• Search engines can recognize and read what your
  • website is all about
  • Readers are tempted to click on your URL in search engine result pages.You must add keywords to your Meta description to do the first one.


These keywords are used in the text for:

  • Marketing
  • Sales
  • Customer services

This makes it simple for search engines to find out what you do.

To increase your click-through rates, the second thing you should do is make your Meta description more appealing to humans. After the search engine robots have completed their task, you will need to add good copy.

Copy is persuasive writing. It is used to get the reader to do something. The reader should click on your URL to go to your website.

It tells people what you have to offer. The Meta description explains what people can expect from you.

3. Optimize Your Images

Next, optimize your images. Make sure to name banners and logos correctly. Alt tags should be used with the goal of telling search engines who they are.

Machines can't "see" images. They can only read the labels that were applied to the images. You must label your images appropriately according to the keywords that you are trying to find.

Your logo should be the same. Label it with keywords relevant to your niche and your brand name.

These are some ways to optimize your homepage images:

  • Set ALT text (or tags) that describe your image with keywords
  • Separate text from an image containing text.
  • Text on an image should be avoided as much as possible

Machines cannot read text in images. This can be problematic especially if you are trying to optimize your SEO strategy. These are examples of brands that use Midnight Brew as their brand name:

  • Midnight Brew Coffee Recipes

Read the entire training. Page loading for one's home page is critical.

My home page is quite simple, with one small logo image repeating twice. I have another image used once. It is also a small image.

Then, I have a divider image which is quite small repeating 27 times.

All images are .png images and should not load slowly.

I clean my the caches of my various browsers frequently, and it appears my home page loads quickly, both on mobile devices and on my laptop.

Google has given me a 98 rating for my .com site on a desktop device, but only a 54 rating on a mobile device.

I have been through this before and discovered the only fix i could come up with would be the same information on a .net domain for mobile use.

Twice the work, but I get good loading time on a mobile device for the .net domain, which came in at 82. That is not far from their best rating bracket of 90 - 100

Conclusion: I am happy with the Google analysis for the .com domain, which I hope most visitors will view and use on a desktop or laptop. And I am also content with the Google analysis for the .net domain, which I hope most visitors will view and use on a mobile device.

Time will tell. Thanks for the insights.
