Mobile first-index

Mobile indexing is now one of the important aspects which will lead to rankings enhancements. The website that have mobile version will for surely get an edge over rankings and traffic as well.

Try to get rid of Pop ups for mobile or if possible remove them from the header section, or push them to the bottom.

Quality Content and Internal-linking

Content is the foremost asset for any website these days. Now not only content but Informative and well written content will bring a lot of value to your website.

If you keep all these three things in mind for your content you will never fail in the eyes of various search Engines.  Get some experts to write the content. Keep highest authority and trust for users. Don’t try to misguide Google by getting eye-catchy content.

“If you confuse Google, You will lose your way”

Once you have the content proper internal linking needs to be done. Each of website pages should be internally linked with most relevant pages. This not only helps in getting traffic and higher rankings but also keeps the users/visitors on the website for a longer period of time which for sure decreases the “Bounce Rate”.
