asked whether the "SERVICES" box in the lower-left column will help add keywords. Because flagged this as site-specific, the notes below are general best-practice guidance rather than a review of any particular URL.

A short SERVICES block can help when it points to real, unique pages rather than acting as a list of keyword fragments. Useful rules: use descriptive anchor text (for example, "WordPress theme development" rather than "Services"), make each link lead to a dedicated page with its own title, H1 and meaningful content, and avoid repeating long lists of keyword permutations sitewide (that looks like boilerplate and has little SEO value). Anchor text and internal links pass topical signals, so quality pages behind those links matter more than the sidebar text itself.

Practical HTML pattern (keeps links crawlable and semantic):

<aside id="services" role="complementary">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="/web-design">Web design & responsive layouts</a></li>
    <li><a href="/seo-audit">SEO audit and consulting</a></li>
    <li><a href="/wordpress-dev">WordPress development</a></li>
  </ul>
</aside>

Additional notes: use semantic markup (<nav>/<aside>), ensure links are visible crawlable text (not hidden or image-only), consider structured data for complex offerings, and measure changes with analytics/Search Console. For a hands-on, site-specific review, move this thread to the Site-Specific Questions forum as advised.
