Top 5 SEO Tips

SEO optimization is critical if you want lots of organic traffic, and to simply grow your website. We have consolidated the top 10 essential ranking factors so you can rank as high as possible.

1) Site Speed

If your website is slow, it ruins the user experience and anyone who clicks your website from a search engine will go back (bounce) which will negatively reduce your rankings. 40% of people will abandon your site if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load.

You can measure your site speed with PageSpeed Insights which will give you data for mobile and desktop. It will also tell you any errors with your site and how to fix them.

2) Backlinks

Backlinks are when other websites link to yours from their pages. For example, if a blog is writing about coffee machines they might put a link to your website in so the reader can view the products you sell. Search engine crawlers will then trust your site more increasing rankings.

If other sites mention your website but don't put a link to it, reach out to them and ask them to add one. It will benefit your website in many ways.

3) Google Search Console

Google Search Console can give you data about what keywords you rank for and tell you how your current strategy is working out. We recommend using this at all times.

4) Write relevant titles and meta descriptions

One of the most important SEO tips that most people ignore is a high-quality meta description.  The meta description is the very first piece of text people will see when a search engine shows your page, so it is very important to get right.

5) Write for humans and search engines second

The Google algorithm gets smarter by the day using human input. There is no loophole to outsmart a search engine, so don't try. You must write for humans first. No buts.
