Your website is live! So, what next?
Congratulations on your new website! 🎉🎉
What do you need to do next? It's over to you!
Wait 24-48 hours before sharing it 🚫
Once we've told you the website is going live, please wait 24-48 hours before sharing it with anyone, such as putting the link on your social media.
This is so the website can connect up worldwide. You're probably excited, but if you share it too soon it might not load properly for everyone.
Get on social media 📣
And if you're already on it, improve your profiles.
Every business should have Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin. Get profiles, make sure they look great and are properly branded to match your business, and start sharing your new website and services.
Start growing your Google ranking 📈
