BE YOURSELF, BUT BE SMART ABOUT IT
Ask yourself these questions:
Who is my audience?
Where do they hang out?
What are the norms of the medium?
What do I want to accomplish there?
What is my tone?
What is my message?
How will I measure that?

The Student
Experience
We know you feel great
knowing that your kids are
getting the instruction and
experience they need to feel
comfortable in the water, but
how do THEY feel? We asked
Goldfish Swim School - Ann
Arbor sisters Carmen and
Kennedy and this is what they
had to say: We love swimming!
Im Carmen and my favorite
part is monkey, tree, banana.
Im Kennedy and my favorite
part is diving for rings! We love
our teachers because they are
so silly!

WHEN WRITING...
You naturally write for search, so dont try too hard. But there are some
things to take note of before you write!
What keywords are your competitors winning?
Which keywords are you winning?
Which keywords are people using to find your site?
Which do you want to win?
How many searches are being done for your desired keyword?
How likely is it that you can organically win the keyword?
