutchgirl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/galley-eco-capital-homepage-300x184.jpg" alt="New homepage for Galley Eco Capital" width="300" height="184" /></a></p>
