Hey Twitter friends! I'm super pumped to be spreading the good word of project management and share some tips that will help you make your content creation process easier to delegate, scope, visualize timeline, and plan.

@voeckseo #SEOThread
When evaluating projects, tasks, and teams, the most common/thing issue I see arise is that tasks are too bulky and have BS deadlines. As a result these teams have a hard time understanding and visualizing steps, scope, timeline, and due dates.

@voeckseo #SEOThread
This confusion often results in misunderstanding of end results, missed steps/milestones, over/under scoping, sliding due dates, and team frustration. So, how can we avoid all of this? By breaking out large tasks into sub-tasks.

@voeckseo #SEOThread
Breaking out large tasks into subtasks can help us to better align steps/milestones, estimate scope, estimate due dates, sprint plan, and help the team gain a better understanding about the project as a whole. Doesn't this sound AWESOME? Let's get started!

@voeckseo #SEOThread
I'm going to use a month long content project titled "Why You Should Use Semrush" as an example. Follow along as we take this bulky task and turn it into an easy-to-use parent task with sub-task to breakout the content process.

@voeckseo #SEOThread
Step 1: Create a parent task

Step 2. Add a due date to the parent task. This will allow you to reverse engineer each sub-tasks needed due dates.

Step 3: Add sub-tasks that best describe each step within your process.

Step 4: Add assignees to sub-tasks

@voeckseo #SEOThread
Side Notes:
-Knowing what sub-tasks to use is a combination of using steps from your team's current process and adding new steps to improve your process.

-Choosing who to assign tasks to will depend on your teams skill level and knowledge.

@voeckseo #SEOThread
Step 5: Add due dates to sub-tasks

Step 6: Add priority to sub-tasks

Step 7: Add scope (time or points) to sub-tasks

Step 8: Add user stories, acceptance criteria, and definition of done to sub-tasks

@voeckseo #SEOThread
Now you can see all of your sub-tasks, clearly see and communicate steps, how sub-tasks can be implemented into your monthly sprint planning, and how deadlines and timelines can or cannot be shifted to meet your team or client needs.

@voeckseo #SEOThread
Something so simple as breaking down a task into subtasks can have a HUGE impact on your team's organization as well as help you understand your team's efficiency, refine your task process, uncover staffing needs, and so much more!

I'm Michel Fortin, Director of Search at @seopluscanada and SEO consultant at @michelfortin. After doing this Internet thing for 30 years, I believe that SEO is undergoing an important shift -- not in what it is or how it's applied, but in how it's perceived.

Check Google's Lighthouse and the SEO score is about being findable, crawlable, and indexable. Follow their Webmaster Guidelines, and you're on solid footing. Right? But as we all know, SEO is much more than that.

Things like search quality and page experience are becoming increasingly vital. The Search Quality Raters Guidelines talk about E-A-T and meeting needs. We also have search intent, search features, semantic search, and so much more to deal with.

Ever hear the quote “Without data, you’re just another person with an opinion”? For SEOs, data allows us to prove our value, support working theories, spot threats/opportunities, learn from success/failures, and create impactful next step business decisions.

@cbrodzky #SEOThread Interpreting SEO data to inform next steps
While anyone can look at data and say traffic went up or down, it’s what you do with it that makes a difference. This is why I shape my insights into the “three what questions.” 1) What happened? 2) What caused it to happen? 3) What do we do next?

@cbrodzky #SEOThread While anyone can look at data and say traffic went up or dow
Here’s an example of an insight crafted during COVID-19 last year. I had noticed some organic traffic fluctuations in January and February (it’s an international client), but the reason why traffic decreased only became more obvious in March.

@cbrodzky #SEOThread Visits from organic search decreased 13% MoM and 59% YoY. Th

Marvelous work, movie-lovers! Now that you’re warmed up, we need YOU! We’re working on a study about how people search for movies when they can’t remember the name - we found some good ones, but can’t identify the movie they belong to — HELP! 👇
Calling all film buffs - what movie are they talking about?! We’re assuming it was one iconic scene… #GuessTheMovie
That....wasn't exactly the main point of this movie. #GuessTheMovie
