TIPS:
1. Website Grader is a free online tool from Hubspot. It allows anyone to receive a free, personalized report that grades their site against key metrics, including performance, mobile readiness, SEO and security. It's still in beta and they're calling for feedback on the tool from users.

Along with your grade, Website Grader also gives you a list of recommendations on the issues you should tackle to optimize your site. You can find it here: Website Grader website.grader.com/ (http://website.grader.com/)

2. Tips on local business presence: Make sure you are on Google Map, Bing Map - even if you don't have a website, this is something you can still do. You need to enter the name of your business, address, opening hours, etc. the more information you give, the better your chances of ranking for map results.

3.Use listicles: Listicles are articles written in a list format. Things like "10 Tips to Get Targeted Traffic to Your Website" OR "5 of the Stupidest Things You can Do in an Interview" Though perceived as a cheap method of gaining attention (mostly because it is misused), listicles are actually popular with millenials because the format allows you to consume long format content in digestible chunks. Even though they may not be comprehensive, they create the interest that leads to in-depth reading.
