Google did a core algorithm update on May 4, 2020.  What does that mean for your and your website?  This podcast covers some basic SEO best practices that you should be doing on your website.  Mistie explains what these are, how they work and why they are important.  The biggest takeaway of this episode is content!!! You'll hear straight from the Google's mouth about their core updates and what they deem important about your content.  This information is important for webmasters as well as small businesses that build and maintain their own websites.  If your website traffic has been affected by the core update, you should be able to troubleshoot and get your traffic going in the right direction by doing some or all of the items covered in this podcast. (However, if your website uses black hat SEO or any tactics that violate Google's webmaster guidelines nothing short of stopping those tactics and starting over can even begin to help you.)  Mistie reads directly from webmasters.googleblog.com's post from August 1, 2019 titled "What webmasters should know about Google's core updates" that expresses how important content is to SEO.  If you have a website from a drag and drop builder, this episode can help you structure your content to be better indexed.  If you are a little more advanced with some knowledge of coding, this episode will explain some backend code you can add to help with indexing.  The information in this podcast will not get your website on the first page and first spot of search engine search results but it will help you to be more strategic about your content and that may help you to get more website traffic. No guarantees!! Just best practices.  As usual, if you have any questions, please leave a message by clicking on the link below or email [email protected] or visit our website at https://rio-llc.com and send a message through FaceBook messenger.  There's lots of way to get in touch and we love helping and answering questions!  Thanks for listening!
