A “crawl” will also be able to tell you if there are any issues Google finds on your page. • Add photos to break up some of the web copy to make the webpage more appealing to the eye. Also we can use “Alt attributes” in photos as an added on-page SEO strategy to help improve rankings • Effectively producing content for Firm’s blog will give reader more insightful information and Porter & Strange can be seen as a resource.
