1. Amount of Content:
Get your message across without overdoing it on content. We call this the "elevator pitch". A good elevator pitch should last no longer than a short elevator ride of 20 to 30 seconds, hence the name. They should be interesting, memorable, and succinct. They also need to explain what makes you – or your organization, product, or idea – unique.
Most visitors don't read anything other than headings anymore so make sure you leave a lot of white space and make your content clear with good headings.
If you have a lot of content, put it into blogs or additional pages. This will keep visitors from leaving your site due to feeling overwhelmed by content as it allows them to click through the site and read more in a slower manner that is more comfortable for them.
2. Image Alt Attributes:
Make sure that every image you insert has an ALT tag that describes the image to Google bots. This is especially important for every product image if you want your products to rank in Google.
3. Links:
- Number of Backlinks: The number of other websites that contain links to your site.
- On-Page Link Structure: In layman's terms, an internal link is one that points to another page on the same website.
- Broken Links: Broken links are links that don't work. Some of the reasons why links don't work include: A website is no longer available. A webpage was moved without a redirect being added. The URL structure of a website was changed.
- Friendly URLs: A friendly URL is a Web address that is easy to read and includes words that describe the content of the webpage. This type of URL can be "friendly" in two ways. 1) It can help visitors remember the Web address, and 2) it can help describe the page to search engines. User-Friendly URLs
