Whilst this section only touches on a number of search engine optimisation markers, it is designed to help you start an SEO conversation with your web developer and/or your digital team.
Moz.com has worldwide authority when it comes to search engine optimisation (SEO). The team at Moz.com have developed a free tool called MozBar which is available as an extension for Google Chrome that makes getting link metrics and doing SEO on the go a breeze. As you browse through different pages on your website, MozBar displays on-page metrics important to SEO, such as the contents of a webpage’s title tag, alt text, meta robots, and so on, as well as insights into a webpage’s and domain’s link profile, such as Domain Authority or the number of backlinks.
Watch the video above for a demonstration on how to install and use the MozBar extension and then use Moz.com’s excellent Beginner’s Guide to SEO to learn more about what your results mean and how to improve them.
