Could website errors be holding your site back?
If you don't know and understand how website optimization works, you may never see a problem or change in traffic patterns. However, algorithm changes could also mean the death of your website if you're not careful. There are ways to deal with or combat these changes through monitoring and reporting.
But before you try "doing" optimization or hiring a professional, you should understand SEO. As the saying goes, "knowledge is power." So, don't let other people have the upper hand when understanding how the internet and search engine optimization work.
A website analysis or audit will uncover errors.
Fixing the errors found in your audit report is essential. When the site is not functioning, maybe it has broken links, creating a poor user experience. Broken links make a poor user experience (UI or UX), which creates a lower ranking score for your website. Poor rankings will never get your site to page one of the search engine results page (SERP).
The first thing that should happen after an audit is fixing the report's uncovered problems.
If you follow Google's rules, you will have a better chance of ranking on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs.) But you're not finished; the audit is just the beginning. You will work on content topics, keyword phrases, measurements, and more. To rank well for placement in organic searches, you will be testing different strategies regularly.
The most important thing you should always have in mind is the customer. Everything you do will be customer-focused. The search engines come second.
There are two kinds of SEO, on-page and off-page.
On-page SEO
On-page SEO sets your site up with a good foundation for each page. On-page SEO would be checking your pages for errors with an audit. Fixing all of the mistakes is essential if you want your pages to rank well in search engines.
Next, each page should have its focus or topic and include keyword phrases. Then, make sure you are supplying original content on each page. Finally, make certain the content is of the highest quality possible.
Both of these items, fixing SEO problems and content, are critical to the success of your site. Search engines will notice when your pages are set up correctly, and good rankings will follow.
Keep in mind that SEO takes a while to get going. Nothing happens fast.
Off-page SEO
Off-page SEO is an online marketing technique promoting the site and its pages. An SEO campaign might include landing pages, social media ads, and other PPC ads on search engines like Google or Bing and social media like Facebook and LinkedIn. An off-page campaign could also include a separate email campaign. A great deal of planning goes into these efforts.
A campaign will have a specific goal or objective. For example, maybe you want to increase leads by 7% over a month. How would you go about doing this? Be realistic about what you hope to accomplish.
As you can see, there are different types of SEO.
With both forms of SEO, you can target the right people and customers interested in what you offer with the content you provide. On-page SEO, when set up correctly, will bring you the best results in the long run.
