3 Reasons You Should Start Website Maintenance Today
If you are running a business, your website is the tool that highlights what your business is all about. Your website defines your business and the services it offers, giving clients the information that influences their decision to buy. Over the years, though, this information can quickly become outdated, which can adversely affect your business if you do not make the necessary changes.
Consistent website maintenance is vital to your business’ online presence. Here are three reasons why you should continually update your website:
An Updated Website Attracts New Visitors
A great website provides useful information that immediately captures the attention of visitors. If your website is professional and tidy, you are likely to leave a lasting first impression with your website’s new visitors. An unkept, outdated website will often scare prospective customers and traffic away.
Make sure you consistently update your website’s design themes and content to ensure that your visitors are getting the information they need to make a decision to work with you. If your website is your business’ first impression among site visitors, it’s your job to make that experience engaging and worthwhile.
Updated Content Increases Traffic
When there are changes to your business, like promotions or giveaways, update your website and give visitors optimal information when they are browsing your site. Outdated content and information that is irrelevant to visitors drives them away.
Consistent website maintenance ensures that your site visitors receive relevant information when they access your website. Fresh content, like blog posts and newsletters, can also boost your site traffic.
Website Maintenance Increases SEO
High SEO rankings on major search engines, like Google, are vital for the online presence and potential of any business. Fortunately, Google’s ranking algorithm encourages updated content. Whenever you update your website, Google sends its bots to crawl your website and add the new information to its system. Adding new content to your website significantly boosts your ranking on Google, leading to a wide range of possible leads and sales conversions.
If you want to boost your website’s SEO and obtain new customers, regular website maintenance is the way to go. Contact Virteom today to update your website and improve your business' reach
Own Your Own Content
In case you were not aware the next big buzz phrase is 'Original Content'. In fact some have come forward and claimed this to be a bigger moment than SEO. So what does it all really mean to you? Let's take a closer look at what is meant by owning your own content. Most of this movement stems from Google. Google is basically dinging websites if it finds duplicate content on the web. So if you are just borrowing someone else's content and placing it on your website you may not be doing yourself any favors. Try and place your content within a domain that YOU own and with hyperlinks that YOU control. Are you the Owner? Why did I underline and stress YOU? There is this trend or should I say movement where persons and organizations are utilizing third party blogging services to store their original content. In some cases persons or organizations are spending hundreds and even thousands a month to store this newly created
