If you’re going to create a new website, there’s no excuse to not make it SEO-friendly from the off. Building SEO into your website from the start, rather than a bolt on at the end, is infinitely more effective - both results and cost wise.

There are multiple factors to consider when creating a website, but here’s our quick SEO checklist for you:

• Have you chosen a good niche, to provide a focus to your SEO strategy?
• Have you organised your content in line with your keyword research?
• Is your URL logical, and related to your keyword focus?
• Are the different parts of your websites uniquely optimised for their specific content?
• Is your website going to be designed in HTML - so that search engine spiders can easily crawl it?
• Are all your main page metatags complete, and unique?

Got these sorted? Then you’ve got some great foundations for SEO success. Just make sure you’ve done your keyword research properly before you begin!
