5 Must-Have WordPress Plugins That Enhance Website Functionality

Building a website without SEO is like building a road without direction. It could be costing you more than you imagine. Your website is the home base for all your marketing efforts. That’s why your page loading time should be up to speed and design clean and user friendly and all content fully optimized for search. One way to achieve it? By installing some WordPress Plugins that enhance the performance of your website.  

According to this research, a visitor can form an opinion about your online presence in about .05 seconds once the page loads. That means what they see online can either make or break your business! If a well-designed website is not one of your most utilized tools at the moment, we’re here to tell you it’s time to use these must-have WordPress Plugins.  

  

5 Must-Have WordPress Plugins That Enhance Website Functionality  

 

  1. Yoast SEO– This WordPress plugin is one of the most popular ones as it helps you with your search engine optimization. Since we all know how important it is to feature optimized content on your website, it’s worth considering this plugin for its readability and SEO analysis.  
  2. Google XML Sitemaps– Once you install and activate this plugin on your website, a sitemap will be generated automatically. This way it’s easier for search engines to index your blog. The plugin does everything for you, updating your sitemap after each new piece of content that you publish. 
  3. W3 Total Cache– As Neil Patel once mentioned, many people overlook just how important it is to provide a lightning quick experience with each website visit. Even Google has made it clear that site speed is an important ranking factor. Thankfully with this plugin, you can improve site speed, as well as the overall user experience. 
  4. Jetpack – We cannot stress enough how important it is to invest in your website’s security! This plugin provides just that, plus it offers performance and site management. Jetpack is your site’s security detail, guarding you against brute-force attacks and unauthorized logins.
  5. Akismet Anti-Spam– Quite possibly the best way in the world to protect your blog from spam. Akismet checks your comments and contact form submissions against our global database of spam to prevent your site from publishing malicious content.

Is Your HTTP Website Losing Traffic? Here’s why. 

by

http website

In the past years, security in the digital space has become a prominent concern among online creators and consumers. More recently, we’ve seen new GDPR compliance requirements as well as many Google Chrome updates issuing security warnings to those who manage an http website collecting some sort of customer data. If you’re one of the web owners who still haven’t upgraded to HTTPS, you may want to reconsider. Here’s why. 

According to Search Engine Journal, Google Chrome will show a prominent “Not Secure” message in the browser bar starting in October 2018. After October 2018 Chrome and likely all other Chrome based browsers will display enhanced security warnings that may create higher bounce rates for your site and concomitantly lower sales and conversions. 

Benefits of Purchasing a SSL Certificate  

These days, there’s nothing more important to your brand than being authentic and making your customers feel well taken care of. That is why security of their private information should be your top priority when managing your online business.  

When the SSL Certificate is implemented on your website, it establishes an online entity’s credentials for doing business on the Web. Such action promotes trust, protection, confidentiality and also, better ranking of your business in Google search. Win win! 

 

Ready to upgrade your HTTP Website?  

 

At Advertising Is Simple, we are offering implementation on every page and handling redirects for $249 until July 31, 2018 (regular price: $299). *SSL Certificate fee not included – must be purchased by the client separately. 

Have more questions about the SSL Certificate and upgrading to HTTPS? Do not hesitate to ask! We are here to help you implement any necessary changes to your website.

5 Reasons Why a Good Website Design is Important for Business Growth

good website design

Did you know investing in a good website design early on is one of the smartest things a business can do? Why? Because there’s no better way to quickly inform your customers who you are, what you do and how you do it better than your competition.  

Research shows that a user/ potential customer can form an opinion about your online presence in about .05 seconds once the page loads. That means what they see online can either make or break your business! If a well-designed website is not you first and foremost marketing tool at the moment, we’re here to tell you it’s time to change that! Here’s 5 more reasons why a good website design is important for your business growth: 

 

5 Reasons Why a Good Website Design is Important for Business Growth 

 

  1.  Better Branding. In simple words, your website should act as an extension of your brand. To leave a lasting impression on your visitors, invest in a professional looking website with clear call-to-actions for potential customers. Also, keep in mind that if your web presence doesn’t transfer to a good experience on mobile devices, about 50% of your visitors will most likely think you don’t care about them. 
  2. Higher Google ranking. By creating a responsive and mobile-friendly website, you will have greater success in reaching more potential customers. Implementing SEO and creating quality content tells a search engine like Google that your website is relevant, therefore more people need to see it. Result? Higher rankings!
  3. Data-Driven Results. Use Google Analytics (for free) to learn how your users are interacting with your company’s website and then improve their experience accordingly. Trust us, your website will prove invaluable in providing data about your customers and their buying behaviors! 
  4. 24/7 Accessibility. With the help of a good website design, business owners are able to create a user-friendly and welcoming online environment where visitors can get useful information any time of the day. 
  5. Better Customer Service. One last thing to remember when it comes to a good website design is that it should be all about the user! That means easy navigation, clean layout, visible contact information, up to date links and of course, quality content. Your clientele will NOT be impressed with a dated and poor functioning website! Remember, first impression counts! 

 

As you can see, a good website design has the potential of becoming the most effective marketing and branding material your business can use.

The Battle for Internet Supremacy and Simplifying SEO

It’s true. Getting onto the front page of Google for your particular keywords is a battle.  Moreover, not one of those quick little skirmishes that are over in a few days, but a full out war that calls for consistent commitment of troops and evaluation of strategy.

It’s no wonder small business owners that have little time to commit to this battle, feel like they’ve lost the battle before it really even started.  The good news is that, although algorithms are in a constant state of flux, there is a constant that can help any business of any size compete.

We will get into that in a little bit, but first a little about search engine optimization, or SEO as it’s known in the digital arena. SEO is the number one tactic in building an online presence and getting traffic to your site. The problem is that there is such a wide variety of conflicting information regarding the topic.

While some may be good advice, it is best to start from the beginning – your website. Implementing all the right ingredients within your website is a great (and necessary) place to start. A rock solid online presence begins with the basics, with which everyone has access.

What access you ask?

Well the folks at Google have been providing website owners with a wide variety of guides and tools on ensuring that businesses build their websites with all the things it needs to earn more website traffic and visibility. Pay attention to the fundamentals and you just might take down a giant!

So go straight to Google, the 4 Star Generals of online presence, to develop your website with a SEO strategy that will get you well on the way to winning many wars to come!

The strategies that Google sanctions via their Webmaster Guidelines can have your website accrue all the right strengths it will need to compete.

Here is a summary of the most important SEO factors in 2016:

  • Good site structure including easy to navigate pages
  • Website loads quickly and is secure
  • Website provides a good mobile responsive experience
  • Unique content and meta data for each page
  • Structured data (schema markup) to identify the type of website page
  • Well written and original that is valuable to readers
  • Verify your site with Google’s My Business (also called Google Plus or Google Local)

Google has an army of free tools for website owners to utilize in order to ascertain that their website is moving in the right direction and gaining the stamina it needs to be competitive online.

The essential Google toolkit includes:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google Webmaster Tools
  • Google My Business
  • Google Page Speed Insights
  • Google Mobile Friendly Test
  • Google Structured Data Testing Tool
  • Google Structured Data Markup Tool

** Thanks to WSI World for this articles inspiration and great list of tools in their article, “SEO Advice Straight From Google”, by Andre Savoie

Use these wisely and regularly to monitor, test and improve your website. Once the basics are all in place, develop an SEO action plan that will help you excel in the digital world. Incorporate things such as content creation, social media marketing, display and pay per click advertising into this plan. You’ll find that once you get all your soldiers in place, the digital battle is not so scary, after all!
