Maintaining consistently high page rankings with the search engines can be an ongoing and time-consuming task, especially if you’re not certain which areas you should be focusing on. For some – ecommerce sites for examples – keeping the site highly visible to web spiders is absolutely crucial. This is where SEO – Search Engine Optimisation – can offer real benefits.
Essentially, SEO means doing everything possible to ensure the text on your pages matches the key words and phrases that most people are searching for. It can involve refreshing the content regularly, incorporating keywords into the body copy of your pages, and using appropriate words for the page titles. It’s simply astonishing how many websites you see where these areas have clearly not been considered either by the website owner of the original creator of the site.
Optimising the content of your pages gives maximum appeal to the web ‘spiders’ that crawl the internet looking for matches to the keywords being typed into the ‘Search’ field. Scoring good results here means your site is more likely to achieve a strong page ranking – making your site visible to more people. Remember, if your site doesn’t appear on the first 2 pages of a ‘search’ result, you’ve little chance of being seen.
At Web Repair Service we use a series of advanced analytical tools to evaluate how well a customer’s site is performing (our software ‘crawls’ the site, replicating the behaviour of a typical search engine). Then we make our recommendations on how performance can be improved.
