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.
1/5 google search console no im... 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

One of my first "SEO learner" sites has 120+ articles in a broad niche. These articles cover all kinds of topics in the niche, but nothing specific. #seo #blog

I just did a content audit for this site and found that these articles are covering 10+ sub-niches.

Don't do this. So, how can I fix it?

First is the content audit. Get every article into a spreadsheet. Include page titles if it helps. Map out every topic you cover and sort them into clusters (or buckets, whatever helps you to visualize).

Taking keywords from "not ranking" to "page one ranking" in one shot is possible. I did this for a client last month with a few simple tricks. #seo #ecommerce
1/5 getting page 1 ranking in t... First, I made sure the new vendor had its own collection page.

It's much cleaner to have a URL that reads:

"/collections/vendor-name"

than to have:

"?/q=vendor-name"

This also allows you to set a title and description.
