For those who do not know what the SEO yet, we can say that it is the process of optimising your website for search engine optimisation consider your website as optimal to offer quality to internet users. You can have a great business idea, with a lot of engagement on social networks, but if your website is not optimised, there is a high probability that your website will not appear in the first results. when your target audience searches for terms related to your company.
How to optimise a website step by step
Well, we are going to name the ones that we are going to name below indicators to consider when making a website. If your page is already done, you can still optimise it.
- Number of backlinks. Backlinks are links that are found on other external websites, which redirect to your website. Ideally, there should be a high number of backlinks, but they should be of high quality, i.e. they should be related to your business.
- Redirection with or without www. It may happen that if someone types a website in the search engine without the www in front of it, your website does not appear. Your website must appear when someone searches with or without the www.
- The Title of your page is the main thing. The title should be entered under the
tag. When someone searches for content and your page appears in Google, the first thing that appears in bold is the title. In this Title, we must enter the keyword or main word with which we are going to optimise the page. The length of the title is 55 characters. - Target Description. This tag was very important a few years ago for Google. Nowadays it does not help to optimise but it is advisable that it appears as it is a call to action. The recommended length is 156 characters.
- The website must have the robots.txt file implemented.
- The website must have a sitemap implemented. This can be easily generated with the WordPress plugin Yoast SEO.
- The URL's of your page The web site must have a clear structure, and not be meaningless parameters. For example: Friendly URL: www.accionmk.com/marketing-digital. Unfriendly URL. www.accionmk.com/827?8hj
- Images. We must optimise the weight of the images. We recommend that they weigh no more than 100 KB. In addition, each image must have the Title and ALT tags filled in.
- H labels. These tags act as headings in the texts we create, highlighting the text as titles and subtitles. Therefore, apart from having the main title (meta title) we must create an optimised hierarchy. To do this we recommend including an H1, which would be the title that carries the most weight for SEO, and several H2. If the text is very long, it can contain h3 and successive h3. Never have more h2 than h1. And never have more than 2 h1.
- Bold. This is also very important and nowadays it is part of SEO optimisation. The text that you write on each page should have in bold those keywords that you want to optimise. For example, if I want my post to appear in the first search results when people search for "most demanded courses for workers", we must have that keyword in our text repeatedly throughout the text, so that it is distributed. And of course, it must be in bold.
- The website must have a responsive design. This means that the website must be perfectly visible from any mobile device (smartphones, tablets and computers).
- The website must have a 404 error page
- Loading speed less than 2 seconds.
- Have a secure protocol with HTTPS. This security certificate can be purchased from our hosting.
- To have implemented in our html code the code of the Google Analytics
These are some of the indicators that we must take into account if we want to have a perfect website.
