Elevate SEO

Elevate helps with the management of your WordPress website from a search engine optimization (SEO) perspective. You will be able to manage your search titles, descriptions, and social media appearance while editing your content within WordPress. During the initial setup, Elevate can automatically configure your site on Google Search Console and Analytics for you via the installation wizard, or automatically find and use your previously configured Google information. Elevate will also correct major issues your site may have with PageSpeed, typically increasing your Google PageSpeed ranking with just a few clicks. All of the necessary social media and search console tasks are handled automatically for you, including the generation and submission of an XML sitemap, and the verification of your site on Google Search Console. These steps are often ignored by end-users likely resulting in diminished search rankings. Elevate will also insert the appropriate information for Facebook, Twitter and Linked to showcase your site or featured images when your content is shared, as well as your custom title and meta information, which you can adjust on a per-post basis to help improve your Google and Bing search rankings. Using Elevate's comprehensive SEO and performance dashboard, you will be able to instantly see key metrics for your website, including page views, visitors, crawl errors, website speed, organic search impressions, and click through rate (CTR). You'll also be able to see which direction those numbers are trending - is your website getting better, or worse? This feedback is invaluable for website owners, and will let them continue to improve and track changes to their websites.
