There are a number of ‘best practices’ that must be implemented on your website to make it easier for search engines to crawl, index and understand your website content.
First and foremost, your site must have good content for your target market. In addition though, by making you site more ‘readable’ for search engine robots, you stand a good chance of improving your rankings – and this improves the amount of relevant traffic visiting your site.
It is first important to understand that you don’t rank an entire website for a relevant search term – you rank a page of that website. This is achieved by creating a relevant page, then optimising that page for a core search term, and then linking that page to other relevant content.
Making your site easy to navigate for both humans and Search Engine Robots is important. Navigation from the home page to deeper pages needs to be logical and intuitive. The use of a sitemap, breadcrumbs, visual on page navigation and the ability to move forwards and backwards through the site with ease are standard practices we implement.
However, its worth noting that humans and robots do navigate differently, and for this reason, we ensure robots are provided with a special XML sitemap to help them too.
Australia is a world leader for mobile device use. We are amongst the most prolific users of smart phones on the planet. For this reason, you must optimise your website to ensure the user experience is consistent across both mobile devices and desktop -and this requires a responsive site.
However, with a responsive site, you must ensure that your site navigation is not set up to confuse Googles two robots (Googlebot for desktop and Googlebot-mobile for mobile devices).
