Zoho Sites SEO
How Can We Help You Grow?

Elevating this ranking can be challenging without the right expertise. Our services at Digital Scientists specialise in optimising websites for search engines, ensuring businesses' websites get indexed and attain a high ranking. This strategic approach enhances visibility, making it easier for users to find the desired services.

Click on "Upload" to add the fonts that are needed. Upload them to the site's files.
Return to the "Settings" menu and select the "Custom CSS Editor."
Once the editor is open, users can copy and paste the following code:
@font-face {
font-family: 'fontname';
src: url('/Font.otf');
font-weight: normal;

Log in to the Zoho site builder.
Click on "Settings" in the site builder menu.
On the left-hand side of the screen, there will be a section labeled "Others." In this section, there should be a "Delete Site" button.
Click the "Delete Site" button, and it should initiate the deletion process.
It's important to note that sometimes a pop-up message may appear, which states "Downgrade this site to proceed." This message typically appears when users are trying to delete a paid site. Paid sites may need to be downgraded first before they can be deleted.
If the Zoho site is part of a Zoho One subscription, it's necessary to remove the site from the subscription before users can proceed with the deletion process. This ensures that all necessary steps are taken to remove the site properly.
Ensure that the website is under a paid Zoho Sites plan. Watermark removal is not available for free plans.
Go to the "Settings" section within the Zoho Sites account.
In the "Settings" menu, locate "Preferences" under the "General" tab.
Within the "Preferences" section, there should be a setting related to the Zoho Sites watermark, often labeled as "Powered by Zoho Sites."
Select the radio button labeled "Hide" to disable the watermark.
By following these steps, the watermark should be successfully removed from the website, providing a cleaner and more professional appearance.
Optimise Images: Resize and compress images to ensure they are no larger than necessary for their display on the website. This can significantly reduce loading times.
Minimise Integrated Applications: Only integrate and use applications that are essential for the website's functionality. Unnecessary applications can slow down the site.
Reduce Embedded Scripts: Limit the use of embedded scripts, such as those from Google Maps or YouTube, as these can increase loading times. Consider using lazy loading for videos to load them only when a user interacts with them.
Optimise File Types: Use modern, optimized file types for images, like WebP, which can provide better compression and quality compared to traditional formats like JPEG or PNG. This reduces the amount of data needed to load images.
By implementing these measures, businesses can enhance their Zoho site's speed and provide a smoother and more engaging experience for their users.
Zoho Sites Integrations
Zoho Sites offers extensive integration capabilities with a variety of applications to support businesses in their endeavors. A prime example of this synergy is the integration with Zoho CRM.

These leads are instrumental in gaining profound insights into their customer base, facilitating the targeting of new customers, and developing a strategic approach. As Zoho implementation partners, we ensure a seamless integration process that optimises the benefits of these applications for businesses. Furthermore, Zoho SalesIQ is another valuable application in this context. By integrating SalesIQ with Zoho Sites, businesses can access real-time insights about the visitors on their website.
