1. Choose the right keywords
Choosing the right keywords is one of the most important aspects of SEO. The right keywords can help your business grow, while the wrong keywords can do the opposite. The keywords you use can also help you build trust with your audience.If you want to boost the success of your Penguin Update and get more traffic, it’s better to use learned keywords than widely-searched-for keywords which are very hard to rank for. Nowadays a considerable amount of keywords have been pre-determined to be “drop” targets and as such shouldn’t be targeted with any different strategy.
If you decide to use a new set of keywords for your PRO campaign, then you should change only the filters used to find those keywords and do not change the advanced search targeting settings. The concepts of search engine optimization and SEO practices don’t change very much, so you should make sure that your strategy focuses on the same algorithms that you use to target other keywords. Filters - Filters are choosing the keywords in the correct order. For example, you could target [branded terms] - [their brand name] + [buy]. If you wanted to target [branded terms] + [their brand name], you have to combine them using advanced search operators.
Advanced search operators For example, if you wanted to find top rated products for their brand name, you could use: brand name + rated In this format, [brand name] means [their brand name] + [their brand name] The keyword [their brand name] includes the words [their brand name], [their brand name] and [their brand name]. Colons If there are more than 3 words in the brand name of the website, include them using the colon operator. Using the following formula, you could target [branded terms] + [their brand name] Colons are optional, no need to use them if you don't want to. "All" Google can find many keywords almost instantaneously and can match up many permutations of a text string.
2. Optimize your on-page SEO
On-page SEO is the process of optimising your web pages or blog posts for search engines. You can do this by: • Optimising your page titles and meta descriptions • Optimising your URLs and navigation • Optimising your on-page content • Optimising your images and alt text • Optimising your videos and other multimedia 2. Step 2: Make your page search engine accessible Step 2 is really, really hard. You should seek to answer every question search engines have about your page given that it is published on the web. Keep in mind that you must do this even if you: A) Have already answered this question on a relevancy questionnaire when submitting your site to search engines B) can already answer this question in content on the page Google provides, or C) are providing IR visual aids like image search results or rich snippets. Step 3: Step 3 is
Hard. Make it beautiful. If possible, get your bots to crawl the page. Landscape SEO is a methodology where you provide bots with a modest image file and ask them to construct an index from the crawl. You can use image search bots like TinyPNG or TinyICImage. There are hundreds of thousands of image formats you could upload, and bots could crawl and discover the most relevant URLs based on the specific characteristics of each image format you build a crawl path around. Robots.txt is a natural highlighting tool and reduces the strain on your bot by making your page accessible to cached or no cached versions of your page. After you’re happy with the layout of your page,
unless you have first been explicit with the search engine representatives about your priorities, then SEO work is done. There’s an SEO Toolkit and several SEO consultants around the world who at some point in their career have both understood how to navigate toolbars and interact with websites to make success happen for SEOs.
3. Audit your website for basic SEO problems and fix them
If your website isn’t search engine-friendly, you’re losing potential customers. To improve your site’s SEO, audit it for problems like duplicate content, pages that are broken or missing, or broken links. You can also check your site’s load time and make sure it’s fast and mobile friendly.
If you’re looking to improve a website’s search visibility, like any other website, you’ll want to categorize your keywords. If your website is page-based, you can do this using Schema.org (Read about schema markup here on Search Engine Land). There are also many keyword research tools that help you research the terms and phrases you want to rank for. For instance, Moz’s Keyword Explorer is a good place to start.
Once you’ve identified keywords you want to target, it’s time to think about creating content pages that serve those keywords well.
Fixing content pages
Usually, when it comes to SEO, we’re thinking about site structure and site structure fixes. Formatting your content pages can also have a big impact on rankings, or the lack thereof, depending on the Google algorithm.

While we’re often willing to overlook formatting issues in an effort to attract more traffic, there’s a big difference in making money when your site’s content pages stand out from their product pages. So that leads us to the first thought:
Are your product page titles and descriptions relevant?
After you have categorized your keywords, it’s time to set up lists to prioritize them and decide which page you want to rank for those particular keywords.
To do this, you typically want to use a site search operator or a similar function that lists all of your category terms within a certain range of search results.

Alternatively, the Conductor Indextools plugin for SEO enables you to easily create keyword smart tags that help you target pages quickly and easily.
4. Create new content to keep your website fresh and up-to-date
Websites need to be updated regularly with fresh, new content to stay fresh and up-to-date. If your site hasn’t been updated in the last few months, it’s probably time to re-fresh it with new content.When I say update regularly, I mean it. And as a bonus, you might get a boost to your search engine ranking, too.
2. Step 2 : Test out different keywords and variations
You need to test different keywords and kick them all out of the ringer for the potential keyword planner (KP) to determine which one has the least competition. You can set up some keywords to test out over a period of time. For instance, one keyword I used once was:
Once I put that keyword into the keyword explorer, I tested it for a few days. I recorded the results for the of the keywords I tested. Hopefully, I learned something. Maybe some result in terms of shifts in rankings.
3. Step 3 : Consider adding or removing existing links
Good quality, relevant links can have a significant impact on ranking. Link building is crucial to your keyword strategy. Good quality blogs can be your entryways to other websites because they're worth more than 1,000 articles. These could be guest articles, experts, or any other resource you want. When it comes to adding or removing links, look at the you link with the most authority as a guide. If you have lots of all-round, high authority links, you can focus more on those.
4. Step 4 : Monitor Your Keywords
Track and be responsible for your keyword rankings through best practices and KPIs. This is critical because KPIs tell you where to focus your efforts and determine how effective your strategy is.
Keyword Research : Keyword research can help you find the right target keywords, but only those with a high potential for search.
5. Use off-page SEO with white hat link building
Off-page SEO is the act of building links to your website to increase your domain authority, while white hat link building is the act of building links to your website while following Google’s guidelines.Off-page SEO is a very important aspect of SEO, so it’s definitely something I would say you’ll need to put some significant time into. There are a multitude of ways to approach this, but the most successful strategies call for a combination of manual link building with the help of software in order to get those links placed. Once you’ve lost the “search engine results page” tag on your listing, you can no longer build results for this keyword phrase anymore, so there’s also the additional labor of having to create completely new listings for that keyword phrase. Unbounce, Infusionsoft, Rocketfuel – all of these services have been used successfully by people in all different types of situations and tools, so it’s definitely worth sitting down and asking yourself which services are worth the cost and which just haven’t worked out. For the list of SEO tools, check out my previous Whiteboard Friday post and my guide on the best tools to use for link building. For the list of SEO tools that are free, try out Moz's blog archive. I recommend checking out both comparative lists if you want to see which of these tools have the most positive reviews and compare their features and outlines.
