Guarino Woodman gets a lot of inquiries through the search engines, and according to illustrator and Web designer Heather Chernik, who designed and created their site, you must have a balance of your keywords in all meta tags indexed by the search engines. Use a few of Chernik’s tips on keywords:

  1. Write the tags so that the most important words appear first.
  2. Don’t repeat your keywords over and over in your meta tags. This is a trick used by many who believe it will bring their site higher in the ranking. But instead, search engines often push those sites to the end of the list.
  3. Use grammatical and spelling variations on your keywords, such as graphic design, graphics, graphic designers, graphic illustrators, graphic artists, graphic design solutions, graphic design information and graphic design resources.
