How to do Search Engine Optimization?

While the concept of SEO is relatively straightforward, a newcomer to SEO should learn how does Google determines which pages to return in response to what people search for?

1. SEO Audit

At the start, you can check for issues and uncover easy-to-fix problems, analyze organic search traffic, backlink analysis, by performing an SEO audit.

SEO audit is the best way to figure out why your website is not getting the optimal SEO results. A thoroughly done SEO audit is nothing but uncovers various reasons, why does an SEO campaign not performing, to its fullest potential. Check out the advanced step-by-step checklist of SEO audit.

Website Audit consists of 4 steps in detail from an SEO perspective:

  • Accessibility
  • Indexability
  • On-Page Ranking Factors
  • Off-Page Ranking Factors

Let’s get started!

Accessibility

If search engines and users can’t access your site, it might as well not exist. With that in mind, we make sure whether your site’s pages are accessible or not.

  • Robots.txt: The robots Meta tag is used to tell search engine crawlers if they are allowed to index a specific page and follow its links.
  • Robots Meta Tags: The robots Meta tag is used to tell search engine crawlers if they are allowed to index a specific page and follow its links.
  • HTTP Status Code: Search engines and users are unable to access your site’s content if you have URLs that return errors (i.e., 4xx and 5xx HTTP status codes). This status includes soft 404 errors and broken URL’s corresponding page.
  • XML Sitemap: Your site’s XML Sitemap provides a road map for search engine crawlers to ensure they can easily find all of your site’s pages.
  • Site Architecture: Your site architecture defines the overall structure of your website, including its vertical depth (how many levels it has) as well as its horizontal breadth at each level.
  • Site Performance: Search engine crawlers and users both have a very limited attention span, and if your site takes too long to load, they will leave. So the sites that load quickly are crawled more thoroughly and more consistently than slower ones. The tool used to check site performance is GT Metrix. Check performance of Website in GTmetrix

Indexability

We identify the pages that search engines are allowed to access. Next, we determine how many of those pages are actually being indexed by the search engines.

  • Site Command: The “site:” command allows us to look at indexability from a very high level. Now, we need to be a little more granular. Specifically, we need to make sure the search engines are indexing the site’s most important pages.
  • Page Searches: If we found your website high priority pages in the index while performing “site:” queries then it’s fine otherwise we need to search for a specific page’s URL to check if it has been indexed. To index the website URL, we perform link building tasks include Social Bookmarking, Ping Submission, Citation Submission.
  • Brand Searches: If your website appears at the top of the results, all is well with the universe. On the other hand, if you don’t see your website listed, the site might be penalized, and it’s time to investigate further. To create brand awareness, we use Brand Name in Meta Tags and perform link building strategy, Social media promotions, Content Promotion.
  • Search Engine Penalties: The website might be penalized by the Search Engine Algorithm if pages are completely de-indexed or we lose significant traffic.
  • Cache: Google takes a snapshot of each page it examines and caches (stores) that version as a back-up. The cached version is what Google uses to judge if a page is a good match for your query. It supports the deep crawling of your site.

On-Page Ranking Factors

  • Web URL: Since a URL is the entry point to a page’s content, it’s a logical place to begin our on-page analysis.
  • URL-based Duplicate Content or Canonical Tag: URLs are often responsible for the majority of duplicate content on a website because every URL represents a unique entry point into the site. If two distinct URLs point to the same page (without the use of redirection), search engines believe two distinct pages exist.
  • Keyword Stuffing: You want to include keywords in your content, but you don’t want to go overboard.
  • Meta Title: A page’s title is its single most identifying characteristic. It’s what appears first in the search engine results, and it’s often the first thing people notice in social media. Thus, it’s extremely important to evaluate the titles on your site.
  • Meta Description: A page’s Meta description doesn’t explicitly act as a ranking factor, but it does affect the page’s click-through rate in the search engine results.
  • Image ALT Tags: A picture might say a thousand words to users, but for search engines, pictures are mute. Therefore, your site needs to provide image Metadata so that search engines can participate in the conversation.
  • H1 / H2 Tags: H1 and H2 tags are the main headings of the website after the website Title.
  • Google Webmaster Verification: With them, you can check how your site is indexed (Webmaster Tool), get detailed statistics (Analytics Tool). This will help us to check the crawl errors of the website on a continuous basis.
  • Google Analytics: Google Analytics can be a valuable tool for monitoring and tracking the efficiency of your online campaigns and get the best results in your marketing efforts. And it looks like you’re using Google Analytics to measure your website.
  • Internal Duplicate Content

Off-Page Ranking Factors

The on-page ranking factors play an important role in your site’s position in the search engine rankings, but they’re only one piece of a much bigger puzzle.Website Popularity: The most popular sites aren’t always the most useful, but their popularity allows them to influence more people and attract even more attention.

There are two major types of SEO you need for a well-rounded organic search strategy: on-page SEO and off-page SEO.

On-Page SEO

Let’s dive into On-Page SEO, the practice of crafting web pages that answer searcher’s questions.

