Why add RSS Feeds To Your Website

RSS feeds are an easy way to add content to your website that is always changing.  When Google looks at your site and each time it has some new relevant information it will look favorably towards your site.  This is one of the tricks OG's use to help rank their sites higher than yours.  example Avas flowers is listed in just about every city and if you look they have an RSS feed of the local weather and local news for that city on their website.

Many flower shops have a business Facebook page if you look down the left column you should see your RSS feed for this site.  If you update your Facebook page often this is a good RSS feed to use, it will be about flowers which is a good targeted keyword for your site.  If you do not have a business Facebook page (you should) but you can look for other RSS feeds that will have keywords that will help your site.  Search for rentals or homes for sale for your city and many of these online realty companies have RSS feeds for their listings.  I will put a link below to test these feeds online and to create the code for you to cut and paste into your website.

What you look for is RSS feeds that have keywords about either the city you are in or the city/neighborhood you are targeting for that page.  So rentals and homes for sale many times will work well.

We are adding the ability to add RSS feeds to our Search4Florists sites in the next week or so.  If you do your own website this should be easy to do, but if you use Teleflora, FTD, FSN they may not allow you to do this.
