Regular site changes improve your search engine ranking.

 

Some refreshing ideas to consider:

Professional Critique of DIY sites

If you have constructed your own website and would like professional feedback on color palette/fonts/navigation/page construction/copy editing,  I can help.

 

  • This service includes a 45 minute assessment with feedback via a Zoom         appointment.  
  • Please submit a description of your target audience(s) and the site URL         in advance, so that I may review your site before the appointment.

Regularly Scheduled Maintenance Updates for sites

All websites/blogs need to be kept current on the "backend".  This is the part of the site that is not visible, but holds all the computer code that forms your site.  As programmers of popular site builders update and fix troubles in their codes, new versions of apps and themes and programs become available.  These program updates and coding updates are NOT automatically reflected in your site. 

 

  • Updates are done individually, by hand, so that your site continues to               work properly.

 

To assist in keeping your site current, I offer regularly scheduled site maintenance services.

Setting up a Google Profile for your business

Google offers a great, free product that allows your business to be found when potential customers are using a search engine to locate businesses,  restaurants, or services. GBP set-up includes putting in photos, business hours, contact information, and your choice of customer interaction messaging.

 

*Google Business Profiles are similiar to social media in that regular attention to making posts or adding new content will keep your profile fresh and new, prompting Google to show your profile more readily on customer searches.
