strategy focused on optimizing the site for welding-specific,

Meta descriptions and titles
PAS’ use of Meta descriptions and titles was doing little to brand it
within the plastic welding niche. PAS’ HTML sitemap was
complete, but its XML version failed to include all pages on the site
and prioritized each page equally, cancelling out any optimization
work that would be done to boost the ranking of specific pages.
This helped identify pages to users searching related terms and
search engines indexing the site.
