Understand Your Website's Readability

Last month we highlighted a spelling and grammar tool called Grammarly that can greatly improve your writing. Next, you should consider the readability of your blog or website and how you write for your audience.

To assess the readability of your copy try using the Hemingway Editor. This tool offers an accurate assessment of your writing across several different criteria. Now you'll know if you're really writing to your audience.

Faster Images For Your Website

Large images on your website can increase the amount of time it takes for your website to load. Improving your load time is important, especially for your mobile visitors that have limited bandwidth.

WP Smush is a Wordpress plugin that compresses images using a very easy to use interface. WP Smush performs "lossless" compression which means the quality of the image doesn't decrease but the file size does. If you've got a Wordpress website then Mike Grossman Consulting can get you started with the WP Smush plugin.

Local SEO is a term used when local businesses leverage online directories and listings that cater to local customers. Google provides businesses with a free local listing through it's Google My Business service. Business owners can add information including photos, a map of their location, hours and more.
