    Incidentally, we know that the “CrossFit MPH – Washington, DC” in the banner is annoying and redundant, but it’s the only way we know to get Google to find us. If anyone knows a better way, we’re open to suggestions.

      can you just make the text the same color as the background? so it’s there, but you can’t actually see it?

    i am no computer person, but i think there is some way to reformat the banner so that it’s not just a “picture” of the letters that say CrossFit MPH, but actually computer-recognizable letters. I think the process is called OCR. If you could do that to your banner, the banner would be legible to Google as text.

    That’s the extent of my knowledge. Helpful, huh?

    Does your WordPress have a place to add Meta Data? Those are words that search engines will gather info from. Might be another thing to look into.

      Nope–no Meta Data adds, Matt.

    or, you could type the banner letters in black. that way, they won’t show, but they will be found by google?

      It doesn’t work that way, unfortunately. We type that into a text box without the option to format the text itself.

        can you make the text tiny? not a full solution, but at least less noticeably redundant…

      Technique is the order of the day today. We are working hard to get into the full squat position.

    The bad news: I tried googling Crossfit Washington DC and I didn’t make it to the MPH website. The good news: when I googled Crossfit MPH I found some very favorable press. http://www.thrillist.com/logan-circle/crossfit-mph

    Congratulations the buzz begins!
