Google always strives to improve the experience of marketers with new tools and best practices, while focusing on improving the user experience.

Consumers search for everything online whether they are looking for specific products, a service to be performed, or a place to eat. This makes a business’s website extremely important as this is often a consumer’s first introduction to a company. It is one thing to create a visually appealing, user-friendly website that contains valuable information, but it is quite another to have your website perform well from an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) standpoint so that users will find and visit your website. High performing websites that are well-optimized and appear high in search engine results pages (SERPs) will attract more traffic and leads which can lead to high conversion rates and an increase in revenue. This makes the SEO performance of your website very important for your bottom line. Even if your website is performing well in the rankings and getting good traffic, you cannot simply let it be.

So as 2020 approaches, it is time to review your website’s strengths and weaknesses, fix all SEO and marketing issues, and build up a new marketing and SEO strategy for the new year. This guide will help you do an SEO...
