3 Local Sites that Can Improve their SEO
Skyline Dental
Although Skyline Dental has a meta description tag, the tag is uninformative and could help their click-through rate and subsequently improve their Google page ranking. The current description is "The home page of Skyline Dental LLC located in Bend, Oregon". They are missing out on a great opportunity to bring traffic to their web page. Something along the lines of "Skyline Dental is a family friendly dental practice in Bend that has been providing care in Central Oregon for over 30 years" would potentially bring more traffic to the page.
Pilot Butte Drive In
I did a Google search for Bend Oregon Burgers, and Pilot Butte Drive in didn't appear until page 3. This is surprising, seeing as Pilot Butte is often voted "Bend's Best Burger". One problem appears to be the title tag- "Our Story - Pilot Butte Drive In Pilot Butte Drive In". I have no idea why it would say Pilot Butte Drive In twice. A better option for the home page might be something along the lines of "Pilot Butte Drive In, the best burgers in Bend Oregon".
Barrio
The alt image attributes on Barrio's website are all blank. It's interesting that the developer included the attribute, but failed to add descriptions. Descriptions with emphasis placed on keywords could potentially bring a lot of traffic to the site. The website includes a gallery section featuring delicious food items, and photos of the space, so not including the descriptions is a missed opportunity.
