Your Website Should Never Be Done

How a “Living Website” Helps you Rank on Google

So you spent a fair amount of money to get a great website. It’s got all the pages, it’s interactive, it’s beautiful. Maybe even perfect! Now you can move on from this silly website stuff because it’s completely done, right?

Wrong.

If you want your website to keep giving you traffic and conversions and new customers, you need to keep your website alive.

It’s a BIG misconception that once you get your website “perfect”, it’s done. It’s never done, not if you want to rank well on Google.

Updating your business website with regular, new content and pages is vital for convincing Google to place your site higher in search results. Matthew explains why AND provides many great examples for service companies.

Your website should never be done. People want to wait until they go live with a new website until it’s done… it should never be done. It should be a living thing. It should be part of your business with your milestones, your celebrations, when you start carrying new brands, etc.

The Importance of Regular Web Updates

There’s no doubt you’re going to be richly rewarded if your company website is a living part of your business.

By doing this, you are literally handing Google exactly what they want.

You’re reinforcing over and over and over, that you are an HVAC company in this city. You are doing that with regularly updating your site with information and posts about highlights such as a company party at a local place, an anniversary, a community event you sponsored, an HVAC system you donated to a good cause, etc.

When you’re doing that over and over and over, especially when your competitors’ websites have been the same for several years, that’s a that’s a huge advantage.

The more often and the more clearly you can help google see who you are, where you are, and what you do… THE MORE YOU WIN.
