Episode 2 - 5 common website mistakes and how to fix them

Author: Karlie Plowman February 16, 2024 Duration: 16:17

Today's episode looks at 5 of the most common mistakes I see website owners make. Use this episode as a starting point for your own DIY website review and to make impactful changes and improve your user experience, improve bounce rate, promote engagement, increase conversion rates and improve your SEO.


In this episode I mention a free Chrome Extention that runs an audit through your site and identifies any and all of your broken links - here's the link to that extension for you


You can also use the website audit tool on my favourite website and SEO program, SE Ranking, which will do a thorough audit of your entire site and identify areas for improvement. I have an affiliate link for you to sign up for a 14-day free trial of SE Ranking - click here to get started
