How to build killer SEO.
8 steps to dominate Google Search for your niche:
1. Get Your Website to Run 3x Faster
Increased site speed = better SEO and better visitor retention
Easily do this by:
• Using WP Rocket: a WordPress plugin that optimizes your website
• Using Smush: compress all the images on your site
2. Identify Your Keywords
Create a keyword research sheet → a list of the top keywords for your product.
Find top keywords by:
• Running competitors through “Organic Research” on SEMrush
• Running these top keywords through UberSuggest, which gives you more keywords
3. Create Unique SEO Landing Pages
Build unique landing pages for each use-case your business may tackle.
For example, a content agency might have individual pages for:
• LinkedIn optimization
• Twitter content
• Social media management
4. Create a Comprehensive Content Outline
Optimize:
• Target word count: Aim for 1.5x-2x your competitor
• Header structure: 2-3 changes from your competitor
• What to write about: Browse Reddit + Quora and look for common, repeated questions
5. Write Great Content
Your content can be optimized, but it needs to be great to truly compete.
• Know your audience
• Use Grammarly & Hemingway
• Avoid fluff, every sentence should add value
• Hire great writers from ProBlogger / Cult of Copy
6. Intensive Link-Building
In a competitive niche, links are going to be the deciding factor in what ranks.
Learn:
• Guest posting
• "Linkable asset"
• Broken link building
• Skyscraper technique
7. Link-Build via Communities
Find where your target audience hangs out → Subreddits, Hacker News
Identify the type of content they love → Content on SEO tactics.
Create great content → Write a 14k-word article with 30+ tactics.
Promote it via the groups.
8. Keep Track of Rankings & Make Improvements
You’re never really “done” with SEO.
Continue to maintain your:
• Analytics
• Backlinks
• Internal links
• Content quality
And scale!
