Editor's Notes
- That’s why it’s important to optimize all assets
- Build out this concept verbally
- Code is more on the technical side. We’ll usually be talking to your vendor about the technical changes we make to make sure that your site can be easily spidered by search engines. These are a few of the things we check when looking at a site, if you have cookies implemented on the site, how easily navigable your site is, whether there’s any flash.
- Next we have content. A few of the things we check for are keyword rich content, search-friendly urls, optimized and unique meta descriptions and keywords. For instance, on party of gold’s site, the meta descriptions and keywords were all exactly the same on each page, so we need to make sure to change that.
