Who you gonna call when your website goes down? Uptown Studios!
Our web development team is here to manage your website and keep it growing and up to date. We are here to jump in when you are hitting the wall – we are an email or call away – tina@uptownstudios.net or call 916-446-1082
Here are a few things that you can take a look at to see how your site is operating – some free tools:
1. Go to https://www.woorank.com and get a free site assessment for your search engine optimization. This is some great information – a bit technical but descriptions in words that are easy to understand. If your score is below 60 points out of 100 that will indicate that your site is not showing up on page one or two during a Google search – so pay attention. Google is the number one force to drive viewers to your site. Once you get your report if you are stuck, send the Uptown Studios team a note and we will help you troubleshoot your issues.
2. Set up a web management contract with Uptown Studios and we will be there to post all of your changes, update your plugins, review your user experience and monitor and improve your search engine optimization.
3. Generate a free sitemap here: https://www.xml-sitemaps.com
This site map will tell you how many pages your site is managing – if you have had the site for a few years you can probably count on it needing to be on a diet. The site map will show you pages that you probably can see are out of date and will speed up your site performance.
4. Improve your page speed here: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/rules
The faster your site loads the happier your visitor experience will be and the longer they will stay. A site that loads slowly will make people click off – you have 3-5 seconds then they are out! So review your site and make sure you are compressing, caching, and optimizing images.
Uptown Studios is here if this is overwhelming – it’s what we do every day!
