SEO checklist for new hand made websites
An SEO checklist to go through before the launch of a new website. Times are changed - spiders are on the new web site within minutes. And the first impressions count the most. It's hard job to change their minds afterwards. Even a cool slogan on the temporary placeholder page gets coined in and will follow like a shadow for a long time until it wears off at last.
Accessibility
Broken links, too duplicate or skimmy content. Xenu checks for links, human checks for indexable and informative content.
Keyword targeting
Keyword hierarchy, search volume, keyword competition.
Content quality and value
Content relevance to the target groups and business strategies of the website.
Website design
Not just the beauty but ease of use, usability, user experience, UX. What the test group says? Feedback Army, the cost is $20.
Social media.
Share buttons on the site. Well, a site can exist without any social media buttons at all. But still it would be a good idea to be ready for sending social media signals to search engines.
