A continuation of my last post for easy steps to SEO happiness

  1. Have content on your page that is more than just text. For example, beyond just images, you can have videos, audio, slideshows, etc.. These different types of multimedia can greatly improve user experience. Just as television is preferred by the majority of adults to reading a book (as sad as that might be) it's much easier to watch something than read it. Not only does it spoon-feed engaging information to the user, but it actually increases the amount of time they spend visiting your site. The more time spent on your site, the larger SEO boost your site will receive.

2. The layout of your page might be even more important than you think. A good site layout should be uncluttered, organized, and clean. Having multiple shorter sections of written words can make it easier for a user to scan through your site. Additional things to be considered are font size and typography. Make sure you are selective when using stylized fonts and crazy colors. Checklists and bullet points are great ways to organize your written content. Simply put a clean and easily digestible site layout will improve your SEO ranking.

3. This next one of very important…contact information on the site should be super easy to find. Providing appropriate contact information establishes trust. If your site is reported, it will truly devastate your SEO.

4. Whether or not you are privy to it, every business owner, site owner, etc. needs to have an active presence on social media. Your SEO ranking can be greatly improved if people share links to your website through social media. This being said always share links to your site on social media, information seen while scrolling through your news feed just takes a click to take a user to your site.

5. Higher a developer to create a mobile application. This might be one of the more expensive routes but Google is now indexing apps in its search and keywords that are found in your app will increase your SEO rankings.

6. Make your site more easily crawlable by removing excess code. A lightweight page that loads fast means better SEO. Places to look for trim is in unused JavaScript and CSS.
