The Most Important Factors That Google Looks At On Your Website

First things first, online marketers forget there exists a mobile friendly crowd. Mobile users account for 18 billion globally. Mobile devices have replaced desktops and laptops recently. It is clear the trend of mobiles will only increase as technology advances well into the 21st century. Your website should be completely mobile friendly, and if not the time is NOW. This is the golden rule.

You need to ask yourself a question. What are search engines looking for? The goal of search engines is to direct users to websites filled with useful and authentic content. Websites that offer relevancy and accuracy. How is this determined? The relevance of content is determined by the title tag, text on page, description and theme. The speed of your site? How fast it is. If the site is authoritative. If it is recognizable enough to link to other authoritative sites, does it produce natural backlinks? And does it ensure a great user experience? Is the site easy to navigate? Does it have a high bounce rate?

Search engines will overlook websites that have keyword stuffing, purchased links and a poor user experience. So keep this in-mind with your website and don’t over-look this crucial points.
