Thus while designing navigation of your website goes a long way to improving the user experience of a website. With the rapid growth of M-commerce (mobile commerce), it is most important to incorporate responsive design elements to overall structure of your ecommerce store. The goal of responsive design is to craft websites that promote simple navigation and readability over a wide range of mobile devices like iPhones, tablets & smartphones.
Monthly Reporting: Your SEO Company should provide monthly reports including items such as links acquired and their value, keyword rankings, social media mentions, network size and organic search traffic. Have your SEO Company explain the different aspects of the report and their significance.
Backlinks: Make sure that your backlinks offer something useful and are not just spam. Ask your SEO Company to get only the highest quality backlinks for your website. They should be relevant to your subject matter and shoudn’t be just backlink forms. If your content is engaging, other websites get link to your website.
