Search engine optimization lost in a huge web site?

Posted by marklame1

Imagine employees creating web pages and not being all too careful about titles, descriptions and keywords.  And, your web site has become huge.  eMetaStar, LLC has a simple solution.  A web site audit.

What encompasses a web site audit?  For starts, we 'scrape' or crawl your web site just as Google, yahoo or Bing would.  Our audit would begin by determining if Google has indexed your page.  Why is that important?  If it's not indexed, Google doesn't know about it.

Each web page is examined for title, description and keywords.  Keywords are not taken into consideration by Google.  But, they might be considered by other search engines.  Description, though debated as whether it determines rank, is necessary because it's below your link on the search page.  The description is a lure which motivates your searcher to choose your link.
