“The slower your sites load, the more visitors and revenue you’ll lose out on. Faster loading pages’ lead to a better overall website experience, hence Google’s move toward making it a mobile ranking factor.” — Anna Crowe, SearchEngineJournal.com
Do you know that loading speed of your website directly affects your search engine rankings? Page loading speed is one of the most important search engine factors that most businesses do not realize. Poor loading speed not only hurts your search engine rankings but your conversion rate too. In fact, search engines like Google favors quick loading sites over slow sites.
Therefore, if you want to get your website ranked on the top of search engine results, then you should focus on improving loading speed of your website. To improve your site’s loading speed, you can compress images, reduce file size and eliminate unnecessary 3rd party scripts.
Quality backlinks are crucial for improving a website’s search engine rankings. Link building is an important part of the SEO process. It enables search engines like Google to discover new pages and get them ranked at the top of search engine results. To build quality links, you can connect with publishers, webmasters, bloggers, and more. Quality backlinks make your website recognized on the web, which ultimately leads to a better ranking on search engines.
Duplicate content can negatively affect your website’s search engine visibility and SEO efforts. When it comes to search engine rankings, Google gives preference to websites that have unique content and penalizes websites with duplicate content.
Therefore, it’s imperative to focus on creating unique and relevant content. Ignoring the duplicate content issue can pull down your search engine rankings which leads to a poor conversion rate.
Gone are the days when mobile site optimization was an option. Things have changed a lot now! Today, 91.54 percent of the world’s population owns smartphones and therefore, mobile site optimization has become a very serious matter. A majority of consumers are using smartphones to research new products and services and if your website is not optimized for mobiles, then you are handing over your potential customers to your competitors.
Having a well-structured mobile-friendly responsive website can help you drive valuable traffic to your website, increase engagement rate, and bring more customers to your business.
“Better content is outweighing more content.” – Rand Fishkin
You may have heard this phrase many times – “content is the king”. It’s completely true! High-quality and relevant content adds value to your website and helps you boost your search engine rankings. No matter how creative and attractive your website is, there is no replacement for quality content. Your website content must be informative, unique, and relevant.
Your content should provide value to your readers. In this respect, consistency matters a lot in the process of search engine optimization. Blogging,for instance, is one of the best ways to maintain consistency and improve your website’s search engine visibility. Haven’t included blogging in your search engine optimization or SEO strategy yet? It’s high time to focus on it!
Title tags are a very important part of a website as it is the first thing that a user sees while researching on the internet. If you want to generate leads, then should focus on optimizing title tags. While optimizing your website’s title tag, make sure that it is unique and descriptive. Besides this, you should focus on the search intent behind the query of your targeted audience.
Keywords are the backbone of the entire SEO process. Choosing the right keywords can help you attract your targeted audience and improve your conversion rate. On the other hand, choosing the wrong keywords can negatively affect your search engine rankings. Therefore, it’s important to perform proper research and choose the relevant keywords to reap astonishing results from your SEO efforts. Working on the right keywords can help you get your business in front of your potential customers which eventually increases your sales as well.
Search engine optimization or SEO is a must for every business today. If done correctly, SEO can help you keep your business ahead of your competitors.
