Here at Pumpkin Web Design, we are SEO, web design, and web marketing experts. As a result, we have produced this professional SEO ticklist.
#1 Mobile Friendly
One of the most important items on the professional SEO ticklist is to make sure your website and your content is mobile friendly. This is because the amount of searches on mobile devices are ever increasing, and in fact, around 40% of people search only using a smart phone.
In addition, Google are developing a mobile first platform.
#2 HTML Errors
Another important tip is to check through all of your html for errors. This is because if there is an issue with your html code, the webpage can have issues rendering effectively and displaying your content in a user friendly way. As a result, your web page will likely be slower to load and your optimisation code may not be working.
Furthermore, Google can struggle to read your webpage if there are errors in your HTML code. This means that Google wont be able to understand how to navigate your webpage, or where to place it on the SERP.
Consequently, HTML errors will likely lead to a lower page ranking.
#3 Image Optimisation
Overly large images, or images that are not optimised well can cause data bottlenecks. As a result, you could be uploading a thumbnail image, which is actually 2 mb in size. This makes a difference when it comes to displaying and loading your web page, especially in terms of time.
Consequently, you should make sure all images are optimised to make sure your page ranks as highly as possible.
In summary
Your professional SEO ticklist should make sure you review the mobile suitability of your website, the html code for potential issues, and the image sizes. If you need more advice or support, why not contact the professionals at Pumpkin Web Design today?
