To fully understand how SEO can help grow your business, it's essential to first get a basic understanding of how search engines have impacted how we use the interet. According to StatCounter, 92% of search is done through Google. This number has been like this for a long time and surprisingly, experts predict it will stay this way for the foreseeable future! Couple that with the fact that over 92% of online experiences start with a search, it doesn't take a genius to see how important SEO is. But wait, there's more! Turns out 75% of searchers never scroll past the first page of search results. This means there's a world of difference when it comes to whether you rank on the first page or not. It's scary, we know!

For those of you who are not quite familiar with SEO, you came to the right place. Many of you might have seen the abbreviation, "SEO" without an understanding of what exactly it is or what it means. Well, here's the ultimate cheat sheet.

SEO stands for "search engine optimization."  Ok, but what exactly does this mean, you say?

This is done by creating or modifying a website to implement modern SEO standards and best practices including:

How do you write high quality content that is SEO friendly? Some people might think it's impossible. To begin with, writing can be time consuming and blending that with SEO can seem like an uphill battle, but it doesn't have to be.

In this post, I’ll explain four important SEO blog tips you should implement in your writing strategy.

You have a website for your restaurant where your customers can see your menu, hours of operation and how your restaurant started. You receive regular traffic on the site and have seen a boost in your bottom line. But is your website doing all it can for your business? Are you attracting everyone you can? If you don’t have a responsive website that works for mobile visitors, the answer is no.

Looking into getting a website but not sure if you're ready for the commitment of hiring several (and very expensive!) professionals like web developers, graphic designers and the like that could cost you tons of money? Look no further than website builders!

In this article, we will take a quick look at the pros and cons of what are regarded by most as the best website builders currently out there and how you can choose what's best for you.

Responsive web design is no longer a luxury that only big corporations can afford… It is a technology that is reachable for any business and that is not considered as optional for your online presence. This has been true years ago and it's definitely more true today!

New websites built today are now responsive by default. If a website today is not responsive, they will suffer tremendously negative effects such as: poor rankings in SERPs, high bounce rates from users and wasted costs.

If there's one thing all of us have in common, it's the love for good food. Everyone has their own favorites and preferences. But when someone wants to taste something new or different, the first thing they'll probably do is search online. This is where a restaurant's online presence comes in and a big part of that is its website.

Unfortunately, many of the websites in the restaurant industry today still are either bland or simply unattractive. Some websites shove too much information down the visitor's throat, much like a dish with too much garnish where the main feature is lost or an overwhelmingly strong flavor that changes a diner's facial expression on the fly; it's simply deterring. Others are just obviously outdated in terms of content or design or just simply grotesque in appearance, like ordering fresh calamari and being served canned, frozen and reheated ones... and from last week too. Ouch!

You just launched a new website and everything seems great! However, no one is visiting and it's starting to feel like a negative investment. What could be the cause, you wonder?

These days, not having a website for your business is lost business. But is it really that simple? One of the most common misconceptions that website owners have is that once their website is up and running, traffic will come in like moths to a flame and revenue will start flowing. This is simply not the case!

A new website on the internet is like a new kid in school. No one trusts him yet. It will take him time to build trust, get friends and eventually blend in.

However, if you think it's been too long since you launched and you're still not getting any traffic, then you may want to start looking into it.

There are many factors that can affect how, or even if, your website receives traffic. These issues can occur throughout the website's life cycle-- from before it was built to after it's been launched.

With the ever-changing landscape of web design and development comes a need for web developers and designers alike to always be in the loop and up-to-date with modern website trends and practices. Luckily, tons of free tools are available to aid with this daunting task.

The tools listed below are made by dedicated contributors of the web development community: from a small group of enthusiasts to internet giants like Google. Sounds great, right? This ensures that the tools are well made, regularly maintained and frequently updated. With  many alternatives out there trying to accomplish the same tasks, these qualities are a must, lest the tool lags behind its competitors and be forgotten.

Without further ado, here's our list of the top 10 free essential web development tools. Note: we might also provide alternatives that could be used on their own or in tandem with the specific tool mentioned.

One thing that has remained a metric for a considerable amount of time in SEO is web traffic. It is also how SERPs are calculated, which means that if you have a large amount of traffic to your site, you will see your ranking increase automatically.
