• do you need to cater for multiple languages and currencies?
• are you planning to sell things on your site?

SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is the process of optimising your website so it has the best chance of appearing near the top of search results for the keywords that your customers are using to find you.

There are lots of different aspects of SEO but we tend to focus on “on-page” SEO which is optimising everything on your website including text content, images, how fast the site loads and meta tags, which are the behind the scenes tags that can help you rank for relevant searches.

The time it takes for your website to appear on page 1 of Google depends on a number of factors. It depends on the search phrase people are using to find your website and the number of other websites that are also available for those search phrases. Nobody can truly say how long it will take for your website to appear at the top of search engine results pages (including people who actually work for Google), however there are a number of factors that can improve your chances. Building your website on WordPress is a good start as WordPress has some great Search Engine Optimisation fundamentals built-in. Creating unique and interesting content on a regular basis for your website is also critical to increase your visibility amongst search engines.

We will install Google analytics software on your new website and show you how to log into your Google analytics account where you can see a wide range of statistics about your website including number of visits, page views and the amount of time people are spending on your website.
