Recommendations & Action Plan
Prioritized actions to improve SEO performance
On-Page SEO Recommendations
1. Optimize Meta Description
Replace the generic meta description with a compelling, keyword-rich summary for each page. This should accurately reflect the page content and encourage clicks from search results.
2. Improve Image Alt Text
Add descriptive alt text to all images, incorporating relevant keywords where appropriate. This improves accessibility and provides SEO value.
3. Content Expansion
Consider expanding on existing content or adding new, in-depth articles related to leadership, consulting, and auditing. This can help establish greater authority and target a wider range of keywords.
Technical SEO Recommendations
1. Improve Page Speed (Critical)
This is the most pressing issue. Focus on:
- Server Response Time: Investigate and optimize server performance to reduce document request latency.
- Font Optimization: Implement
font-display: swapand consider font metric overrides to ensure text is visible during font loading. - Eliminate Render-Blocking Resources: Defer or inline critical CSS and JavaScript to improve initial page render.
- Modern JavaScript: Review and remove legacy JavaScript polyfills that are not necessary for modern browsers.
- Image Optimization: Compress images, use appropriate sizing, and consider next-gen formats (e.g., WebP) to reduce file sizes.
- Browser Caching: Implement efficient cache policies for static assets to reduce load times for returning visitors.
- Reduce DOM Size: Optimize the HTML structure to reduce the complexity of the Document Object Model.
- Minimize Third-Party Impact: Evaluate the necessity of all third-party scripts and consider alternatives or asynchronous loading to reduce their impact on performance.
2. Structured Data Implementation
Implement Schema.org markup (e.g., Organization, Service, or Local Business schema) to provide search engines with more context about the website and its services. This can lead to rich snippets in search results.
3. Canonical Tag Review
While a canonical tag is present, ensure that https://millennial-c.com/Home-Services/ is indeed the intended canonical URL for the homepage to avoid any potential duplicate content issues.
