Want to improve your website’s SEO score and ranking?

Check out my tips in this thread 👇

Did you know that 93% of internet experiences start with a search?

Did you also know that the top search result has a 33% chance of getting clicked?

The top three results get roughly 75% of all clicks!

Getting to the top can be daunting and challenging if you aren’t using the right approach

Use these tips to increase your odds of ranking your website and getting that top 3 placement

Pay attention to your page headings and content

Decide which keywords you want to target and tune your pages to target those keywords

Don’t repeat the keywords too often (keyword stuffing hasn’t worked in years) but make sure that your headings and content make it clear what the page is about

An SEO plugin can help you tune your content for a specific keyword

Improve your page load speed

Don’t chase performance scores and sacrifice features, but make sure that your website loads quickly and that visitors don’t leave due to poor performance

High bounce rates can impact your SEO score

Include images and other rich content in order to improve the readability and stickiness of your content

Make your pages and content detailed and engaging so that your visitor stays on the site and shares it

Tune your meta descriptions, title, and social sharing images for better click-through rates

Again, SEO plugins can help with this, or you can use this website to check your metas and adjust them for better results:

Use descriptive and meaningful page URLs

Don’t use cryptic page names and URLs

Use names that are descriptive and that match the keyword you are targeting

Use the - symbol to separate words

Include schemas to help search engines understand your content better

I often use the Reviews and FAQ schemas in order to help my websites and pages rank

If you want to learn more about schemas, check out this website:

Write content that attracts natural backlinks, but also seek opportunities to promote your content

You can perform outreach or use services like HARO to get backlinks

Without backlinks, you will have a real hard time ranking

Share your content on social media, but also make it easy to share on social media directly from the website or article

While this doesn’t give you a strong ranking boost, it can help

Make sure that your website is responsive

It’s 2021, having a website that isn’t responsive is no longer acceptable and will lead to high bounce rates and user dissatisfaction
