We know you’re here for SEO tips so today we double down on an area overlooked by all too many: content creation.

Maybe you want to create your own content but you need some tips to help you sharpen up your writing.

Perhaps you want to outsource your content creation but you want to know what you’re talking about when you’re hiring a writer.

Either way, grab a copy of Everybody Writes, a great primer on writing copy that converts.

 Don’t have the time for that?

Put the tips covered in today’s podcast into practice and see a huge difference.

All you need to do is think about the following simple markers: 

·       Know your audience

·       Write as if you’re talking to a friend

·       Embrace white space

·       Use the active voice

·       Content should be as long as it needs to be

·       Use Grammarly as a guide

·       Hire a writer but recognize the important of an SEO strategy

Know your audience

This might sound obvious, but you need to be talking to the right people. 

We help a number of recovery centers so we’re producing content targeted squarely at female decision-makers. We’re also ensuring that we make technical or complicated content easy to read for everyone.

That approach is flipped on its head when we’re working with tech companies.

All that counts here is talking to your customers directly and in the way they’re accustomed to being addressed.

 And this brings us to the next point: keep it personal.

Calling all freelancers and influencers: have you tried the new Google People Cards?

Launched on Tuesday, these virtual business cards are slowly rolling out now. They make it easy for you to showcase your business online. 

People Cards are aimed firmly at entrepreneurs and influencers just like you and me. 

Easy to set up, you can include a website link, your social profiles, email address, and phone number (optional). Make it easy for anyone to reach out to you with worthwhile business opportunities.

So, I predict People Cards will come to rival Google My Business.

As an SEO, I always keep uppermost in mind that Google’s core goal is to ensure users find helpful and valuable information. With People Cards you can cut through the spam and find reliable, full contact information for prospective clients. You can also promote your own business and make it easier to be found. 

Today, I’m also letting you know that we’re back in business. With lockdowns coming in waves and everything up in the air, now is a better time than ever to focus on getting your website and business found.

We’ll be back soon with more breaking SEO news.

In this episode, I walk you through all aspects of technical SEO. Many people think they can write content, target keywords, and obtain backlinks, but that is not the case. Technical SEO provides a foundation for growth on your website.

But first, technical SEO is the practice of implementing proper website techniques to provide a foundation for your website. It includes sitemaps, eliminating 300, 400, and 500 errors on your website.

Now enough chatter here is 5 common mistakes I see when I audit for technical SEO.

#1 Sitemap errors are dreadful. Websites use a sitemap to tell Google what to specifically crawl on a website. If you have technical errors on your website there is no chance, Google will see your sitemap as authoritative. First things first, please make sure non of these errors on your sitemap right now.

#2 404 Errors are webpages that are not found on your website. There are three core ways 404 errors happen on websites. You delete a page and do nothing with the URL, move a URL to a new one, or forget to redirect URLs.

The way you can fix this is by using a technical SEO tool like screaming frog. Go to c-pannel or wherever you write your redirects and fix them.

#3 Redirect strategy sucks. Only use 301 redirects. 302’s show you’re not confident in what you’re doing as a website owner. Now this might be controversial to other SEOs and web developer/ Don

#4 Website migration strategy sucks. Too often I see websites not plan adequately enough for website risks. They have no back-ups in place, they don’t manage the robots.txt file, and they do not implement redirects properly. The worst is they do not check for broken backlinks.

#5 Implementation of HTTP is crucial. When you flip the switch from HTTP to https there are a lot of technical SEO errors that occur. The first thing to think about it internal links and backlinks. Yes, if you have 10,000 internal links to HTTP you must invest time to change them.

Bonus: 

The bonus tip is redirect chains. A redirect chain is a webpage directing to a webpage, directing to another webpage. There are three pages all pointing to a final destination. A LAZY website practice. You can fix this by eliminating the first redirect and pointing it to the final destination.
