ASSESS THE HEALTH OF YOUR EXISTING WEBSITE:

Next you should assess the health and search engine friendliness of your existing website.  
There are lots of free tools out there.  Here is our favorite collection of

big or small the challenge of optimizing your web site might be, or for that matter, if it's even
feasible.
