Submit Your Site for Indexing: No matter what platform you have used to build your website, whether it be WordPress, Square Space, or Wix, it is important that you register your site on Google Console to ensure that it is indexing.

This is a great local SEO benefit if you have a physical presence. Once you activate your Google Business profile, you can then post regular updates, add relevant contact information including business hours and encourage customers to leave reviews. Customer reviews can increase the click through rate on your website, and something that can have a positive impact on your search results. 
3. Target Keywords: It’s important to ensure that your website is targeting a specific topic, while also incorporating high volume and relevant keywords and adding those keywords to the copy on your page, including in your meta descriptions, tags and the titles of your pages. MOZ is a great tool that we use to help increase traffic, rankings and visibility in search results.
