Changes to Make to Your Website Before the End of 2016

The holidays are upon us and before we know it, 2016 will be over. 2017 brings with it plenty of opportunities for change and growth. In order for your business to reach its full potential next year, you need to have a solid website. Even if you can’t do a complete website overhaul before the end of the year, there are some changes you should do now to make your website more effective.

Refine Your Keywords

Depending on the type of industry you are in, the keywords that you use for search engine optimization probably change from time to time. If you haven’t assessed the keywords on your website now is the perfect time to do so.

Check which keywords you are using and determine whether there are better options. You will also need to make sure that the keywords are used appropriately and not overused. Ensure that all text on your page sounds natural and is easy to read.

Make Sure That Your Website is Mobile Ready

More and more people use mobile devices to access the internet every year. If your website isn’t mobile ready, then you are losing business every day. Before the end of 2016, make sure that you update your website for mobile users.

Add or Update Social Media Buttons

Social media is an excellent way to connect with more potential clients. The social media buttons on your website should direct people to social media websites that you actually use. Also, make sure that your site provides several social media buttons so that readers can share your content through their own social media accounts.

Add or Update Your Blog

A blog is a fantastic way to attract attention to your website. It also provides an opportunity for visitors to share your content on social media. If you don’t have a blog already, now is the best time to start one. The information in your blog should be informative, interesting and easy to read.

The end of the year is the perfect time to update your website to ensure your business’s success in the following year. Alter Impact can help!
