Best regards,
1. Start your SEO work as soon as possible
Some businesses invest months to create good content for their audience. This is a good thing. However, good content won't help you if search engines and your audience cannot find it.
Content creation and SEO are two things that you should do at the same time. If you create your website content with your visitors and search engines in mind, you will save a lot of time and work.
2. Start with low-competition keywords
If your website doesn't have high rankings for other keywords yet, it is important that you start with low-competition keywords. New websites don't get high rankings for competitive keywords. Older websites with many links and high quality have a major advantage when it comes to competitive keywords.
If you start with competitive keywords, it will take extremely long until you see results. Start with low-competition keywords that are very targeted. It is much easier to get results with these keywords. As soon as you have high rankings for low-competition keywords, it will become much easier to get ranked for more competitive keywords.
The keyword tools in SEOprofiler help you to find the keywords that work best with your website.
3. Focus on visitors with the right intent
Search engine optimization is about creating content and links that attract the right audience. The intention of the searcher is very important. If a person is looking for something that you don't offer, it doesn't make sense to get listed for the search term.
Focus on search terms that attract people who are willing to spend money on your website. Focusing on these targeted keywords will save you a lot of time and money. Further information about this topic can be found here.
4. Check the 'invisible' parts of your website
Many 'invisible' things on your website can influence the rankings of your web pages. The most obvious things are web page titles, meta descriptions, the alternative texts of images, etc.
All of these things can influence the position of a web page on the search result pages. Other things such as the HTTP response code that a web page sends can block search engines from your website.
SEOprofiler offers many tools that help you to optimize these elements. For example, the Top 10 Optimizer tool helps you to optimize the different parts of a web page so that it ranks well for the chosen search term.
The website audit tool identifies technical errors that have a negative influence on your rankings. The website audit tool also shows you how to correct these errors.
5. Work on external AND internal links
The links from other other websites that point to your own website are one of the most important factors in Google's ranking algorithm. In the past, it was possible to get high rankings by getting as many links as possible. These times are over.
Nowadays, you need good links from related website. A few good links are much better than many low quality links. The link analysis tools and the link building tools in SEOprofiler help you to improve the links that point to your website.
In addition to the links from external website, you should also take a look at the internal links on your site. If the internal links on your site use the right words, you can improve the rankings of your web pages for these words.
6. Track your results
Of course, you should track your results to find out if your SEO campaigns are successful or not. Compare your rankings to the rankings of your competitors to find out which strategy works best.
Different keywords might require different strategies. The Ranking Monitor in SEOprofiler helps you to analyze the rankings of your own web pages, and the rankings of your competitors.
7. Do not spam
It might be tempting to use shortcuts. Unfortunately, all of these shortcuts will get your website penalized by Google sooner or later. Do not participate in link schemes, do not buy links, and do not stuff keywords on your web pages.
Modern search engine ranking algorithms are quite intelligent. They are good at spotting manipulated pages. Do not spam. Focus on producing content that satisfies the needs of targeted website visitors. This will lead to much better results.
