There are critical indicators that absolutely need to be addressed BEFORE you launch your new site. These check marks are carefully evaluated by Google and search engines.

I’m going to share my Essential Pre-Launch Checklist. It contains all the critical elements that need to be checked before you launch the new site.

Until your designer says that all have been addressed, do not move forward with the launch. Capiche?
