Why your website’s technical health should be a businesswide priority in 2023
Studies have shown that, for most industries, organic search drives more website traffic than paid search ads, paid display ads, email marketing, or social media. Your website’s technical health plays a major role in how it ranks in search engine results pages — but that’s not all. Technical elements of your site, such as page speed and Core Web Vitals, also influence your customers’ experience, satisfaction, and likeliness to buy.
Optimizing your brand’s website means opening up more opportunities for brand awareness, great customer experiences, conversions, and business growth.
