- Review your website at search.google.com/search-console to discover which pages are running better than others. You can also contact your developer with any errors you discover.
Make your user interface simple and consistent in your website design
Part of what goes into establishing a good interface is how the different parts are connected to one another. By allowing the user to smoothly navigate through the interaction, this defines the information architecture of the user interface.
Research shows that consumers spend no more than 3 minutes searching a website to find what they’re looking for before moving to another site.
Creating a consistent website design for how you want your consumer to view your data is important. When helping them retain the information on your website, your website navigation should be intuitive. This allows your visitors to find the answers or solutions they are looking for
Optimize for search engine and social engagement
Help your desired user find your company faster! Search engine optimization, or SEO, is triggered by when and where you use keywords throughout your website design.
- Creating a great meta description is another way to insure your website will be first on the search without having to pay ad fees.
- Make it as easy as possible for your visitors to share your content on a scheduled basis.
- Social engagement helps to drive large numbers of traffic to your website and will positively impact your search rankings.
Create captivating website content
Keep your content in your website design updated with relevant content for your users. Create a voice your visitors can relate to with original content so you provide a humanistic appeal to your audience.
Creating blogs and keeping your social media up-to-date are great ways to add fresh content. This will keep visitors returning and boosts your SEO strategy.
Engage users with a clear call-to-action on your website design
When you are on a first date, if all you talk about is yourself — chances are, you won’t get a second date. The same principle should be implemented for your website design.
When creating a content that ends with a call-to-action the question should always be “Why is this user on my website?” This is a pivotal question for everything you post that represents your brand.
Let the user know about the subject, why it is relative to THEM, and then create a call-to-action to engage them to move forward to the next step.
Don’t be pushy! For example, try this tactic for joining a mailing list — instead of writing “Subscribe” for an email call-to-action, try “Follow us.” It is friendly, engaging, and still defines the action that will take place.

Google algorithms put a high emphasis on websites being mobile friendly. You may find that your website is lost on mobile platforms due to the unresponsiveness. How do you fix this issue?
