It Needs to be Responsive<\/h2>\n<p>For small businesses, especially local ones, having great rankings in mobile search is incredibly important. Why? For starters,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/searchenginewatch.com\/sew\/study\/2343577\/google-local-searches-lead-50-of-mobile-users-to-visit-stores-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">50% of consumers<\/a>\u00a0who perform a local search on mobile devices visit a store within a day of their search. What\u2019s even more exciting is that\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/searchengineland.com\/study-78-percent-local-mobile-searches-result-offline-purchases-188660\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">78% of mobile searches<\/a>\u00a0for local business lead to offline purchases.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to do well in mobile search results, you will want to have a mobile-friendly design. Responsive design is the easiest to aim for because it offers a similar user experience to desktop visitors, tablet visitors, and smart phone visitors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/responsive-web-design1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-140635 aligncenter b-lazy pcimg b-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/responsive-web-design1.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/responsive-web-design1.png 760w, https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/responsive-web-design1-480x339.png 480w, https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/responsive-web-design1-680x480.png 680w\" alt=\"responsive design is the easiest solution for mobile-friendly web design\" width=\"760\" height=\"537\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With responsive design, you don\u2019t have to create multiple pages for different screen sizes. Instead, you create your website pages as you would normally, and the responsive theme or template will make sure it reshapes itself to fit on any screen size.<\/p>\n<p>As far as platform goes, you can choose to run your website with static HTML template files with responsive design or content management systems with responsive themes. WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems that allows you to create a static website, blog, e-commerce store, forum, or anything else you want to run.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress has also been widely respected as the best platform for SEO, as noted by Google\u2019s former representative\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mattcutts.com\/blog\/seo-for-bloggers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matt Cutts<\/a>. Combined with a responsive theme and an SEO plugin like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress SEO by Yoast<\/a>\u00a0(which SEJ uses),\u00a0it is a surefire winner for search.<\/p>\n<h2>2. The Important Parts Need to be in the Text<\/h2>\n<p>While search engines are able to crawl more types of media, text has always been the best option for search optimization. This is why everyone is talking about content marketing \u2013 you need written content for every page of your website.<\/p>\n<p>Your goal should be to include text on\u00a0<em>every page<\/em>\u00a0of your website. Even a small amount of text, such as a 150-word product description, is better than none. If you post videos or audio, include a text-based transcription on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don\u2019t forget the text needed for each page\u2019s SEO title (50 \u2013 60 characters) and meta description (150 \u2013 160 characters). Both of these elements should be unique and should include main keyword phrases the page is to be optimized for.<\/p>\n<p>A common mistake many local businesses make on their website is including important information in images rather than text.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/35769?hl=en#design_and_content_guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Webmaster Guidelines<\/a>\u00a0specifically states to \u201cTry to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn\u2019t recognize text contained in images.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This tip is especially important for local businesses that put their address and phone number in header or footer images. Either take them out of the images or include a text version of them elsewhere on your website. In addition to being beneficial for search crawlers, it is helpful to visitors on mobile who want to click-through and call or copy and paste your address for directions.<\/p>\n<p>And last, but not least, get some great text in your URLs. Make sure your website is set to show yourdomain.com\/your-page-name-with-keywords versus yourdomain.com\/p=?122. This helps boost the keyword optimization for your page and helps visitors know what content is going to be on the page when they see the link without additional reference.<\/p>\n<h2>3. You Must Optimize Your Images<\/h2>\n<p>When you do use images, you can optimize them with text for better search visibility. This not only allows you to further optimize your product page for a specific keyword phrase, but it gives your photo the chance to appear in Google image search results.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few ways to optimize your images with text. First, you can rename your image\u2019s filename to include specific keywords. For example, instead of uploading a picture on an air conditioning repair service page as IMAGE0001.jpg, change it to phoenix-air-conditioning-repair-services.jpg. This puts your page\u2019s main keywords in the filename of the image.<\/p>\n<p>Next, use all of the attributes HTML has to offer for inserting an image on the page. Continuing with the same example, you would have the following.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/HTML-attributes-for-inserting-images.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-140636 size-full b-lazy pcimg b-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/HTML-attributes-for-inserting-images.jpg\" alt=\"HTML attributes fro inserting images\" width=\"431\" height=\"29\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the above HTML code, you have alt text, which will be shown if the image cannot be loaded on the page or if the visitor is using a screen reader. The title text will be shown when someone hovers over the image.<\/p>\n<p>Optionally, create a caption directly beneath your image that explains what it is. This should be one short phrase or sentence that shows how the image is relevant to the page, such as\u00a0<em>Bob\u2019s AC &amp; Heating offers affordable air conditioning repair services in Phoenix and surrounding areas<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"summitad-wrap\">\n<div class=\"summitad-text\">\n<p><strong>SEO PowerSuite.

