Introduction

Our Internet service assesses your presence on the web, to see whether we can make or suggest changes that will improve your visibility to others.

Fortunately there are a relatively small number of important techniques that can make a significant difference. The remaining 90% of tweaks will probably only help with squeezing an extra couple of percent improvements, and are probably not worth the effort.
