Written by Jeremy Duncombe | Aug 31, 2018 8:19:47 AM



In part one of the fourth episode of the Accord Growth Series podcast, John Brenan, Media Relations Manager at Accord Mortgages, is joined by Liz Robinson, Client Services Director at Digital Consortium, to discuss how small search engine optimisation (SEO) changes can have a profound impact on where your website appears in Google searches.

Smaller Mortgage Brokers especially can struggle to compete with larger national companies to appear in the first page for relevant searches. In the first part of the podcast, Liz discusses some simple changes you can make to your website that enable Google to better understand its content. She gives an overview of how mortgage brokers can use convenient tools like Search Console, Wix and Wordpress to create a website that ticks all of Google’s boxes and give you a better chance of appearing in your prospects’ searches.
