I would ask the board to optimize the site and the pages goo.gl/0cEmC4 eg goo.gl/krULvE what can be improved to be higher in the search results. I have a pretty good White Hat links but still a lot of pages ahead of me. I try SEO: better internal linking, meta tags, title, microformats, page speed and many SEO factor but my website but it is still far in SERP. I look forward to any advice optimization.
If you search online, you will come across various free and paid SEO tools for checking the on page elements of your website. Check on them and if some modifications are required, perform them. The off page optimization strategies will work well only if the on page optimization is done correctly.
Here are some steps to follow and implement (in this order): 1. I recommend to start with basic stuff like Google Developer tools, especially if you target Google as your SE rank increase. Check your stats and improve on recommended point. 2. Check your competitors on the same niche and your keyword rankings. I strongly recommend SEMrush.com services to achieve that (they offer some free and paid services) 3. Continue link building but be aware not to spam or use any bulk services, since Google will penalize you. Use related blogs, response in job related articles to refer to your website 4. If you are taking content from other sites try to modify it or add more text so that your content will be unique and useful for the users...in this way you will end up with natural traffic and SE will rank you higher. 5. Monitor your progress using SEMrush, Google Developer Tools and Alexa so that you can take necessary actions 6. A little luck will help also Good luck man, S.
If you want to succeed, you absolutely cannot ignore offsite SEO. We've ranked domains with no site and no hosting to 9th position in "phrase" searching, while we still see people twiddling their thumbs waiting for results from changing some tags or titles on their site. Know this: Even if you're not doing offsite SEO, your competitors, and big name brands, most certainly are.
Yup, and it was a .com of a URL that already exists in .co.uk for an established English bakery. Got to 9th on first page for a keyword, with no site or under construction page with a dozen other keywords on 2nd-3rd page. You should see the results we get on real websites. There's a difference between the SEO we do and the SEO I see advertised on Digital Point. We aren't playing with meta tags and titles and pretending like it's marketing or optimization.
"There's a difference between the SEO we do and the SEO I see advertised on Digital Point. We aren't playing with meta tags and titles and pretending like it's marketing or optimization." I find your initial post entirely illogical as Spock would say but, I am entirely with you on this one. I have been trying to explain to folks how to do stuff right around here for 6 years. The good news is, it wont work because no one listens. While albeit frustrating, its still job security. My problem is my current SEO client base hired someone from here first or freelancer, elance, fiverr etc. I am fighting a few uphill battles lol... Nigel
And, I should probably bother to answer the op. You need to be doing a range of things. Something of that scope should be approached as a brand based exercise. Clean, reputable backlink profile is key here for starters. The trick is to figure out how to make the site build its own links. You can't solve seo issues by simply hurling links at the problem. N.
