Your site doesn’t show in search results
Your website should rank highly for words and phrases linked to your business. If it doesn’t appear on the first page, or top three map results for local SEO, it’s a sign you need SEO specialists.
Your site doesn’t get much traffic
Do you know how many visitors your site gets? With Google Analytics on your site you can analyse your site’s organic traffic. If organic search isn’t the top traffic driver for your site, it’s time to consider SEO help.
Your site doesn’t have an SSL certificate
SSL certificates keep data secure between servers and build customer trust. No SSL certificate means that your website will have ‘not secure’ in the toolbar, which equals a poor user experience.
Your traffic doesn’t convert
Your website connects with visitors and persuades them to buy your ‘thing’. If people visit your site but don’t convert, it’s an indication that there’s something wrong with the overall user experience. Investing in SEO packages can earn you more conversions and customers.
You don’t use content marketing
Search engines want to rank sites with valuable content that matches or answers people’s search queries. Your site’s content is highly important. Content marketing can increase rankings and allow you to create pages that are informative AND full of keyword rich content.
Your site is outdated and slow
Your website might have lots of old content and broken links. It might not be mobile friendly and you might be a bit embarrassed about it. It might have lots of duplicate content. Resolving all the little technical improvements helps loading speed, Google and the overall usability of your site.
