Welcome to our Blog

Creating relevant, correctly written page titles and meta descriptions can help search engines find your website when people enter searches. One of the most important ways to make your website search engine friendly is by always having search engine friendly URLs. SEF URLS can be created with software or manually.

A URL is your website address. First it helps to have terms in your URL that will help people find you in searches. For instance, if your websiet is about car washing, then http://www.carwashingtoday.com is not a bad URL (web address) as it has the term car washing already in it. But then come the secondary pages, like your second page on your website, which might be "Services", showing after your home page. You would then want your address for that page to be "http://www.carwashingtoday.com/services" rather than. "http://www.carwashingtoday.com/?=pages.com15156vls-tmsl.html" or that sort of computer talk.

How does Page Title differ from Meta Descriptions? Both page titles and meta descriptions are used by search engines to help visitors find your information, but they do each have different purposes. A page title is short, usually about 70 characters summing up exactly what you website (home page) or your particular web page is about. A meta description is a short paragraph about your website and what you offer.

Search engines will take exerpts from your Meta Descriptions and place them in the completed search query for the visitor.  It is very important to have good meta descriptions to help visitors find your website. There again, do not repeat your meta descriptions on each page, but include a unique description for each page. These descriptions will show up under the URL of the search shown to the visitor. Each meta description should match the page it is on. Do not just stuff the meta description with keywords. Be relevant and be unique.

If you want your website to compete well in search engine ranking, thereby getting found by new visitors organically, you must have well written page titles. The page title must relate to the page it is on and should be what you want visitors to search for. So, if for example, you have a furniture refinishing business, and this particular page is about stain and paint stripping, a good title would be, "Paint and Stain Furniture Stripping for Furniture Repair in Buford, GA."  As the web surfers search on the Internet for furniture repair or furniture stripping, you should come up. On the first line will be the the title tag for the search result. Search words will be bolded in the title. That way the searcher can see the relevanance of their search.

Important items you may want to include for the in the Home Page Title are name of business, city, and services or products you provide. Secondary page titles of other pages can have the business name but must include what that particular page is about, including key words taken right from that page. Using keywords that are not included on that page can get you penalized with search engines. Your title for that page should be a short synopsis of the page. Do not title a page "new page"  or "untitled" or "page two," or that sort of thing. Do not duplicate your page titles, it is important to have each one unique. Keep your titles to about 70 characters, as search engines like Google will not show the full title and your search engine ranking will no gain anything. Try not to repeat keywords in your title as well, once is enough.

What benefits  a website the most? Is it a pretty design, or great function, or competitive SEO? We think all of the above. The problem is you can't get the above from an inexperienced web designer, you need an experienced professional to get the most for your money.

If your website is pretty, but visitors get confused on what button to push, or how to navigate your website, they are not going to stay for long.
