Your Website … Fulfilling Visitors Expectations
Trust … That Your Website is Legitimate with Built-in Security Safeguards
Your straightforward answer to satisfy this consumer concern is to purchase an SSL certificate through a Certification Authority (CA). SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer and used when website visitors are required to submit personal or credit card information. SSL certificates create trust with users by verifying that websites used to track finances and make online purchases are secure and legitimate.
Your website runs the risk of being labeled as ‘Not Secure’ if it does not have an SSL certificate. Which could deter potential buyers of your product or service to seek out your competitors.
An SSL certificate will also affect your rankings and ad placement with Google. In an effort to ensure searchers have access to safe and secure websites, Google has started using SSL certificates as a ranking signal. If you’re website is not secure, you will likely be missing out on opportunities to have your website appear for relevant searches on Google.
Your success in e-commerce must be grounded in a foundation of trust . Your website designer should be able find out if anything is missing from your certificate and identify the level of security appropriate for your business.


Speed … Ensure Fast Load Times
How fast your web pages load has an enormous impact on user behavior. For every extra second it takes your website to load, you can expect to lose a large percentage of visitors. That means that loading times greatly affect the search engine rankings. While website speed is only a small part of the Google algorithm, it’s a huge factor to maintain Page One status in searches.
Note: More than half of Google searches take place on a mobile device. Google typically determines your rankings based on the mobile version of your website … not your desktop version. So, mobile web searchers who enjoy superior search engine experience drive enhanced Google recognition of your site.
