I. Create Content

Every web page has the potential to rank well in search engines and draw traffic from other sources, like social media sites and the blogosphere. Of course, whether a page draws traffic (and links) depends on whether it's optimized and how remarkable (useful, interesting, etc.) it is. But in general, most pages do "ok" and contribute to the cause, so it's both a quality and a quantity game.

Font Tags Found in HTML.

We found some HTML <font> font tags on this page. While this is not a critical issue, you should use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to separate your website's content from its appearance.

B. Heading Summary

Similar to how newspapers and magazines use headings and sub-headings to help readers, websites can use special tags in their HTML. These tags not only help human readers read the content, they also help search engine spiders better understand the content on a page and what is most important. It is generally a good idea to use heading tags to help signal to the search engines, what the web page is about.

Total headings found: 2. See details.
More than one H1 tag found.

More than one primary heading tags (2 H1 tags found) have been found on the page. This is not a critical issue, but we suggest having a single primary heading per page.

C. Image Summary

Images are a great way to enhance a website from a user's perspective. However, it is important to note that search engine crawlers cannot really "see" images. So, if you have lots of images that contain textual content within the image itself, this content will not be seen by the crawlers.

HTML helps address this issue by providing a way to specify the textual content for an image using the "alt" attribute. The alt attribute allows web pages to assign specific text as the "alternative" content for images for those that cannot view the images themselves. This can be search engine crawlers or text-only web browsers.

Total images found: 8 , 5 image(s) don't have ALT text. .See details.
D. Interior Page Analysis : 3 Pages Processed

IV. Convert

Getting found sure is fun. You're writing articles and producing videos (creating remarkable content), you're an SEO ninja by now (Optimize), and you're using all the social media sites and running email and ppc campaigns (Promote). At the end of the day, however, we aren't in this for fun. We're also not in this for traffic. The goal is quality sales leads and customers, so let's focus now on converting as much of your traffic as possible to leads and customers.

A. RSS Feed : Not Found

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a standard way to easily deliver content to visitors after they've left your website but they're still interested in your subject. RSS is commonly used with blogs, news feeds, and other formatted news or other sources of information.

RSS is an industry standard syndication approach that allows users to 'subscribe' to your blog so that they are automatically notified when new content is posted. There are a variety of free RSS applications available that let site visitors subscribe and consume content.

Though it is possible this site has RSS elsewhere on the site, it is best to make the feed discoverable on the home page itself.

B. Conversion Form : Not Found

Conversion forms are the primary way to get leads from your website. Collect contact information from your visitors so that you can follow up with them later and be in touch. Without forms, you can't convert your website traffic into customers.

The web page does not seem to contain any type of signup form where visitors can subscribe to a newsletter or future updates.

We would suggest adding some type of simple subscription form (at a minimum) that allows users to get email updates. This is a great way for visitors to express their interest in the company and its offering and for the business to stay in touch. Though RSS usage continues to increase, email is still what a majority of site visitors know and understand.
