Go Local Search's photostream

Do you know who built your company site? Are you still in contact with the person or company who created your website? Do you understand the methodology that originally went into creating the site? Can you tell that I am leading you to read more about the importance of thinking about these questions? I’m sneaky.

Understanding how your site is put together is an important step in optimizing it for search engine visibility. But, not everyone knows their own website top to bottom, or from to as is the case. That’s where a site audit, and a socially awkward Internet geek such as myself, can help.

Over the years I’ve noticed a merging of visual aesthetics and user aesthetics, both conscious and unconscious, when I build websites using WordPress.

Often, these tweaks take the form of WordPress plugins.

Search engines are smart, but they still need help. It’s that simple.

The Internet is a bottomless well of content.

This is where a well-optimized website comes into play.
