Strengths
We found the Example, inc website to be easy to navigate and does not contain any broken links. The structure of the Example, inc
website is clean and simple allowing web users to find what it is they are looking for. The various service areas are listed directly on
the home page and the overall design of the website makes it very clear that Example, inc is a full service example business that offers
a complete suite of example services. We found it a strength that there is a full contact and example quote form that a user can fill out
online when interested in receiving a quote.
Weaknesses
The website is mostly about your products and service, and is lacking a customer focused content strategy. Customer focused content
strategy can be viewed three ways: (1) Content to educate and inform the ideal customer; (2) Content based on keywords that your
ideal customer is searching for in your target market; and (3) Content based on answering key questions prospects need answered
throughout the buying process. We believe that the Example, inc website carries out the process described in (1) well but, we see and
opportunity to expand on the content strategies stated in (2) and (3). We feel that there may be too many services listed providing each
example service has a dedicated page with limited content. The site would be better organized with 3-5 general core services with a
sub drop-down menu of the specific example services offered. For a business that provides example, we feel that the provided art
work is lacking and, sometimes, too small to view in the proper context. In the case that the web user wanted to see a past work, there
is no option for a clearer view or download an example. We view this website as a template meaning that there is not much change in
the layout, format and design of the website while viewing different pages.
Graphic Design Grade = C -
Content
We feel the verbiage about your services could be more descriptive and be written to answer the questions your prospective clients
could be asking a search engine. However, it does appear that there is a defined set of keywords in dealing with a wide range of
example services.
The website content on the core service pages does not attempt to sell a user in any way by providing pieces of content that can
nurture a lead into a sale, rather than an offering of coupons, we believe there is an opportunity to expand upon the content being
offered to better educate a prospect about what it is you are actually selling and capture their information in the process.
Content Grade = B -
SEO
SEO is how a search engine will read your website and determine your rankings in the search results depending on the search query
done by a web user. One of the number one factors that determine your page ranking is your title tags, or the tab title that appears on
top of your browser. The Example, inc website has very poor title tags that do not define what the page content is about. Every title tag
on the website lists the business name. Many web users search for a service and geography, not a company. Searching for a company
would imply that they already know of your business.
There is also very little activity in adding to the website. There is no blog page, active social media accounts, RSS feeds or landing
pages. In addition, the tools we use show very limited traffic to the website with the majority coming to the website from keywords
that contain the business name. Our local listing tool shows that Example, inc has claimed their listing on Google and some major
directories however, there is and, will always be opportunity to claim more listings. There also seems to be a www. And non-www
domain creating a mirrored website and showing search engines duplicate content.

On- Page SEO
 It is good to be consistent when choosing either www or non-www URLs for the internal links between the pages on your
site. When crawling your site we found a link to your website, which is inconsistent with the URL we entered to be scanned.
 Related domains are other subdomains found on your website.
Your Page titles / Title Tags are not optimized
A page title should be crafted using keywords that are relevant to the page they are representing. Using your company
name in the title tag can hurt search results because it implies the web user already knows of your company rather than a
user searching for something like “Example Services – Your Geography”
Meta Descriptions
The majority of Example, inc‘s Meta descriptions are
too long. This is indicated by the (…) at the end of the
description. This yields descriptions that are not
complete.
Meta descriptions are what a web user will see as a

description of the page on a search result.
Relevant Meta descriptions create a contextual

consistency throughout a website that search engines use
to rank your page according to a user’s search query.
We see a need to optimize your website’s Meta

descriptions to clearly state what is following on the
page.
Example, inc
SEO Local Listings

Local listings on directory sites need to remain accurate and consistent. A search engine will treat your business
differently with missing, incomplete, or inconsistent directory listings. Example, inc’s current listing score is a 58% out of
100%. Some listings have been claimed but, most are not fully complete. There also remains several other listing to be
claimed on various directory sites as well as some inconsistencies in the existing listings.
Example, inc
Web Traffic
According to our tool, Example, inc only had 5 visitors in the month of January.
According to our tool, most of the keywords bringing traffic to your website are related to your company name .
According to our tool, Example, inc ranks in the top 50 on Google for these 5 keywords.
Example, inc
Overall Grade = C
The overall grade is due to:
 Little activity through blogging and social media

 Low organic traffic assessment
 Not using unique title tags.
 Weak Meta Descriptions
 An extensive contact form that allows user to apply for an example quote
 Template style web site design
 Inconsistent local listings
