For website redesigns, updates and SEO projects we need access to your website, also its possible we need access to your website’s code and CMS system to give an idea how much work is required. In trying to work out exactly what your site needs in terms of work we need a full view of it and to get that we need to see all the bits of it to make the best recommendations, its a bit like doing a survey on a house but cant go inside all the rooms without the correct keys.
The following gives an idea of what we ask from you if we do not host your website:
As part of your Website Changes / SEO campaign with us it is imperative that we receive FTP Access Details, CMS Access Details & Google Analytics logins for your website as soon as possible. This will enable us to update your website with on-site SEO changes to make maximum impact to your campaign with us. If you are unsure of how to obtain any of this information please see below:
• FTP access can be obtained by speaking to your web developer. They may ask why you want it, once you have explained the work we are doing for you they will most likely release this. Should you incur any delay or reluctance in the release in the information, please feel free to get in touch and we will do what we can to assist. You should expect to receive a “Host” e.g. website address, username and password.
• CMS (Content Management System) is simply the way you access your site to make editorial changes to the live site, whether that be pictures, wording or product quantities where applicable. If you are unsure of how to obtain this, please also refer to your web developer. Once again details should be very similar to FTP details in the form of “URL” e.g. website address/admin, username and password.
• Google Analytics logins are just the Username/Email and password you use to access your Google account. If you do not have a Google account it is important you create one and supply us with the login information.
Please note that the sooner we receive these details the sooner the work can be completed, and the quicker the campaign can get moving in the right direction. Thank you in anticipation for your response, should you have any questions or wish to discuss this request further or want me to call you, please feel free to get in touch and I will endeavour to help in whatever way I can. Once we have these details on how to access your website we can give you a precise idea how much work is required to get you where you want to be (ranking higher / more visitors).
