Why we just built our new website
It’s not a new version but a brand new website.
It’s not a new version but a brand new website. Over twenty years of consulting and recruiting Financial Planners in Australia we’re now onto our third website.
So why did we update?
Technology changes are rapid and in conjunction with our marketing arm Phone First Digital Marketing we realise the importance of staying up to date.
What does this mean this mean in practical terms
Let’s focus on mobile phones to start:
- Mobile Phones now account for over 70% of internet searches in Australia, so websites need to be mobile optimised
- Phones are more powerful than most conventional computers (mobile phones are computers) so compatibility is more important than ever
- Phone computing power requires high impact fast loading rendered and optimised images and websites
- Phones have integrated mapping, tap to call and tap to contact capabilities
- Phones have integrated App sharing functionality to rapidly share data, think how quickly you can use messaging, email, facebook, linked, whatsapp or Instagram and many more to share information.
If you haven’t picked it up yet, it’s all about the phone really! That’s why are marketing team Phone First Digital Marketing design all websites and social media for phones first and then work backwards.
Now consider what Google is all about
- Google loves regularly updated content – not static webpages
- Google favours long tail search with updated (2019) content – not something from 2015
- Google wants images refreshed and updated complete with ALT TAB Descriptions
- Google rates your phone optimisation – more than 3 seconds to mobile and you get penalised!
- Google rewards interconnected and back-linked content with good blogs
- Google dominates the internet and who gets traffic
