A website has several
key elements that work together for its success, namely design, structure,
content, maintenance, and SEO optimization. As we seek out information the
social standard in today’s society is to Google it, or type in a word or phrase
around what you are seeking. This is the importance of SEO optimization. You
can have the best website in the world but if it is never found, it is
worthless. Design and structure piggyback off each other providing a visually
rich but branded experience when readers visit the site. With the use of any technology,
the backend coding needs ongoing maintenance. Just like the internet, a website
is constantly evolving and requires updates to continue to be up to its highest
value.
One of the most
effective ways to maintain a high SEO ranking is through regular blogging, or
content creations. By using SEO keywords and phrases strategically placed
throughout posts and when tagging posts is how to continually optimize a site.
