[QUESTIONS] Building a site for Offline Business

[MINUNEL]

Hello all,

I am completely new at all SEO and site building but I am reading and reading and reading but I mostly get confused as well :)

I am planning to open a small business offline and I would like a website to generate sales leads and I keep reading what is the best way to get visitors and people interested in my services.

I checked a few keywords in LTP and they show competitiveness 0 and I hope that I can structure my website based on a lot of keywords like:

- transport to Europe
- transport to (each country in Europe)
---these are not the exact keywords but very similar :)

I am thinking of publishing a few articles for each string of keywords with pictures and links to contacts ...

Getting quite confused with so much info around the forum

Blackhat - can it be used just to get more visitors - or it gets you banned from Google for good ? As I don`t intend to monetize the website - just to get customers ringing or e-mailing me...

What would You forumists recommend?

Like anything, you can use it for good or evil. Build a 'quality' site with USEFUL information, use the keywords per page, build social presence and promote the site. Sure, add *some* blackhat tricks to increase the leverage but keep it modest and your business will grow and last.

Use pbn style to promote the site via social media and buy some (3-4) high ranking sites to help in the promotion.

Make it look 'natural' as if people are talking about you and spreading the word. Don't try for 1000 visitors on day 1 - Build steadily.

If it's a churn and burn, go flatout blackhat.

That's my opinion. Plenty will disagree I am sure, but I'm not into wasting efforts building sites to get penalised.
