It’s Valentine’s Day - love is in the air! But is it on your website? If the romance between you and Google isn’t going as planned, here we list 7 reasons where you might be going wrong.
Have you matched with the Googlebot on Tinder? If not, maybe it’s because your website isn’t mobile-optimized enough. Since 2015, the search engine has shown a strong preference for mobile websites. Keyword: responsive design.
How annoying is it to wait for your date to turn up? It’s exactly the same for your users when your website takes more than 3 seconds to load. What you have to do: guarantee a great page speed.
How much chocolate and alcohol did it take to get over having your heart broken? Help everyone stay healthy, make sure no-one has to suffer a broken 404 page.
Trust is key in any relationship, and it’s the same for your website and your users. If you still don’t have a secure connection, it’s now or never.
You’re not the only one to age and lose your good looks; your content does too. Regularly look after your content and make sure it stays up to date.
Untidy socks can ruin a relationship. The same goes for your internal link structure: if it’s messy and the links don’t match with the anchor text, Google can get really upset. So use the appropriate keyword.
It’s what’s on the inside that counts: inner beauty is just as important. Help Google to understand what your website is really about and set your meta tags properly: title, description, alt.
