Coca-Cola SEO


SEO is all about driving free traffic for you, and Search Engine Land covers all the bases here on what SEO is, how SEO works, and an overview of the basic elements of SEO.

With such a global brand like Coca-Cola, understanding and using effective SEO methods is crucial to keep its online visibility and even expand it. The article explains that SEO is critical for increasing a website's ranking on search engine results, which ultimately drives traffic and potential customers. This means that Coca-Cola can attract more people searching for drinks, their brand, or their associated topics, by way of optimizing their website and content!

SEO: Search engine optimization is the practice of optimizing the content of a website with relevant keywords, improving the structure of a site, and earning backlinks that signal authority.

Coca-Cola should target the SEO keywords relevant to their brand identity, products and services, campaigns they run, and how they engage with consumers.

Some major categories and specific words they probably use or should use:

  • The long list of their search queries includes terms such as Coca-Cola, Coke, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Coke flavors, Coca-Cola nutrition facts, and Coke vs Pepsi. All these keywords allow Coca-Cola to rank really high when a consumer is searching for anything related to their brands and also helps them in filtering their products through the consumer's search query.

  • The keywords Coca-Cola could use to compete in a general market of non-alcoholic beverages, which would include generic soda drinkers: soft drinks, soda brands, best cola drink, carbonated drinks, and cold drinks.

  • Although Coca-Cola’s advertising is iconic, optimizing for campaign-specific searches will support traffic and engagement. Some SEO keyword phrases that could help with this optimization would be the Coca-Cola Christmas commercial, the Share a Coke campaign, the Coke Super Bowl ad, and the Coca-Cola brand story.

  • Keywords around sustainability and CSR, such as Coca-Cola sustainability, Coca-Cola recycling programs, Coke eco-friendly packaging, and Coca-Cola community initiatives, increase consumer awareness regarding sustainability. For example, the keywords enable Coca-Cola to connote environmental and social sustainability with their brand.


Rankings are only one part of the Coca-Cola game plan: SEO informs much of its digital thinking. The Forbes article specifically discusses the benefits businesses can gain from investing in SEO, which perfectly highlights Coca-Cola’s desire to sustain or improve upon its online presence in the market.

Keywords related to sustainability ("Coca-Cola recycling"), corporate initiatives ("Coca-Cola community programs"), and campaigns ("Share a Coke") provide long-term brand recall.

Unlike ad campaigns that only last a few days, SEO drives long-term traffic to your site. Search terms such as "Coca-Cola Super Bowl ad" or "Coca-Cola Christmas commercial" keep the brand alive outside of seasonal marketing pushes.

These principles in the Forbes article can leverage Coca-Cola's SEO strategically to stay relevant with competitors, uplift brand engagement, and assert a strong digital presence.

50 years: An Anomaly

Image
Do you know the percentage of people who make it to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary? If you are like me, you understand with all that our world is going through, the number may be low but I was shocked when I learned this week just how low that number is. Seven percent. SEVEN PERCENT! That is absolutely crazy to me.  Yesterday I had the honor nad privilege of taking photos for a couple who celebrated 50 years of marriage. I have known this couple for more than 20 years. In those 20 years, I've witnessed the ebb and flow of life take place within their family.  Life has not always been easy for them but one thing that kept them part of the anomaly of our world has been their faith, which is why I found myself thinking what a beautiful testament to have most of their family present for the private Mass and celebration.  As I drove home, after the celebration, I thought about that seven percent. I thought about all the people in my life. I've known many couples who ...

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

     The older I get the more I'm becoming comfortable with speaking out about my truth and doing work to help our most vulnerable people...children. I do not want any child to go through the kind of abuse I experienced as a child but if they do, I want them to have a place they can go to get help and justice.     Helping children has become a huge priority to me, which is why I donate 100% of the proceeds from my books to organizations that help children be safe from all kinds of abuse, especially sexual abuse.      Today, I was blessed to go on my second television interview to talk about Erin's Law , my books, and my story. Today was my interview on Living Local and two weeks ago I was on Paula Sands Live. Click on the videos below to see the interviews. April 11, 2023: Paula Sands Live April 25, 2023:  Living Local
