SME TIPS
WE are halfway through the year and the SEO engine is still running at full steam.
While SEO may be going strong, the organic search landscape has changed considerably in the past couple of years and tactics which worked well in 2012 and 2013 could land you in hot water in 2015.
There are still some strong foundational elements which remain true and are worth revisiting, along with some new things to bear in mind when it comes to winning in modern SEO.
This week, Dawn Anderson from Move It Marketing gives her top things to do in your campaigns. ●● Do implement strong information architecture into your site structure
The usability of a website is one of Google’s priorities, so it should be yours.

Meta-descriptions have no bearing on rankings, but as the extra piece of information that shows up under links in search results, they act as a call to action for prospective visitors. ●● Do write great content
