Your website is live — what now?

Launching your website is a great milestone. Here are a few things worth ticking off in the weeks that follow.

Check the basics yourself

Before sharing your site widely, spend ten minutes reading through it as a visitor would:

• Every page loads without errors
• Contact forms work and you receive the notification email
• Phone numbers and email addresses are clickable (especially on mobile)
• No placeholder or “lorem ipsum” text remains
• Images all load and look right on your phone

Set up Google Search Console

Google Search Console is a free tool that shows how your site appears in Google search results. It also lets you submit your sitemap so Google indexes your pages faster.

1. Go to search.google.com/search-console and sign in with a Google account.
2. Add your domain and follow the verification steps.
3. Once verified, go to Sitemaps and enter sitemap.xml (your Jezweb site includes one automatically).

Think about SEO over the long term

Search engine optimisation takes months to show results. The foundations are:

• Clear, descriptive page titles and headings
• Genuine, useful content that answers what your customers are searching for
• Fresh content added over time — even occasional blog posts help

Set up your business profiles

Make sure your business name, address, phone number, and website are consistent across:

• Google Business Profile (shows your business on Google Maps and in local search)
• Facebook (if your customers are there)
• Any industry directories relevant to your field

Consistent contact details help both customers and search engines trust your listing.

Connect your social media

Link your website to your social profiles and put your website URL in each profile’s bio. This helps people find you whichever way they first come across your business.
