How often should I update my website?

Once you have set up a website for your company, it’s important that you don’t just sit back and let it tick over. To ensure that you maintain interest in your site by customers and the search engines you’ll need to add new content regularly.

It is recommended that you try to update content on a weekly basis especially to advise of upcoming events, new products and promotional deals.

Without these updates websites become stale and clients can get frustrated that they can’t access the up-to-date information that they need.

There is also website optimisation to consider, in that search engines favour websites that are regularly updated with relevant content and often ignores those sites that aren’t updated so it’s essential to make your website visible to customers.

An easy way to add relevant updates and news to your website is to have a Blog area where you can post about things you want to pass on to your customers on a weekly basis, like a newspaper column for your customers to read promoting certain aspects of your company.
