(Missed it? No worries! Listen Here!)

Ready to make your SEO work for you?Ā 

šŸ‘‡šŸ½ Letā€™s dive in. šŸ‘‡šŸ½

šŸ’Ž Key Takeaways:

1ļøāƒ£ Google Search Console = Your SEO Goldmine

šŸ” Google Search Console (GSC) isnā€™t just a data hubā€”itā€™s your secret weapon for seeing exactly how people find your website. But did you know you can unlock even deeper insights with the Enhanced Analytics Chrome Extension? šŸ˜±

šŸš€ Pro Tip: Install the GSC Enhanced Analytics extension (Chrome-only!) to unlock advanced data views

šŸ’„ Action Step: Check your top-performing pages and compare their performance over time. Do any need a content update? šŸ¤”

2ļøāƒ£ Keyword Research: Smarter, Not Harder

Instead of chasing broad, generic keywords (water heater šŸ”„šŸ˜“), think action-basedā€”like water heater installation (boom! šŸ’„).

Why? These show intent to purchase. šŸ›ļø

šŸ’„ Action Step: Use GSC filters to find high-intent keywords.

3ļøāƒ£ Competitor Research = Your Shortcut to SEO Wins

šŸ’” Ever wonder what keywords your competitors are ranking for that youā€™re not? Thatā€™s where Keyword Gap Analysis comes in.

šŸ”„ Crystalā€™s Favorite Tool: Dragon Metrics (but Semrush & Ahrefs work too!)

šŸ“Š How it works:
1ļøāƒ£ Run a Keyword Gap Analysis to see what your competitors rank for that you donā€™t.
2ļøāƒ£ Identify "easy win" topics
3ļøāƒ£ Create new blog posts, landing pages, or optimize existing pagesĀ
