Did you know that many search engines check to see when you last updated your site and use that as a gauge as to whether your site is up to date and relevant - the logic here is that a site that has been update in the last month is going to be more relevant that a site that has not been updated for over a year.

Whether that’s telling customers and suppliers about big orders you’ve won, any new products or ranges you have, or how your company will be affected by a recent news story or if you’re doing really well any awards you’ve won or are nominated for.

Just by displaying and featuring a new product or adding to a range you could find that this is the first time someone has realised you actually sell that product or service.

It is important also to have your keywords included in your copy on the page but a warning to the wise don’t make this too obvious as it may not read well.
