1. Critical steps of optimizing your website:

  • Messaging comes first. 
  • Copywriting next.
  • Invest in high quality brand photos BEFORE website design.
  • Implement basic SEO setups to ensure visibility.

2. Basic SEO may or may not be included in web designing services. 

  • Much of the SEO comes from the website content. 
  • Often this is submitted by the clients themselves or written by a copywriter.
  • The main goal of websites Samantha creates: present a professional online space.
