SEO

Just a Breeze

SEO is such a breeze when managing your website in either Concrete5® or WordPress™.

Simply add meta data to any page or image live right in your browser. Both were designed with search in mind, and come installed with a number of tools to help you fine tune your website's search engine performance.

That doesn't necessarily mean that all blocks and themes are built with SEO in mind. But for the most part Concrete5 and WordPress™ will make your life a lot easier when it comes to search engine optimization.

DigitizeThis will set up and configure this for you so that you manage your SEO tools with ease. If you require additional tools DigitizeThis can help you though it will cost an additional small fee about £15.

Page Indexing

Your website is set up to automatically generate a sitemap.xml file.  

This file allows Google to easily be notified when new content is added to your site, making sure all of your pages get indexed. Generating a sitemap isn't essential in getting indexed. Crawlers will travel through links, indexing what they find. But it does make the process more efficient.

You simply visit  "Generate Sitemap File", run from the System & Maintenance section of your site's dashboard and hit automate.  This is because by default, the sitemap job is only set up to be run manually, so you should remember to regenerate it periodically after adding new content to your site.

Page Ranking

So how do you get your Concrete5 or WordPress webpages to rank well in Google? When ranking your pages, Search engines use a complex mix of factors called algorithms.  Your choice of framework be it Concrete5 or WordPress shouldn't be overemphasized in determining how well you rank. Most of your attention should really be paid to things like creating relevant content, well structured html, and site popularity.

 

Relevant Keywords

Keyword targeting is a good place to start, both for your website as a whole and for individual pages. DigitizeThis can help target each page for just one or two key terms. We can add services such as a Keyword Tool to determine which searches are more popular.  Remember, Google's good at detecting when keyword stuffing becomes unnatural, and your site could be penalized for being spammy.
