What on earth is SEO?

According to our friends at Wikipedia:

"Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving the quality and quantity of website traffic to a website or a web page from search engines."

What do I need to do?

Luckily for you, a lot of these best practices come straight out of the Psand toolbox. For those that don’t, we can assist you with giving your website the best chance to be seen and heard.

Spidering

Migrating your website to us? Worried about losing the SEO value? Worry not. We don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, that would just be crazy (and clearly very wrong). We love, cherish and spider your web pages, carefully documenting and matching them up to the new versions and redirect any traffic - and therefore SEO value - automatically.

Sitemap structure

Huh? Well basically, have you ever seen a URL that looks like this? /index.asp?selection=Details&id=1&catref=2&InBox=Broadleaved&cct=2&TypeSearch=&subcat=
Loads of random numbers, dashes, slashes and all-round confusing things. Search engines don't like that either! We make sure all your web pages, directories and URLs are given nice, easy to understand names that actually mean something to humans and search.

Code to text ratio

Search engines give up quickly. Optimising the code to text ratio helps search engines find their way to important content and makes your pages quicker to load - sweet.

XML site map

The SatNav of the SEO world, helping search engines search and index your websites so they know what’s new and important. The site maps even update automatically when new content is added.

Metadata and more

No-one knows your business or product better than you. Get your hands dirty - quickly and easily add and edit the metadata associated with each page to improve your visibility to search engines.

Responsive design

We optimise your website for multiple browsers on various devices. Create a seamless experience between smartphone, tablet and desktop, or be punished by your search results!

Speed and security

The faster your site loads the more love search engines give it and it is not running on HTTPS then you may as well stay on the 2nd page of results forever. We can migrate your site onto HTTPS smoothly.

User experience

We take time to think about UX and the customer's journey. Visual stability is a key feature of User Experience that is recognised by search engines as a ranking factor. Don’t let bad design let you down.
