Why Website Optimisation Matters
You’ve invested in a website. It looks great, your content is solid, and your branding is on point. But traffic is slowing, bounce rates are climbing, and conversions are inconsistent. Sound familiar?
That’s because even the best websites need continuous improvement. Algorithms change. Customer behaviour shifts. Technology advances. Without regular optimisation, your website becomes outdated and invisible.
Website optimisation isn’t just about SEO (though that’s a big part). It’s about ensuring your entire digital presence, from design and structure to speed and accessibility keeps pace with your audience’s expectations and the competition.
What Does Website Optimisation Include?
At Platform Marketing, we take a holistic approach to optimisation. Here’s what that typically includes:
1. Technical Performance
Slow-loading pages or broken links are a surefire way to lose visitors. We run comprehensive audits to identify issues with speed, mobile responsiveness, indexing, and crawlability, and fix them fast.
2. SEO & Content
Ranking well in search engines starts with keyword strategy, but it doesn’t end there. We regularly update your content, optimise meta tags, and align on-page elements with your broader SEO goals.
3. User Experience (UX)
User journeys should feel effortless. We review heatmaps, click paths, and drop-off points to streamline navigation, simplify CTAs, and guide visitors toward conversion.
4. Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)
Traffic is useless without action. Whether it’s newsletter signups, contact form submissions, or online sales, we A/B test elements to continuously improve conversion rates.
5. Security & Compliance
With GDPR and data protection regulations in place, we ensure your website meets all requirements. Regular updates to plugins, firewalls, and SSL certificates are part of our ongoing optimisation strategy.

Absolutely. Optimisation directly affects SEO by improving site speed, mobile responsiveness, content quality, and user engagement, all of which are ranking factors.
