Organize Your Website

Your website’s ranking on Google will depend on how much you have organized it to rank well on different aspects. SEO is not the end of your tasks when it comes to Google. One of the things Google looks for is domain authority which is an estimate of how well a domain will perform in a search. Sites with good external links are ranked high in the Domain Authority List.

Consider implementing a content pillar on your website. This is how well-organized websites help search engines understand the hierarchy of content in their websites. Also, clean out old unnecessary pages in your website that drag down its performance. Always implement the best SEO practices in each of your web pages to ensure top rank and visibility of each individual page. Finally, as mentioned, get external backlinks to some of your best content.

Create Great Content

The way content is made has changed drastically over the decades. It used to be that people just gathered around the radio or TV and listened to the same programs. Now we have a multitude of devices that personalize experiences and content to each age, culture, and stratum of society.
