Technical SEO, Website Health, and Emergency WordPress Support Services Available To Clients in Arlington Virginia

It goes without saying that websites that suffer from unpredictable performance will be turning visitors away by potentially large numbers. If the site in question is revenue-generating this can put the entire business at risk.

Consider also that unstable WordPress websites may eventually stop working altogether, requiring you or someone in your business to either fix the problem immediately or purchase costly emergency WordPress support from a third party. Expect this to be expensive: We’re talking about finding, interviewing, and hiring one or more Technical SEO Consultants, WordPress specialists, or Software Engineers with WordPress experience to deal with an emergency on short notice. Restoring website backups may be the equivalent of insurance and it may work, if the backups have been enabled and they’re not too old — however if the website has been falling apart for some time, even something as critical as restoring a backup may not be as easy as it sounds.

A healthy WordPress website doesn’t guarantee that emergency WordPress support will never be required however it certainly lowers the chance of this happening.

Let’s take a look at how Technical SEO impacts Website Performance, Web Design and Web Structure, as well as how Technical SEO impacts Social Media.

Technical SEO and Website Performance

Responsive business websites don’t keep customers waiting for product search results and placing orders. Responsive websites deliver that information quickly to the visitor and get orders processed quickly.

Responsive websites also don’t keep search engines such as Google and Bing waiting to crawl a website. Crawl budgets are unlikely to be exceeded by small websites however this can happen with large websites, thus requiring immediate remediation.

Technical SEO, Web Design, and Website Structure

So you have a responsive website, as we mentioned a moment ago, this is great! Technical SEO also means, however, that the website structure is properly defined such that when it’s crawled the search engines can process it properly. This is achieved by using tools such as the SEMrush site audit service and performing a site audit and fixing errors, warnings, and where appropriate any notices that are discovered.

What Are The Top Five Benefits Of Proper WordPress Web Design?

The question “What Are The Top Five Benefits Of Proper WordPress Web Design?” is summarized with help from ChatGPT below: 🤖

  1. Increased User Experience: A well-designed WordPress website will provide a seamless user experience, making it easier for visitors to navigate, find what they are looking for, and engage with the content.
  2. Improved SEO: A well-designed WordPress website will be optimized for search engines, making it easier for potential customers to find your business through search results. This can lead to increased traffic and more conversions.

  5. Increased Conversion Rates: A well-designed WordPress website can lead to increased conversion rates, as users are more likely to take action when they have a positive experience on your site. This can result in more leads, sales, and revenue for your business. 🤖

Technical SEO and Social Media

Technical SEO extends beyond the website and becomes especially important when, for example, visitors are sharing links on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. But it doesn’t stop there. Applications such as Skype and WhatsApp also parse Open Graph meta tags included with the link and present a rendered result to the user. If your website is missing this information or if the Open Graph meta tags are wrong, this could result in a missed opportunity when the link is rendered in its rawest form.

A Technical SEO Audit Is The First Step Toward Addressing These Problems

This happens all too frequently, even with technology companies that have technical expertise on-hand to deal with problems such as website management. Someone has to keep the business website up-to-date however the WordPress Content Management System (WordPress CMS), while powerful, is more complicated than may appear at first glance — and this becomes especially apparent when investing in Digital Marketing Campaigns designed to win new customers for your business.

Some time ago I started keeping track of some of the more interesting articles I’ve read as it pertains to Technical SEO on my GitHub Awesome Search Engine Optimization Page. Fast-forward to the present day and this one page has 86 stars and a long and growing list of Technical SEO – focused tools, strategies, and other ideas all around this one subject matter. Technical SEO dovetails nicely with software engineering and topics like site reliability however it’s a niche area that requires niche expertise. Technical SEO also requires specialized Technical SEO Audit Software and there are many open-source tools to help with this as well as subscription-based software such as SEMrush, which gives excellent insight into problems, advice regarding how to fix those issues, along with reporting functionality to help track the site health score as changes are implemented.

The question “What Are The Top Five Benefits Of Technical SEO?” is summarized with help from ChatGPT below: 🤖

  1. Improved User Experience: Technical SEO ensures that websites are optimized for speed, navigation, and accessibility, resulting in a better user experience and increased satisfaction.
  2. Increased Visibility: Technical SEO improves a website’s ranking and visibility on search engine results pages (SERPs), driving more organic traffic and leads to a website.
  3. Better Mobile Optimization: Technical SEO helps ensure that websites are optimized for mobile and tablet devices, improving the mobile experience and hence increasing the chances of appearing in mobile search results.
