How You Benefit & Help Your HBA Too
Every post that we included in the HBA Info-Letter is posted on the HBA website. Even novices know that adding posts about home related products, innovations, services, discounts, news, awards, accolades etc. will help us with SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This means that if members post about “Storm Shelters” or “Appliances” on the HBA site – then those keywords will push the HBA site up for those keywords. In turn, we link to your websites in addition to your listings on HBAHomePros (online membership directory – HBAHomePros.com). This means it will increase traffic to your websites. It’s truly a Win Win!
