Your Images are Probably Puppies or Kittens<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Search engines do not &#8220;see&#8221; images<\/b>. Instead, they scan primarily for text.

Yes, names that actually let the search engine know what they are looking at. Otherwise, you might as well be showing puppies or kittens, and while cute, they will end up hurting your website\u2019s rankings.<\/p>\n<p>We also mentioned alt texts. &#8216;Alt text&#8217; is a contraction of &#8216;alternative text&#8217;.

The truth is that it\u2019s going to be a waste of time to track all the analytics on your website. Instead, focus on the metrics that align with your business objectives. For starters, you should track and analyze website metrics like unique page views, bounce rates, number of returning visitors, traffic sources and your most visited pages. This will give you great insight on why people are coming to your website. You might be surprised!<\/p>\n<p>You can then analyze the data you collect to make informed business decisions that\u2019d drive your business\u2019 growth.<\/p>\n<p>We use two different analytics tools. First, we use <a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.google.com\/analytics\/web\/\">Google Analytics<\/a> and secondly, we use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/products\/marketing\/analytics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HubSpot&#8217;s Marketing &amp; Analytics Dashboard<\/a>.

Poor Internal Linking<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Links are essential for improving website authority on search engines. However, many website owners make the mistake of either using too many or too few links.<\/p>\n<p>If there are too many links on a page, it can become distracting. And too few links could make the article or web page look less authoritative.<\/p>\n<p>Another poor linking mistake is when you don\u2019t use anchor text for internal links. You&#8217;ve likely come across websites with a \u201cClick here\u201d or some other generic text. Did you click it? Likely not.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8fc1ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f8fc1ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0px;\">Fix #7 Create an internal link structure<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We periodically use SEMrush to run site audits for both our own and our client websites to identify internal linking opportunities across each website.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93cb1fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"93cb1fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"648\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalfriks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sem-rush-website-audit.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1650\" alt=\"SEMRush Website Audit\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalfriks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sem-rush-website-audit.png 648w, https:\/\/digitalfriks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/sem-rush-website-audit-300x140.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f41708 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f41708\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You could also create a link structure that helps you naturally include internal links to existing content whenever you\u2019re creating new blog posts or web pages.<\/p>\n<p>However, as much as you want to build internal links between your web pages, don&#8217;t go around linking to everything just for the sake of it.

This makes people wary, if you are a true expert in your field, you should let people know what to expect in terms of what your product or service can cost. And the thing is, over 80% of visitors will not call for price.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: var(--nv-site-bg); color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0px;\">Fix #10 Provide pricing information, even if it&#8217;s not specific<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We understand that may times prices cannot be fixed. For example, if you repair roofs, well&#8230; not all roofs are the same size nor have the same repair needs. Or, if you sell kitchens, not all kitchens are created equal. And not all needs and likes are similar, either.<\/p>\n<p>But you can provide some base line prices. Let&#8217;s take the roofing example, and bear in mind we are making this numbers up, OK? You let your visitors know you are the best, not one of the best, the best. And you start with a basic consult to provide an accurate estimate of the work that needs to be done at the customer&#8217;s house. This cost is $100.<\/p>\n<p>But, if the client decides to move forward with your recommendation, you will apply those $100 towards the estimate you make. See?
