It's a simple plan paired with consistent execution.
To succeed, view SEO through the proper lens -- building equity into online presence.
It takes time & effort.
The 5-Step Simple SEO Strategy:
Identify the search terms that have a combination of search volume & intent.
Intent = why is this being searched?
Information: Shoes
Brand: Nike Shoes
Purchase: Best basketball shoes
Mix in all 3 -- to drive traffic & conversions.
The further down the funnel, the less volume, but higher purchasing intent.
Insert keywords into the proper places, so search engines understand site topic and target keywords.
- Page Titles
- Meta Descriptions
- Alt Text
- Content Structure (H1/H2/H3)
These are signals that algorithms use as information to influence rankings.
Without signaling algorithms, they can't understand the content well enough to recommend a site.
The image below shows the right places to insert most on-page elements.
The act of getting other websites to link back to yours -- to improve perceived authority with search engines.
Higher authority = higher rankings
There are 3 types of links:
Contextual: Another sites content has a link pointing back to your site. The link is embedded under brand name or keyword.
Guest Posting: Share high-value content to other sites in your niche to post.
Improve rankings by making it easy for search engines & humans to use your site.
Includes:
- Fast load
- Robots.txt file set up properly
- No broken links
- No duplicate content
- Structured data (for additional context)
- Clear URL structure/sitemap
XML sitemaps are directions for Google to interpret website pages correctly.
Failing to upload makes it harder to get indexed & ranked by Google.
At its core, it's about good user experience & making it possible to be crawled.
Technical SEO will require some ongoing maintenance as search engine protocols change frequently.
Create 1500 words of content per week & traffic will skyrocket.
Content should have optimal on-page structure & be targeted at both direct and tangential topics.
Include target keywords in the URL, Title, H1, ALT text & provide supporting content.
Focus on creating useful content that includes custom infographics, links to other sites & calls to action.
For multi-location or local service businesses, build local pages unique to each geography.
This will help rank for local keywords like:
"Junk Removal NYC"
Large companies do this exceptionally well.
Local content feels personalized & signals that the company operates in that area - making it a trusted option.
Highly, highly recommend investing the time to build out local pages if applicable.
But how can you get started?
Here is the stack of tools I use:
Search impression/click data directly from Google.
Yoast for:
Top SEO plugin for WordPress, enabling easy implementation.
Google Page Speed Insights for:
Information on site speed and technical factors.
I will dive deeper into each step - but this high-level overview is the place to start.
SEO takes time & effort - but the payoff is worth it.
The best time to start was 10 years ago, the second best time is today!

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x
The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x
Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x
The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x
It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
As someone\u2019s who\u2019s read the book, this review strikes me as tremendously unfair. It mostly faults Adler for not writing the book the reviewer wishes he had! https://t.co/pqpt5Ziivj

Following @BAUDEGS I have experienced hateful and propagandist tweets time after time. I have been shocked that an academic community would be so reckless with their publications. So I did some research.
The question is:
Is this an official account for Bahcesehir Uni (Bau)?
Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website https://t.co/ztzX6uj34V which links to their social media, leading to their Twitter account @Bahcesehir
BAU’s official Twitter account
BAU has many departments, which all have separate accounts. Nowhere among them did I find @BAUDEGS
