Search engines

  • Do not register your web collections with search engines


To ensure that a Hantsweb page will be returned in a search within the top ten it has already been registered with search engines and directories.

Search engines crawl the rest of the site to index all the pages below the home page. Consequently your information will automatically be included in all the search engines after a short amount of time.

To optimise your web page visibility via search engines, ensure you web pages have appropriately-worded:

  • page titles

  • headings

  • Metatext

  • Links

  • Keywords - in the first 100 words of text

If you have any queries related to increasing your web pages visibility in search engines please contact the Web Services Team.
