A Quick Guide to SEO for Non-Profits [infographic]

Non-profits are often a few years behind in their approach to marketing which is unfortunate for many reasons. Of course, it has always been difficult for non-profits to spend dollars on marketing efforts simply because their true passion is for every cent to go to the cause they endeavor to raise funds for year after year. This is a double-edged sword. While more dollars may go to the cause, they also lose out on potentially far more dollars due to their lack of basic functionality on the marketing side. One of these basics is SEO or the search engine optimization of their website. The bad thing – most non-profits have terrible SEO which keeps people from donating on their site. The good thing – this is a fairly simple and cheap fix many non-profits could do without any hired outside help. Check out the infographic below to see how you can improve your non-profit’s SEO in just a few simple steps.

Nostalgia is a powerful marketing tool to have in your arsenal. Everyone experiences this emotion not just those of older generations. People like to think back on happier times or times of togetherness when they shared a memorable experience with others.
