Website SEO tidy-up checklist – Part 1

SEO tips

Do you want to rank higher in search engines and increase website traffic? Then it’s time for a website spring clean (or should I call it autumn clean?)

Over the next few weeks, I’ll give you some tips on what to do. Not too much at once, just an hour or less each week to help you improve your website.

Here we go:
Tip 1: check all the links on your website. Are they working or do they go to error pages. If they don't work, fix them!

Tip 2: Ensure your photos have ‘alt tags’ or captions. Alt tags are pop up descriptions of the photos (usually in yellow boxes). Captions are descriptions below an image.
They are important for two reasons. Firstly, your website audience wants to know what they’re looking at, and secondly, you can add relevant keywords to each photo that will help people find your website. The photos will also pop up in Google Image searches.

That’s all for now! Plan a time in the next few days or early next week to do these two little jobs.

Have a great weekend!
