Struggling to gain new business online? Your website could be the cause of your problems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The worst thing you can do with your website is to set and forget. Your site should be regularly updated to ensure it features prominently in search engine rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you fail to refresh your website, your business risks getting lost online, with visibility in search engines like Google likely to decline as algorithms are updated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Fortunately, there is something you can do about it: an SEO audit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Conducting an SEO (search engine optimisation) audit of your website at least once a year will ensure your online platform has the right keywords in place to attract web users.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An SEO audit looks at your web presence and checks if your website pages feature the right words. If you have a low ranking, you won\u2019t be as visible on Google search, meaning customers are more likely to overlook you. Even worse, your rivals could leapfrog you and have a better ranking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Subscription-based online tools, such as Semrush and SEOptimer, can help you conduct a DIY audit, but they can be tricky to navigate for novices. Alternatively, you can outsource your audit to specialist agencies, such as Kiwi companies CreativeQ, or Awaywithwords, who take care of the whole process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you know how well your website\u2019s doing?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class=\"wp-image-2746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bdsaccountants.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CCH_Accelerate_Blog-Images_August-2024_C-1024x424.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One great thing about websites is that they track a wealth of valuable business data.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Using Google Analytics, you can find out:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Where traffic flows to your site<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>The most popular pages<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Time spent on each page<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Traffic at different times of the year.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re not the most tech-savvy, seek expert advice for a full overview of your website\u2019s performance and how it can be improved.
