If you succeed at SEO the rewards are massive, more leads, more sales, more business.

✔️ Using outdated SEO Strategies – Google updates its Algorithms for organic search, what works in 2015 will not necessarily work in 2021

✔️ Poor Hosting…ok, this is a but general but you need your hosting working as good as can can be for loading times and other issues…Try cloud hosting if you do have problems with your host but speak to your Developer first.
✔️ 404 Errors…Bit basic but have you been deleting pages on your website and Google can no longer find them…if so redirect those deleted pages to a relevant page on your website.
✔️ Don’t Invest…You don’t have to go to an SEO Agency or SEO Consultant if you don’t have a the capital BUT you do have to invest time as SEO is a time consuming job.
✔️ Rubbish Backlinks…Have you been buying irrelevant backlinks for £10 or $15? Just don’t…it is not going to help apart from drive your spam score up and Domain Authority down. Instead focus on building healthy relevant backlinks organically via decent content.
