Here are 5 tips to help you customize and optimize your website’s visibility through SEO: 1. Choose strong keywords: the phrase(s) and words your prospective clients/users would use to search for you not knowing your company name in advance. Use a keyword tool to help you. Keyword example: “candy shop in Napoli” or “passive search engine”. Be sure to lace your keyword in your home page title and include it in your homepage description. 2. Create a Google Analytics account and place their tracking code on every page of your website. This is very easy to do in WordPress and most Content Management Systems (CMS).

Use email addresses from your domain (Emily.whitehead@buzzoole.com) for all your business communications instead of using a web mail service like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. Why promote their domain when you can promote yours? 4. Enable “Pretty Permalinks”. If you are using a Content Management System (CMS) Pretty Permalinks include keywords in your webpages URLs, very important for SEO. 5. Test your home page load speed and optimize it to load quickly.
