πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ« Having Influence to earn support
πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ Be fast and agile
🚨 Be consistent and error free.

I explain how in my presentation from #WTSFest πŸ™Œ

slideshare.net/aleydasolis/th… Image
A few highlights of the presentation, in #SEOmeme mode (@izzionfire this is dedicated to you 😜):

* When decision makers assess SEO vs. PPC investment... Image
A real pic of an SEO waiting for implementations to be launched πŸ˜‚

... Image
SEOs talking with decision makers: how it is vs. how it should be!

... Image
On why it's critical to prioritize SEO activities

... Image
Why is fundamental to be agile/flexible and revise our SEO goals and activities frequently through the process ... Image
Why a well aligned SEO activities coordination is fundamental for the process

πŸ™ Image
On a more serious note, here are a few ideas discussed in the deck in cast you're too busy to check:

1) SEO is multidisciplinary and this show how/why a sound/well aligned coordination across areas is fundamental to achieve results

... Image
2) To get buy in from decision makers, setting "top-to-down" SEO goals that can be easily traced/mapped to the overall business goals is critical, the impact and "why" of your activities will be much easier understood and get better support... Image
3) Ideally, the "top-do-down" goals should be set not only for SEO but across areas, like this it will be also easier to identify those "unified/shared" goals across areas that will facilitate to see why/how you can support each other in execution... Image
4) Prioritize your SEO activities based on impact and effort, create a matrix to quantify them and have an easier time establishing which should be done first.

... Image
5) Every single SEO recommendation from your audit should answer the "5 Ws and the H" for actionability and facilitate others to understand their importance, impact and how to move forward with it

... Image
6) Minimize errors through the SEO process implementation by setting a healthy SEO framework that integrates: Education/Evangelization, Validation and Monitoring... these 3 types of activities need to be aligned to stop chasing errors after they happen!

... Image
7) Despite having a validation/monitoring framework you should always be prepared for the worst! Plan for those "What-Ifs" by establishing workflows with actions and timeline to follow for the most common SEO f*ck ups! Image
πŸ’ͺ SEO is not getting easier... it is more competitive and complex to get the desired visibility/traffic/revenue, but these principles should be able to help to achieve an effective process!

If you’re a builder/maker/writer/etc: whatever you create, esp at the start, even if it’s super useful, attractive and for free ... you NEED to promote. The more you don’t have a established brand/following: the more you need to promote. There’s no shame on promoting at all ...
... is part of the journey, just do it in a meaningful, relevant way! We’ve all been there and even if we have now a more established following/brand we continue to promote to get what we make visibility. Have you seen how I share about #seofomo, #learningseo or @remotersnet? ...
... there’s this fallacy about: create something great and the rest will come! Why? I don’t want to leave anything to β€œchance” especially if I’ve invested (and I’m proud) of what I’ve build: I’ll promote every single time πŸ’ͺ the best? This compounds over time πŸ˜‰ ...

SEO project management/coordination/communication challenges can break an otherwise meant to be successful process πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ A few tips to avoid this:

1. Establish & make sure all involved understand the "WHY" (Main Purpose) of the process: What you're ultimately looking to achieve
... this will allow you to easily prioritize (and re-prioritize when needed) activities, eliminate noise, and easily put in context any challenges and issues that arise in the process: Doest *THIS* help to achieve (or not) the WHY? Tackle accordingly.

...
2. Define and document agreed minimum requirements for the process success* (establish what success will look like too!):

Eg: To implement N priority actions per month with Y% of SEO specifications effectively in place.

Make sure to allocate resources/times accordingly.

Are you doing Speed & Core Web Vitals analysis? To prioritize actions w/ clients I've found useful to do competitive speed & CWV analysis to show its importance and impact vs. other player for meaningful queries!

Here's a thread about how to do it w/ free tools βš‘οΈπŸ› 

...
1. Identify your top pages CWV metrics vs. competitors for most important queries:

How are your pages targeted to the most meaningful/relevant queries performing vs. your competitors? Show the gap in SERPs by using @defaced Core SERP Vital extension: defaced.dev/tools/core-ser…
...
2. Let's dig deeper and compare these pages using pagespeed.compare that shows both Mobile lab (lighthouse) and and field (CrUX) data at different levels of detail for the gathered metrics (LCP, FID, CLS) with nice visual comparisons to show where's the gap among them

Dear International Websites:

* If you only have certain offering available for *some* countries, publish those URLs only in those, don't waste crawlers efforts going through hundreds of thousands of URLs which are not indexable anyway ...
* If you're language targeting and end up realizing you can't grow further due to lack of localization and there's enough traffic + conversion potential in that market: consider to start country targeting it - it will be better than trying to "patch" and look for workarounds...
* If you're country targeting using subdirectories, for heaven's sake, please use the country subdirectory as the first one in your URL structure, eg: domain.com/ch/ for Switzerland rather than language first, eg: domain.com/fr/ch/ for Swiss in French, etc. πŸ˜…
