Why Invest in Web Site Maintenance?
The importance of SEO tuning, good housecleaning, and a website maintenance program must be considered for good online brand awareness, brand development, and customer trust.
Maintaining a good brand image for your company online is a prime reason for keeping a business website up-to-date, and is a process that should never stop. A website that is static, with a business that never adds any new content, may have copyright notifications that are way out of date, is displaying to the world, a company’s brand image with very little attention going into the online details of the company website. This is a red flag and calls attention, with potential new customers thinking, that if a company does not pay attention to the details on their website, maybe customer service is questionable too.
From a standpoint of SEO and the search engine algorithms we have been given insight into some of the key points that are examined when the search engines produce a set of results pages for any particular keyword search.

From a search perspective it is important to keep the information fresh and up-to-date. Additionally from a visitor’s perspective it is also important to see current copyright dates, email contact information, products and services provided, information about the company, news updates, and making sure that everything that is said is accurate.
