Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines rank websites with the most relevant and up-to-date information on their search results pages. Websites are required to be maintained because these engines perform daily ranking algorithms. YES, professional websites do require routine maintenance. Why? Business websites are not just a single “once and done’ production, that would be unsound, faulty thinking – your business website is the living, moving, primary component of your companies existence. A knowledgeable business owner will ensure that their website is always freshly up-to-date and kept as secure and accurate as possible. It is, after all, their intellectual property and their FIRST-LINE of visibility and marketing to existing clients and potential new customers.
