You can get the maximum benefits from updating your website by having a section on your home page that shows a snippet of your latest news, articles of blog posts. New content appearing regularly on your site will keep your site up to date and visible with the search engines.
If you do choose to add any of the above to your website then you need to make sure that you are going to update it regularly. At lease once per month, as it will appear very unprofessional if your latest news article contained information regarding the latest news from 6 months ago, it would also give the impression that their isn’t much happening within the business, which isn’t the impression you would want to give to potential customers.
One of the biggest aims of all website owners should be to get to the top of the search engines and one of the things all search engines love is new content. So if you are updating your site content regularly then you will be supplying the search engines with new things to index and get hold of. You will be surprised at the amount this can help your rankings in the search engines and is something we would always recommend.
