Google’s Mobile-first Indexing is Here

After a year and a half of testing, Google has finally started migrating websites over to mobile-first indexing. Yes, friends, it is here. But don't panic. The sky is not falling and search will go on. So what is mobile-first indexing? In Google's latest release they define it as the following: To recap, our crawling, indexing, and ranking systems have typically used the desktop version of a page's content, which may cause issues for mobile searchers when that version is vastly different ...

The Ultimate Website Redesign SEO Checklist

This week I had a call with a small business owner who is launching a website redesign in WordPress.

A Week of SEO Blunders

SEO blunders can happen to even the most well intentioned companies. This last week I encountered two cases of multiple SEO mistakes that happened to companies I know well. Seeing it happen to people I like is hard. Having a Come to Jesus SEO moment with people I'm professionally and emotionally invested in is even harder for me. It isn't something I enjoy, but it is a necessary part of my job. I'd like to turn this last week into a learning lesson for the readers of our blog. Don't think ... Read More

Technical SEO for WordPress: What Webmasters Need to Know

Basics of Technical SEO Technical SEO can sound really intimidating. But don’t worry, because it doesn’t have to be scary at all! Technical SEO simply refers to “things” that are related to code, settings, and servers. It includes things you can see and things you can’t see. Today I'm going to primarily focus on those items you can discover and fix, which means you can "see" them online. What I like about technical SEO is it focuses on discovering issues and fixing these problems. All ... Read More

As a follow up to that post, I recently visited WP Tavern's WordPress Weekly podcast and chatted with Jeff Chandler and Marcus Couch. We discuss a number of topics surrounding SEO including what’s changed in the past five years, the purpose of SEO plugins, common misconceptions about search engine optimization, and the amount of effort involved in obtaining real, long-term results. As Jeff stated, I was on fire and ... Read More

Perfecting WordPress Multisite SEO

A few weeks ago I had someone tweet me while I was at WordCamp Ann Arbor. The gentleman wanted to chat about WordPress multisite SEO and was hoping I was still at the venue so I could answer some questions he had about his university website. This week another gentlemen messaged me on Quora asking the very same questions. It appears WordPress users are fearful of multisite and the implications it has on SEO. Fear not my friends! WordPress multisite SEO isn’t that different then regular ... Read More
