10 Tips to Freshen Up Your Web Presence

If you have staff photos, consider taking current ones. Update your social media cover photos to spruce up each social media platform. When choosing images, make sure they are high-quality photos so they represent your brand well.

This tip is for your website. Use tools like Google Analytics and other data services to check in with your traffic. See what keywords are doing well, what searches are popular, and how your pages are performing. Edit your metadata and your website content accordingly.

5. Flip through your pages.

Like proofreading a paper for school or re-reading an email before sending it, you’ll want to look through all the pages on your website to check for errors. One of the main things to look out for is broken links. Click on every clickable button or link that you can find and make sure they lead to where they’re supposed to go. This can be a bit tedious, but will ultimately improve your site visitors’ experiences immensely.

7. Investigate your content.

Study up on what content you’ve been posting. Check to see what’s performing well and what isn’t. Checking engagement on social media channels allows you to see what your audience likes. When you find out what they like and engage with, do more of that! For your next social media schedule — keep the engaging posts coming. Your audience will appreciate it.

8. Grow your connections.

Growing your professional community improves your web credibility. Follow and interact with others in your industry and field. Connecting to others adds to the trustworthiness of your brand on social media channels and on your website.
