Try to be consistent by using sub-root directory domains like example.com/seo rather than subdomains like seo.example. Try to keep to a domain as older ones are seen to be better than newer ones.
#Optimize for different devices Your website should be optimized for proper viewing on any device. And remember to create rich content like videos or even gifs.
