Recently a prospective client asked me for some help getting his site up onto search engines. Even when people searched for his name and his website specifically, they couldn’t find him. Last time I checked, this site was number one in Google for Purple Ivy, though I’d not expect anyone looking for web consulting to search for that, at least if they know what they are looking for and type into the search bar instead of the URL bar they will find me!
Even so, there are some basic steps you should take to make yourself even remotely findable.
