The party never stops with our Academy <\/b>students! This week we had the opportunity to hear from Michael \u201cMike\u201d Gburski, founder of JadeFire Development. <\/strong><\/p> Mike\u2019s a truly wonderful soul who focuses primarily on helping nonprofit organizations stand out and share what they believe in across the Web. On top of being a self-proclaimed \u201cDifference-Maker\u201d and \u201cCatalyst for Good\u201d, Mike is an absolute whiz at conquering the ins and outs of SEO\u2014and everything that goes along with it.<\/p> In this CWT episode, Mike got down to the nitty gritty of using Core Web Vitals to you and your clients\u2019 advantage.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Core web vitals use UX (user experience) to help determine a site\u2019s ranking on Google and other search engines. <\/strong>In layman\u2019s terms, that means that, the easier to use that your clients\u2019 site is, the more likely it is to appear higher in search results.<\/p> You absolutely need<\/em> to see Mike\u2019s examples and demonstrations of using Core Web Vitals to optimize your sites<\/strong>\u2014there\u2019s not one part of our chat in which I didn\u2019t learn something new, and there were several excellent questions from our group members that led to great discussions. In the meantime, here are some major concepts that we should consider.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Mike made a point of saying that not only is SEO\u2014search engine\u00a0<\/strong>optimization\u2014crucial for the status of your clients\u2019 sites, but it\u2019s also a great\u00a0<\/strong>source of recurring revenue<\/strong> as an agency owner, especially in a period of downturn.<\/p> At the same time, he stressed that it\u2019s not even close to the only<\/em> thing a site needs to\u00a0climb the search result ladder.<\/p> There are hundreds of factors that determine whether a site gets seen or not, and\u00a0<\/strong>it\u2019s impossible to check off every box<\/strong>. That\u2019s why Core Web Vitals can give you a leg up! Try to explore multiple factors that will give your site, and your clients\u2019 sites, an advantage.<\/p> New data is coming out every day on the amount that we access certain sites on our\u00a0mobile devices versus our desktop browsers, and the disparity is growing. That\u2019s why Core Web Vitals depend heavily on mobile data experience, which can help\u2014or really hurt\u2014your clients.<\/p> Especially if you\u2019re working with older clients or a smaller operation, there\u2019s a high probability that they\u2019ve put more effort into the desktop version of their site and left their mobile version in the dust. Check it out, assess the damage, and get it updated now.<\/em><\/p> You cannot get your clients\u2019 whole site up to the standards of positive\u00a0Core Web Vitals at the same\u2014Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day! That being said, there are probably some quick fixes, and others that are more complicated. There are also certain areas of your clients\u2019 site that will have a bigger and more immediate impact, according to their vitals. <\/strong><\/p> As you begin your planning and communicate your goals with the client, make sure that you\u2019re taking a hard look at how you prioritize your site updates.<\/strong> Remember that immediately positive results can be the difference between glowing recommendations and client frustrations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> Mike and I are far from the first ones to say this, but I think that this was one of his points that resonated with me the most. It would be outstanding <\/em>to bring all of the changes that your Core Web Vitals suggested to their optimal points, but it\u2019s also really unlikely. It doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re making any less of a positive difference in how your clients\u2019 sites come up in search results.<\/strong><\/p> We are so incredibly blessed to have such talented members in our group<\/strong> that can share their ideas with you\u2014it\u2019s amazing how much we can grow when we help each other grow.<\/p> I was really a bit blown away by what Mike shared, and I\u2019m definitely going to put those tips that he gave us to good use. I hope you found this helpful too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tWhy are Core Web Vitals, Vital?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
