Give Your Site An SEO Service

SEO is not a process that should be carried out once, it should be done throughout the life of the website. We have put together a short guide on how to give your site an SEO check up.

I have compiled a 4 step guide to giving your site an SEO check up and hopefully boost your websites search engine traffic.

Step 1. Search your website for missing Title tags

Title tags are an important part of SEO, so if you are missing them on some of your pages, it will affect your SEO. Every page on your site needs to have a Title tag that links in with the content of the page. If you have a large website then this can be a very time consuming process. You can reduce the time taken by using Google’s Webmaster Tools to analyze your site.

Step 2. Increase Internal Links

By linking to your own content, you are not only making your content available to your users, you are also showing the search engines which of your content is valuable. If you run a blog, try and link to an older post inside every new post. Also revisit your older popular pages and link from them to some more recent relevant content.

Step 3. Is your Website ‘Spider Friendly?’

You may find it useful to check your page using a spider simulator. This will help to identify any SEO improvements that need to be made. Here is a good spider simulator.

Step 4. Find and Remove Dead Links

Finding dead links can be a time consuming process, now it takes only a few seconds thanks to Dead-Links.com. Find any dead links and repair them.

Now you can give your site a monthly SEO check up.

    Oh really David,
    Great post, but i think you should know, that dead-links.com is not so much accurate, because it showing dead links based upon the server speed. and most of the time i have checked there is always not at all proper report for back links, although it identifies actual broken link very well.
    I think Xenu is good one tool to check broken links,
    looking forward to your input on my comment.
