ubermaus   10 #2 Posted January 19, 2015 Keyword density is not an important factor in ranking websites. It used to be pre-penguin days, way back. Algos are much more sophisticated now.  Keyword stuffing can actually hurt your site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Marx   10 #8 Posted January 19, 2015 The site doesn't quite work for me. It looks amateur. There are some excellent templates out there. I think there is too much content spread over too many pages. Get the 17 down to 10 and sharpen-up the content while you are at it. You need a couple of landing pages that will turn up in searches and pull people in to your site. Are your gallery pictures labelled so they will turn-up in image searches? I just see long numbers as file names. Can you install Analytics on Wix or do you have to pay for their version? Analytics will provide invaluable information on who is visiting and what they are doing there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Nickscape   10 #9 Posted January 20, 2015 http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo  Have a good read through this which will help you plan what you need to do next and realise the good things you have already done.  You site is a good start but does need focusing which has been mentioned already, I also think you header is way too big as you have to keep scrolling to find any content. When using WIX it's all about how you can get the best out of the supplied template & features so don't worry about experimenting and seeing what works the best.  Make sure you are publishing regular content on your blog which contains some of the words which you are looking to rank for.

Billed over a million in one year. Campaigns created over 16 million in sales in one year alone. Worked over 150+ sites totalling £500 mil+ in revenue.  Not that bad considering my 'jobbing' status!

Chez2 Â Â 10 #12 Posted January 20, 2015 You need to put an address on your website. What are you trying to hide? Â The tab saying carriers certificate should actually say licence. It looks a bit 'odd' as you have put something on there which isn't actually the paper copy of the licence. Your licence isn't showing as live on the public register, I have just checked various spellings. It may show up if I searched on your postcode as this is a more fool proof way of checking. If your address was on there I could check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
