Let’s get started…
Benchmark: Need to benchmark EXACTLY how Google view your website and digital footprint right now, before you touch a thing!
Make sense?
We do, because how can we get bragging rights when we do SEO and get results if we don’t know where we started.
Google Index Check:
- Go to your website
- Copy and Paste URL
- Go to google.com.au type in
‘site:’ followed by URL and hit search
The – About xxx results – is how many pages Google has indexed of your website.
Benchmark Step 1 done.
Go to > https://gtmetrix.com/ – make sure you are logged in so test runs on Australia
Screenshot the results and save them in the same folder.
Benchmark Step 2 done.
Make sure you have Google tracking code, called Universal Analytics > UA Code:
Right click on teh background of your website, Check for existing Google ‘UA’ tracking code [ctrl > F > ua-]
How do Google even know what to rank your website for?
- Meta data
- On page elements
- Content
Many other factors, backlinks, directory listings, etc
Meta Data Check
Your Title and Description are the first indicators to Google of what you want to be known for
Title and Description are known as meta data
Here’s the tool I use – SEO META in 1 CLICK
PLUS I will review some of your site in just a moment
** I will be looking for volunteers
For a good first impression, they should be the right length:
- Meta titles: max 70 characters, including spaces
- Meta descriptions: ideally between 150 and 170 characters, including spaces
If you make them too long, Google might cut them off.
If you make them too short, they might not give all the information Google and your visitors need.
IMPORTANT!
Google don’t rank websites, they rank web pages, page by page.
So your home page will be known for one keyword, or set of 3. Other pages should then be set for other keywords
** VOLUNTEERS
You need to understand. This is you now having a conversation with Google Bots telling them what you want to be known for.
It is NOT the END of SEO, just the beginning.
Then you need to look at what is know as ‘on page SEO’
Titles, same as in Word Docs, exist on your pages
