Optimize Your Homepage For Conversions (And Your Brand Name)
Yes, your homepage usually has a ton of authority.
But in general, homepages are a huge pain in the butt to rank. Homepages don’t have a ton of content.
(And when they do it’s content aimed at selling).
In short, homepages usually aren’t the type of pages that Google wants to show their users.
That’s why I focus my homepage efforts on ranking for my brand name…and on conversions.
