So you have built your website and are wondering why is my site not showing you on Google? Here are 3 reasons you might not be showing up:
1. Your site is not mobile friendly
Google has started taking in to account weather your site is mobile friendly or not for your Google ranking. There are two main options for making your site mobile friendly, having a second mobile site and making your oringal site responsive. In my opinion resonisve is the way to go. Mostly because you will only have one site to manage and not two. Responsive is great because it will allow your site to be viewed properly on any size screen you are using.
2. Your content isn't original
While it may seem simple to use a template or pre-generated website, they may actually be hurting you. Many of these site come with pre-loaded content, but we all know Google loves new content. Creating your own fresh content will help get the attention of search engine crawlers.
3. Your isn't grabbing user attention
Google does take into account how long users are on your site. On average if the user does not see what they are looking for with in the first 2-3 seconds they are going to move on. While most sites think they have all the correct information at the ready, the reality is that most of the information is little to no interest to your user.
It may seem like you have a lot to do, but trust me once you get your site where it needs to be, you will see the results you are wanting. Being mobile friendly and haveing great content to grab that users attention is what you need to have a working stie; and a working website is what you need to help grow your business.
