As you’ll know if you’ve ever looked through out Insights page, Search Engine Optimisation is not a buzzword that’s going out of fashion: it is a key pillar of online success for businesses, and the principles behind SEO are going nowhere.
You need a website built securely, to high quality, with all of Google’s boxes ticked. It needs to be trustworthy to both users and search engine crawlers, and it should aim to be an authority in its field.
On top of this are secondary concerns like proper content, social links and all the rest.
So, how do you find out if you’re on the right track? Through a Wolf SEO Audit.
Undertaking one of our thorough SEO audits will show you where you’re succeeding online, and where there is definite room for improvement. This is more than just helping you to boost Google rankings, however, as a lot of these issues effect your user retention, lead conversion and social presence.
