  • New SEO Module - This module concentrates the main characteristics that are a direct or indirect part of SEO and that affect the perception of visitors to your website. Set up your website's seal to indicate that your site is safe, verify your site with top search engines and antivirus, easily integrate Google Analytics and keywords to check your Web Traffic and tell social media how you want your website to be presented. All this can do with the new SEO module that we present in this release, it is very easy to use and in our knowledge base you will find everything you need to start managing your SEO.
    • Security (COMODO SSL Certificate) - Put the security seal on your website and visually tell your visitors that they are browsing a secure website.
    • Domain Verification (Google, Bing and Yandex) - Verify your domain with the major search engines in the market so that your website appears quickly in your results.
    • Antivirus Verification (Norton Safe Web and Kaspersky URL Advisor) - Most of your visitors probably have installed on their navigation devices some of the antivirus applications of Norton or Kaspersky. When a user performs a search that may include your website and he has installed any of these antivirus, if your website has not been verified by these antivirus, your website will appear with a gray mark next to the title, indicating that your site has not yet been tested by the antivirus. When your website has been verified by the antivirus in question, the color of the mark is green, indicating that your website has been verified and is safe. Clearly although this is not a direct part of SEO, a gray mark may confuse your potential visitor and, perhaps, future client, and persuade you not to click on your website. For this reason, we have decided to include in this SEO module the verification with the Antivirus.
    • Web Traffic (Google Analytics and Keywords) - Track all traffic to your website with Google Analytics just by entering your property ID (also known as the "tracking ID") and although the keywords are no longer as popular as before and many search engines do not make use of them, we do not know when they can be useful again, so we also we add the possibility of including some keywords in case you want to do so.
    • Social Media (Facebook Open Graph and Twitter Cards) - The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph, this protocol is a suitable tool for both Facebook and for social media in general. The Open Graph protocol allows you to decide which elements will be displayed on Facebook each time your website is referenced. It also allows search engines to index your content better, so that users who perform detailed searches can find them more easily. With Twitter Cards, you can attach rich photos and others content to Tweets, helping to drive traffic to your website. Users who Tweet links to your website will have a “Card” added to the Tweet that’s visible to their followers. With the SEO module you can select among other things the title and description of your website as well as the associated image that you want social media to show when someone refers to your website.
