I'll find keywords by accident because I'm often exploring new opportunities. I've always loved writing my thoughts in a notebook, so stationery seems like a worthwhile niche to pursue one day. #seo #blog

One keyword idea I wrote was "writing equipment"
here is what I found
1/8 ahrefs keyword report for writing equipment keyword
Doing this alone has opened the door to several micro-niches. "Adaptive writing equipment" is a niche that can stand on its own two feet. The products don't look like they're worth much, but it's interesting enough.

Let's look at expired domains.
2/8 adaptive writing equipment
I entered the word "adaptive" to see what comes up. Clearly, this niche has been scoped out and people see some value in it. If you look near the bottom, there is a great .com domain name that isn't taken, adaptivechild.
Let's pop it into ahrefs to see if it's any good.
3/8 finding expired domains
It has 40 referring domains and a DR of 4.7
Let's see what those backlinks look like. Looking at referring domains, there are lots of parenting and autism websites. Looking at anchors, there are plenty of product categories. This site used to be an e-comm. I'll buy it for $10
4/8
I'll pick one of the products discovered from the anchor text, "pressure vest". Since this niche is clearly about autism, let's see what comes up for "pressure vest autism". One of the first results is an amazon product page. Let's assume we want to rank for this keyword.
5/8
I can just go to Google to find some topics about pressure vests. Make a note of all the topics that are relevant and worth covering. These can be made into articles that will improve the site's overall relevance for this keyword.
6/8 people also ask results for pressure vests
From the list of 5-10 articles, I'd make an outline for each and outsource the writing. I have an outline for this on my site (content map blueprint). Once the writing is delivered, I'd publish it and optimize it. Next, I'd pick another topic from the list and do the same.
7/8
As you can see, I didn't even pursue writing equipment, but my initial research led me down a rabbit hole of other keywords. I found a great niche with lots of potential and was lucky enough to find a great expired domain for cheap.
8/8

In February, I was asked about creating a local business website for a new company. They had no interest in doing any SEO and just wanted a website. #seo #blog

I built the site and optimized it in case one day they wanted to get down to business.

Fast forward to August, they wanted the site to start getting traffic. They asked what it would take.

My answer was simple: Citations

You see, even though their website was optimized, there was no proof anywhere on the web that their site existed. Citations will fix that.
2/5
A citation is any mention of your business. As a minimum requirement, you'd include your business Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP).

Ideally, you'd also get a link pointing to your homepage.

These can be built across hundreds of free local directories.

One month ago, I walked into a store that was under new management and didn't seem to be doing so well. I asked to speak to the owner and offered some simple tips to drum up business for them. #seo #blog

In just 20 minutes, my SEO tips helped them have a great first month.
1/8 google business profile first month insights for small store
First, I had them set up a Google Business Profile on the spot. I walked them through how to do it on their Google Maps app.

This took 10 minutes and they were verified instantly because we included photos of the interior and exterior of the business.
2/8
Next, I wrote a business description (with their phone in my hands) about who they are and what they're offering.

I took a look around their store and came up with keywords that might help them. I used those keywords in the description.

In June, I helped a small business with my SEO services. In July, I made a post about what I did for them. #seo #blog



Every now and then, I like to go back to see how their site is doing. IMG: Top traffic keywords ranking

You can see how much impact this had on their visibility in search. When comparing L3M to the previous period, they had:

+26% increase in clicks
+135% increase in impressions

It could have been more, but as stated in the original post, they didn't have a big budget.

My hopes were to provide them with some cash flow, allowing them to re-invest later in the year (right about now).

One month ago, a small business reached out to me about fixing their site's SEO. They didn't have much of a budget, but I wanted to help. #SEO #blog

By fixing their site structure and improving their on-page SEO, they started the process of climbing the rankings. I did:
1/12 keyword rankings appearing ...search console impressions ...
I mapped the existing site structure into a spreadsheet, documenting all URLs and page titles. I documented which pages were sending and receiving internal links and the anchor texts used. I made a note for any pages that have thin content, poor on-page, and poor permalinks.
2/12
I carefully studied the intent of each page and created a draft for a new site structure. For each page, I re-built the titles and permalinks, using carefully selected keywords pulled from Ahrefs and Search Console. All new URLs received 301 redirects and were documented.

Some of the biggest wins are just sitting there waiting to be taken. Take your page 2 keywords and throw them into Google. Page 1 results will show you what your page is missing. #seo #blog

There are a few things you can do to win page 1 for these keywords.
1/ Image
Better match the intent - You might have misunderstood what the search meant. Make sure you're delivering on what the person is actually looking for. Page 1 results will have better matching intent. See what they're talking about.
2/
Covering missed topics - I guarantee you will find at least TWO topics you didn't include in your content. This gives you more keywords to target and you'll also get to double-dip on the next tip, which is keyword density.

Websites that have featured snippets share a few commonalities. You can check how each site weighs in by looking at the knowledge graph for each site. #seo #blog

tl;dr: e-a-t
1/4 website with featured snippet for a query
In this example, there are only 2 sites that are competing for the featured snippet for this query. There seems to be some detailed information about both.

The third site, which doesn't come up as a snippet, has almost no information about it.

One of the easiest ways to improve this result for a site is to create a high-quality about-us page. You can read more about this here:
