Did you make these SEO mistakes too? π§
Hi Reader,
Last month, I got 19 inquiries from website owners.
I've recently finished giving tips on what they should do to grow their websites in organic search results.
These are all amazing content creators trying to grow their businesses. π
However, I've noticed most of them had the same mistakes, which resulted in organic traffic 0 and a drop in rankings:
1οΈβ£ Many website pages were not indexed (as a result, they did not rank on Google)
2οΈβ£ They did not target any keywords
3οΈβ£ No SEO optimization strategies were used
4οΈβ£ On-page user experience was poor
5οΈβ£ They did not know how to communicate their expertise to support their SEO efforts
Some websites had over 1000 pages, where half were not even ranking on Google. π±
Can you imagine going through every broken page and fixing it to rank?
It will take time and cost decent money.
Instead, they could have consulted with an SEO specialist once before launching a website to ensure no major errors would follow.
If you work on a new niche website, check out my article on how to do SEO for a new website.
I've also created a fluff-free SEO Checklist for New Websites to ensure your website is ready to rank high on Google. π
Have a great day!
