From Mike Stockers blog: Start by curing your case of “website amnesia” – do you treat every website visitor the same, regardless of previous visits or their status as customers? These visitors might be your most loyal customers, yet you treat them as though you don’t remember them at all. How good does it feel when your favorite barista remembers your name and regular drink?

Make sure to differentiate between business competitors and SEO competitors. Business competitors are the companies in your space whom you are actively competing with for customers, so you might think you should focus on beating them in search rankings.
