What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
When a business wants to improve their online and search engine visibility, Search Engine Optimisation techniques should be used. Producing content that incorporates the relevant keywords and phrases, a business can enable their website to be placed in a higher search ranking on a search engine, such as Google search. In turn, this will benefit the sales of their product or service as their business is seen by higher numbers of online traffic.
Most customers focus their research on the first page of the search results. Therefore, a customer is very likely to look into your business if it is one of the first webpages that they see.
Search engines such as Google or Yahoo may organise results pages based on a number of factors, such as website speed and user experience. Nevertheless, website owners can be sure that by optimizing their site and producing SEO optimised content, their webpage visits will increase.
WordPress web design and SEO: Where do we start with SEO?
Our SEO specialists like to complete a comprehensive SEO audit prior to working on your webpage.

From this information, our experts can provide tailored advice on how to make it easier for search engines to crawl your website, and improve your web pages to ensure they are ranked highly.

WordPress sites can be used for a number of different types of business due to the variety of WordPress themes available on the system.
Benefits of WordPress website designers
Building a website can be complex and take time. Therefore, it is a great idea to instruct a website designer. More specifically, a designer whose expertise lie in Search Engine Optimisation. This instruction will save time, alongside allowing more complex functions to be incorporated into the website.
An expert WordPress web design agency will have knowledge regarding WordPress themes, plugins, and tools, as opposed to the basic tools which may be used if you only have a beginner level of understanding.
Alongside building a webpage, a WordPress web designer can construct an xml sitemap. This ‘contents table’ for your website is beneficial for SEO as it indicates to the search engine which information is available on your website and how to access it. An effective xml sitemap will ensure that your webpage is placed on the relevant results page.
When constructing a webpage, an expert WordPress designer would have knowledge regarding the preparation of alt text. This text is the written words that appear when an image does not load properly on a webpage. Including alt text with the images on a webpage is beneficial for a number of reasons, for example, it allows search engines to better analyse your page and rank it accordingly. Alongside this, it is helpful for the audio description tools for customers with visual impairments.
Although an individual may be able to build a basic website themselves, it is worth employing a skilled professional. This is because a business will quickly make the money back that they spent on a web designer, as a result of better online visibility and increased sales.
