Gutenberg Websites: The Future of WordPress Editing

OMA Comp Gutenberg websites

Named for the man who sparked the Printing Revolution, this new WordPress editor is poised to change the way we use the platform. It replaces the old editor to help streamline the process.

The Benefits of the Gutenberg Editor

Gutenberg adheres to Googles new standards which makes it better optimized than some other platforms. It is also a user-friendly design. It’s much easier for newcomers or inexperienced users to make changes to their site.

Gutenberg also reduces the risk of plugin issues. The use of blocks means that some plugins will no longer be needed, further simplifying WordPress page creation.

Getting Started with WordPress and Gutenberg

OMA Comp is available to help you transition to Gutenberg and get the most out of this major WordPress update. Contact us today to learn more.

Search engine optimization continues to evolve. Search engines find more ways to deliver the results users want. In the meantime, businesses have to learn to adapt quickly to an ever-changing virtual environment. Make sure your company is SEO-ready for 2019 by implementing the following rules.

The Featured Snippet Matters

SEMrush reported that the Featured Snippet claims 11.3% of search results. It also manages to take clicks away from the top spot. This is a tool that should not be overlooked in 2019. You need to find the keywords you rank for as well as those that have a Featured Snippet. Then, you should create a short 40 to 60-word paragraph of text designed to rank for the Featured Snippet keyword.

You Must Optimize for Voice Search

Voice search is a big deal in the SEO world, and it keeps getting bigger. Using effective keywords and earning a Featured Snippet are a good start. Also, make sure your content provides a question and answers it. When people use voice search, Google usually seeks out pages with a related question and answer.

Content and Links Still Matter

Content and links still matter. You need great content and link building if you want to rise in the search page ranks. You must earn a place on the first page before you can get optimum benefit from Voice Search and other tools.

Mobile First Indexing – What That Means for Your Website

OMA Comp Mobile First Website Indexing

There is no denying the power of the mobile platform. These handheld devices have worked their way into our everyday lives. Many people access the web entirely or primarily from a smartphone. There were approximately 3.7 billion unique users in the global mobile population as of January 2018. That’s a huge potential audience for any business.

What Is Mobile First Indexing?

Mobile first indexing is a shift away from web content designed for desktops and a move toward content that’s made for mobile. The term refers to changes to Google’s algorithm that began rolling out earlier in 2018. The update means that Google uses the mobile version of websites for ranking and indexing instead of the desktop version.

What Does This Mean for My Website?

If your website utilizes a responsive design, then you will likely not see any significant changes. The problem is with websites that have more content on their desktop version. Any content that helped with SEO may be skipped if it doesn’t appear on the mobile site. Your pages could rank lower if you fall into that category.

What Can I Do to Prepare My Site for Mobile First Indexing?

Make sure at minimum you have a mobile-friendly design in use. It is best to have a site that is mobile first for best practices to adhere to the Google algorithm. Also, check your pages and make sure you are serving the same content on mobile as you do on your desktop version. Your site should load quickly and be optimized for performance as well. Contact OMA Comp to learn more about prepping your business website for mobile first indexing.