You Need a Clear, Text-Based Navigation Structure<\/h2>\n<p>Another rule straight from Google Webmaster Guidelines is to \u201d Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Think of your website\u2019s organization and plan your link structure accordingly. Depending on the number of pages your website has, this could be as simple as creating a main navigation bar linking to the main five pages on your website. Or it could be as complicated as coming up with categories, subcategories, and the pages within each.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-navigation-structure.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-140637 aligncenter b-lazy pcimg b-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-navigation-structure.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-navigation-structure.png 760w, https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-navigation-structure-480x527.png 480w, https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-navigation-structure-680x746.png 680w\" alt=\"clear navigation structure\" width=\"760\" height=\"834\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For user experience purposes, you should not go more than three levels deep with your links. Take Amazon, for instance. You already see top products when you click into a main category page, with the option to further limit the results by subcategories.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, don\u2019t be the website that makes visitors go from the home page to a category page, then a subcategory, and then another subcategory before getting to what they want.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to clear navigation for your users, you should create simple text links in the footer of your website for the main pages on your website. This ensures that search crawlers (and visitors) can\u2019t miss them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-footer-links.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-140638 aligncenter b-lazy pcimg b-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-footer-links.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-footer-links.png 760w, https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-footer-links-480x129.png 480w, https:\/\/cdn.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/website-footer-links-680x183.png 680w\" alt=\"text links in the footer of a website\" width=\"760\" height=\"205\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>5. Don\u2019t Forget to Redirect<\/h2>\n<p>If you are redesigning a new version of your website, make sure you don\u2019t lose any of your old pages. For example, you might have a page on your old website with the URL yourdomain.com\/your-page, and the new page ended up with the URL of yourdomain.com\/your-new-page.<\/p>\n<p>Once you delete the old page, people who visit that page will receive a 404 error, telling them the page no longer exists. If the old page ranked well in search for a keyword, and search crawlers find the page no longer exists, the old page will ultimately be removed from search results. Hence, any referral or organic search traffic you were receiving to that page will be lost, unless you redirect the old page to the new one.<\/p>\n<p>Use 301 redirects to tell search engines that the old page URL (yourdomain.com\/your-page) is now the new page URL (yourdomain.com\/your-new-page). This will ensure you keep the traffic and SEO value for your page. Any links to your old pages will count towards your new pages when you use 301 redirects, which will help you maintain the domain authority you have built through your SEO efforts.<\/p>\n<p>If you use WordPress, you can use a simple plugin called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/redirection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Redirection<\/a>\u00a0to create these redirects within your WordPress dashboard. Otherwise, you may need to contact your web hosting company or web designer to have them create a .htaccess file on your web server. The format would look like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>redirect 301 \/your-page \/your-new-page<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To make sure you have redirected the pages you get traffic to from the old URL to the new one, set your website up on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Search Console\u00a0<\/a>(formerly Google Webmaster Tools). It will tell you in the Crawl Errors report which links on your website result in a Not Found (404) error. These should be redirected to new links with similar content.<\/p>\n<p>The same thing goes for updating the permalinks on your website. If you started with ugly permalinks (yourdomain.com\/p=?122) and you want to update to keyword optimized ones (yourdomain.com\/your-page-name-with-keywords), then you will need to redirect all of the old URLs to the new ones.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing you can do as a backup for any links you may forget to redirect is a customized 404 page. WordPress users can use the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/404page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">404page plugin<\/a>\u00a0to create a customized page that visitors to their website will go to if a page on their website is not found or redirected properly.<\/p>\n<p>This page should apologize to visitors for the content they were looking for not being found, and then direct them to the top alternative pages on the website instead. For example, you could include links to your homepage, main product page, main service page, contact information page, about page, support page, or blog.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>In Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, SEO friendly web design isn\u2019t just about search engines. Making your website search engine friendly will also make it visitor friendly, from the design to the functionality.
