It\u2019s time to throw that out.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Outdated SEO, PPC, and CRO tactics are not going to help you succeed,\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0they may actually be holding you back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many of the fundamentals have remained the same. However, a lot of shortcuts and \u201chacks\u201d that you may have read about in 2017 or 2018 are now possibly costing you money and SEO clout. Here\u2019s what you need to know for 2020 and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mobile-First Everything<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Google has officially gone all-in on mobile-first indexing, which means we all need to convert to mobile-first planning and mobile-first building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A lot of companies are still thinking desktop because they assume that most of their target audience is still viewing them on desktop\u2014they may even have the data to prove it. That\u2019s fair. However, Google is still going to look at your mobile site before it looks at your desktop. Which means you need to be properly mobile-optimized.

But, it has never been more important than it is right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Site load speed is a core component of Google\u2019s search algorithm. It is now even more important to your mobile site after their latest speed update. As we start to roll out more 5G cell networks, mobile users will have even less patience for any sort of waiting.<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- Home page 728x90 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 728px; height: 90px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9864771813712812\" data-ad-slot=\"3152971286\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If your site is lagging or loading slowly, you may need to remove:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Any extra coding on your pages<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Any pages\/blogs you\u2019re no longer using<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Any images that aren\u2019t compressed<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Any WordPress plugins you\u2019re not using<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All of those things can weight down the back end of any site.
