Your clients want the best results with minimal investment. Convincing them that a website redesign will boost their SEO strategy might be tough. However, attempting a redesign without considering SEO will lead to bigger challenges down the line.
First, explain the consequences of not factoring SEO into a website redesign. Show how a redesign can comprehensively enhance SEO strategy. Redesign is crucial and should be part of your client's budget.
Without considering SEO, creating effective content is nearly impossible. If you create content without SEO in mind, you might need to rework it all when you start implementing your SEO strategy. This is mainly due to two reasons.
Firstly, you might be unsure which keywords you want to rank for. If your content doesn't include the right keywords, it's hard to naturally integrate them later. Secondly, you might not know your target audience. Content created for the wrong audience is ineffective and needs replacement.
Technical errors could mean a website migration is needed in the near future. This wastes a lot of time. Considering the technical aspects of SEO now will help you decide:
"We need to stop interrupting what people are interested in and be what people are interested in."
All the above scenarios assume the client is willing to create a website in the first place. Some clients might think they can forgo a website entirely. However, businesses cannot grow without a web presence.
You need to explain why having an SEO-optimized website is crucial for online discovery. Sure, businesses can find customers through other means like social media, but these methods are slower. Plus, users still expect businesses to have a website – to get more information about products, services, and the brand overall.
