If you run a website as a self-employed person or practice, you can optimize it yourself with a few tips. We will show you how to improve your ranking with skillful content management, the proper navigation structure, and better technical parameters in the following sections. 

However, as a large company with a large website, there are many aspects that you need to consider when optimizing your website to get more leads. 

It is difficult for laypeople to keep track. For this reason, we recommend hiring an expert. Since a visible and optimized website means more relevant traffic and a higher conversion rate, the investment is usually worthwhile after a short time. 

How To Optimize Your Website Yourself 

If your financial resources are limited, you can do a lot on your own. Optimizing the content (texts and images), the navigation structure, and the meta-data already produces noticeable results. If you also improve the structure and thus the user experience in the long term, Google will reward you with a better search engine ranking. 

Optimize Website Texts (Content) 

Not only people but also search engines distinguish valuable content from meaningless texts. Correctly placed keywords with a high search volume and easily legible texts play a major role for Google. At the same time, lively, up-to-date content attracts readers. 

Numerous content marketing tools help with the research and planning of content. The free "Answer the Public" shows, for example, the most frequent Internet queries for a specific keyword.

Chargeable ones like Buzzsumo or Sistrix indicate, among other things, which articles for a particular term are shared most in social networks.
