We recommend having your business name in the domain name, not the keyword. Bonus if your business name has the target keyword.
Use the right website platform
The right platform for your website will depend on many factors but you need to consider SEO in your selection process.
We recommend development with WordPress because it’s open-source (support) and easy SEO setup. There are multiple WordPress SEO plug-ins available.
Another popular option is Webflow, which has SEO options built in.
Other website platforms, such as Wix, Squarespace, etc., are all great alternatives and less technical.
Make sure it’s fast loading
Multiple factors can affect website speed, such as the website platform, theme/code and hosting provider.
Use a Google PageSpeed Insights tool to identify opportunities to improve your website speed.
We recommend going with WPEngine for a WordPress website because they specialise in faster WordPress performance and load time.
Create a great user experience
Websites are created for people, NOT search engines. So don’t create pages by inserting keywords everywhere.
Search engines have identified that creating a good user experience is important and thus reward websites with positive user experiences.
Create an SEO structure
Both humans and Google’s algorithms prefer structure.
Before creating your website content make sure to sketch the page layout and map the hierarchy of pages, so it is easy for humans to navigate and Google to find and understand what the content is about.
Back in the day, Google provided pages with a ‘PageRank’ and linking pages together would pass link juice “value” from page to page.

Above are just a few link types, but not all links are equal. Where you get the backlink from is important too.
Acquiring a link from a low-quality website isn’t as valuable as a link from a popular website.

2. Nofollow backlinks – these are less common and tells Google to ignore the link
Technical SEO
