5. Yoast SEO- If your web pages don’t have the right titles and descriptions, there’s no way for Google to find them and rank them. Yoast SEO makes it easy and does all the hard work behind the scenes for you so you can rank and rank better than your competition.

8.  iThemes Security- There are over 30,000 websites hacked everyday. Without the proper tools in place, your site may be vulnerable and could expose your clients valuable data. Security is a top concern for us so we make sure to always use the latest techniques in securing our clients websites.
