Website Maintenance is Important
Posted by admin in Website Development on November 4, 2022
Whether it’s your car, your home, or your website, regular maintenance is important to keep things running smoothly.
How are you doing with your website maintenance?
Each day, people and search engines scan the Internet for information about products and services.
To help your website stand out among other sites offering similar products or services, your website needs to be original, interesting, helpful, and informative. And your periodic website maintenance is how you keep your website fresh for your website visitors and search engines.
OK, so what is website maintenance?
Website Maintenance can include:
- Adding a new article or page (visitors and search engines like to find new, helpful information)
- Changing out images / photos for a new look
- Checking for broken hyperlinks (nobody likes finding a broken link on your website)
- Updating information in the site (just read through the pages and articles in your website, and see if you have anything new to share or change; your visitors and search engines won’t know if you don’t tell them)
- Once you get started doing this periodically, you may think of more ways to help your website
Search engines and website visitors appreciate improvements like these to your website. Your periodic maintenance will help you to have higher search engine rankings and more returning website visitors. (These are organic results, so they will be a steady improvement over time, not a sharp jump.) Check your analytics and see the results.

Basic SEO
Posted by admin in Getting Started, Keyword Development on October 11, 2014
Who hasn’t searched the internet for a business website, but then when they found the site, they left un-satisfied because they couldn’t find the information they needed?
And many business owners are frustrated to have a website but get very few website visitors and even less conversions (business from the website).
Basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) will get your website a better ranking from search engines and to get more website visitors!
Help optimize your website for search engines and visitors:
- Use good, long-tailed keywords.
- Helpful, interesting content.
- Easy to use navigation, so your website visitors can easily find what they came to your website looking for.
- Website design to create interest in your website (and your product or service).
There are millions of websites on the internet, each search engine (e.g., Google, Bing, Yahoo!, About, etc.). Each uses their own set of algorithms (calculations) to evaluate each website. Then the websites are ranked (SERPs) according to their opinion.
“Content is King.”, continues to be important to keep as a priority when optimizing websites to rank better in search results. Original, interesting, focused, content will rank better than rambling content that makes no sense. Videos and Photographs which are related to each web page’s topic also help improve ranking.
And Search Engine Optimization guidelines continue to develop and change as search engines compete to provide desired results for internet users.
Often, some professional insight can help you get started in the right direction to your website goals.

Prepare your website for your target audience.
Posted by admin in Getting Started on October 1, 2014
The prospective clients, the group of people that you want to reach through your website, are your target audience.
So, who is your target audience ?
Depending on the topic of your website, your target audience could be:
- world wide, or for a certain area of a specific city,
- for people of any age, or of a determined age group,
- for e-commerce, or for sharing information about a hobby or common interest, etc.
How will your target audience find your website ?
Consider the topic you selected for your website, then define what the people in your target audience would search the Internet for in order to find your website. Make a list of words and short phrases you think your target audience would use to search for your website.
Google Trends can help your website.
Here is where it would be helpful to have some idea what words and short phrases your target audience would use to search for your website, if you could just ask them. Google features Google Trends, which you can use to determine how many people search for a word or short phrase. Google Trends even allows you to compare words and short phrases (from the list that you made) to see which ones more people are searching for. If your website is primarily for local interest, you can refine your Google Trends response for a country and city.
Less searched words and phrases.
- What if some of the words and short phrases you know significantly help describe your website don’t appear to be as popular on Google Trends ?
- What if some of your words or short phrases haven’t been searched for enough for Google Trends to have any data to respond to your request ?
Your list should include some more popular words and short phrases, to increase the probability of your website being found by your target audience. But you can also include words and short phrases on your website that you know significantly help describe your website even if they don’t appear to be as popular on Google Trends. If a member of your target audience is as familiar with the topic of your website as you are, they may search for that same word or phrase, and that could help them find your website
For example, looking at words for a client’s website, Dan’s Floor Store
we compared:
- wood floor installation and wood flooring installation
- hard surface flooring
- tile work
and Google trends showed us that wood floor installation and wood flooring installation were more frequently searched for than hard surface flooring. Tile work is about as popular a search topic as wood floor and wood flooring installation. We use each of the phrases (as applicable) in the content text on the website.
But search word trends are always changing, so you should periodically check how your search words are trending for your target audience in you analytic data, and adjust them accordingly.
“A and B” testing, that is to say trying similar but different approaches to the same goal can also help you find out what works best for attracting your target audience to the website, but that will be another Jax SEO Works article.
