2020 was a year of challenges for all of us worldwide, but at Corporate Conversions we are grateful for having the opportunity to serve our clients this past year. As so many businesses and organizations transitioned to being online more, we were very busy. However, it’s safe to say we all hope 2021 is much more normal than 2020 was. If you’re wondering how to make your website and digital marketing shine in 2021, here are a few things to consider.
Moving Forward: User Experience and Local SEO in 2021
It’s always important to consider how your company’s web presence appeals to your target audience. That includes your website and your marketing, either digital, content, or social. Here are some questions to ask:
- How can you update your website to new SEO best practices?
- Is your website accessible to all of your audience?
- What is your website’s page performance?
- Have you optimized your local SEO?
We’ve discussed the importance of local SEO multiple times on our blog. We were reminded again this year how important local businesses are to all of us. Google stepped up and made changes to its Google My Business listings to help companies keep communication open with their customers during the lockdowns. Moving forward, Google intends to make GMB even more relevant and vital to business owners, including expanding business messaging, promoting posts, updating Google Maps, and offering easier access to performance analytics.
If you have not yet claimed your Google My Business listing and aren’t using it in your marketing and advertising, you are missing out on a great opportunity to promote yourself to the public for free. A big chunk of the public is even more reliant on search engines than ever for their shopping and business information because they are at home indefinitely. They want to know how current conditions are affecting how you run your business.
We would like to thank all of our clients and the greater West Michigan community again for being a vital part of our 2020. We are excited about next year and what the changes will bring for the web experience as a whole. If you have questions about how your website or online presence could be expanded or improved, please call Tom at 616-426-9303. He would be glad to talk through any issues you may be having.

From all of us at Corporate Conversions: Happy New Year and all the best to you in 2021!
