Why Web Hosting and Web Design Matter for Solid Search Engine Optimization Success

Defining your Digital Marketing Goals Should Always be First

Since our very first client, the phrase, “I have a website, now I want to do SEO,” jumped out at us. And still to this day when we meet business owners in our Houston SEO workshops, or we get a call about our the SEO services we can provide, we often find they arrive after they have chosen a web hosting company or paid to have a website designer to build a website.

We learned long ago that these items were not all mutually exclusive, if you goal was to have a website that appeared high on a search engine. When we started our journey, it was websites like Yahoo and Alta Visa, but now Google the most predominant search engine on the planet, with over 85% of all internet searches starting with Google or YouTube.

Sign Up a Web Host – Hire a web designer

For the last 20+ years, these services or verticals, web hosting, web design and SEO were viewed and sold as specialty items. So often, you would find a web designer who had a preferred web host. Or, you purchased web hosting plan and asked the designer to use your existing account. But it was rare to find a service provider that did both, after all these were two different skills sets. Major corporations had it worse because often their IT guy set up the hosting and then made it very difficult for any marketing department to actually build a viable website.

Find an SEO Company

The next step inevitably is to find an SEO company and talk to them about improving your website. In the early days that was easy, a title tag here, some keyword stuffing there. Add a dash of meta keywords and you were off and running. You didn’t really need to depend on your web host or really your designer and keeping it all in one place was a convenient thing rather than an absolute must. Today it’s an absolution must.

Web Design and SEO

Bottom line, how a website is designed has a direct affect on SEO. It wasn’t always that way but it is now and that is all that matters. Sometimes we are lucky enough to get the call before the website is built but more often, we meet someone after they have a running website and are wondering why they are not gaining any traction with it.

Finding a web designer that knows SEO is somewhat difficult really. Many talk about title tags, and keywords and sound smart. But that is where the knowledge stops, unfortunately. In addition, web designer tools also profess to be search engine friendly, but all they really mean is that you can add a title tag. Beyond bloated code, technical seo elements are ignored.

Web Hosting And SEO

Finally Google agrees with us that web hosting has a direct impact on how well your site ranking is. We have long understood this, but with the advent of Core Vitals the need for a service that provide SEO Web Hosting is now more important than ever. You cannot just go with who your design company recommends. And, in most cases industry leading web hosting companies, the names you know, fall wildly short on meeting the Core Vital Standards. Furthermore with them it is cost prohibitive. With us, we need those tools anyway and include. We need that architecture anyway so we build our servers to meet Google’s standards. Every Vertical Web client benefits from us being SEO experts, regardless if you buy SEO services from us.

Web Design and Development
that stands out in the crowd

A solid Web Design solution should create a website that stands out from the crowd, but it also needs to be the backbone of a solid SEO strategy.

Coordinated Web Design and Digital Marketing is a must for a successful web presence, but many web designers do no understand this, and many SEO companies do not care past Google. Whether it is simple WordPress web design or complex custom development, it takes an experienced web design firm to properly execute the project, meet deadlines and maintain brand integrity all while increasing visibility.