Google uses the on-page content in order to work out what the page is about. Let’s start:

1. Optimizing URLs for SEO: Make your URLS search friendly, sensible and human readable. It can be broken down into domain name, category, sub category and page. Use hyphens for separating words and underscores for a single phrase. Implement redirect on old URL to new URL to save your value.

2. Optimizing Page Titles: Create a page title by striking a balance between readability and SEO. Using the ‘info’ command in Google, then putting in the page URL, will show your page title. Google has a limited the page title into 65-70 characters or you can say 512 pixels. Make sure you use core terms within your title. Make sure your keywords appear at the beginning to give them additional weight.

3. Optimize Page Descriptions for a better Click Through Rate: Page descriptions have a big influence on how much traffic comes through to the page. Length is once again restricted to 156 characters. Don’t forget to place keywords naturally in the descriptions.

4. Optimizing Page Headings for SEO: Header tags are an active ranking factor and can be used as both, for styling and as an SEO element. Google knows that headings are used to denote a summary of the following section, like mini titles for each section within the content. So it makes sense that Google would place extra weight on the words used within those headings. Open a primary heading tag like this

5. Optimize your Content to Rank Better: “Content is King” is an old saying but it is one of the most influential ranking factors. Try to implement keywords within the content to bridge the intent of the searcher and the information shown on-page.

Make sure the keywords should be placed naturally in the first 100 words of content.

Make sure your main keywords appear at least once, with closely matching terms being used throughout.

Use LSI keywords in the content to make sure you have keywords closely related to the search term throughout the content

Ideally, you would have at least 800 words of focused content on a page

Optimize images by implementing the image alt tag using keywords related to the information on-page.

6. Domain: Exact match domains may not carry the weight they previously did, but it’s still a strong signal the domain and page within it are highly relevant.

But not every website gain that popularity and to improve your reach online, you need to focus on various aspects of SEO. Use important tips to increase your SEO results.

Improve Page Loading Speed

Google has indicated site speed (and as a result, page speed) is one of the signals used by its algorithm to rank pages. The purpose is not only to fulfill the need of Google but to give a better user experience.

1. Enable compression: Resize the CSS, HTML, and JavaScript files that are larger than 150 bytes with the help of file compression software, Gzip.

2. Optimize CSS, JavaScript, and HTML: Remove spaces, commas, and other unnecessary characters, code comments, formatting, and unused code can increase your page load speed.

3. Try to Avoid Redirects: Avoid page redirect to another page. Each redirect takes additional time waiting for the HTTP request-response cycle to complete.

4. Leverage browser caching: Sometimes the browser takes a lot of time to load the entire page. Use a tool like YSlow to see if you already have an expiration date set for your cache.

5. Remove render-blocking JavaScript: Browsers have to build a DOM tree by parsing HTML before they can render a page. If your browser encounters a script during this process, it has to stop and execute it before it can continue.

6. Use a content distribution network: Use networks for servers that are used to distribute the load of delivering content.

Creating High-Quality Content

Content is highly responsible to drive more traffic to your website and increase its popularity. Create FRESH content ideas which will improve the Dwell time and reduce bounce rate. This will impact your SEO ranking in a positive manner.

Optimize Images

Images play an important role in content creation. Though Google finds it difficult to understand what the image is all about? So, images should be optimized properly in terms of format, size. Resize or compress your images to optimize them. You can add alternate text or “ alt” text to images.

HTTPS

Get an HTTPS certificate from a certification authority that verifies the ownership of the web address. Users are becoming savvier with how they browse and share information. With privacy becoming a main concern of many online users, maintaining a secure website is key. Make sure crawlers can read your certificate in robots.txt files. Avoid using the noindex meta tag to ensure search engines are able to index your pages.

Sitemap

The sitemap is the blueprint of the website that has the architecture of the site, valuable metadata of the pages listed in the sitemap, and specific types of content on the pages of the website. XML sitemap gives a signal to Google to count the pages included in the sitemap to be of high-quality and worthy of indexing.

Backlinks

Yes, backlinks have major support to the websites. Search Engine count votes from high-quality backlinks from high authority sites. The backlink strategy is already discussed above.

Canonical Tags

These are used if the website has duplicate pages. You add this tag to help search engines identify which URL to consider as the master page among the duplicates.

Mobile Optimization

Optimize your website for mobile and make it responsive to all types of screens and orientations. Avoid using FLASH. The text should be clear and legible. Minimize intrusive ads and try to use ads at the bottom of the page.

Duplicate Content

Inspect your site for duplicate content. Duplicate content confuses users as well as search engines. Use the rel=” canonical” tag to specify which URL serves as a copy of the original and set up a 301 redirect. Use unique content for your webpage and metadata.

Use Appropriate Language

Understand the difference between American and British English language in terms of spelling, word usage, and expressions. Use the tool Grammarly to keep on checking for grammatical and spelling errors, proper punctuation, word choice, and style when writing.
