Hey guys, in this video I'm going to talk about a recent blog post I published called
0:04
How to Increase Your SEO Traffic in 30 Days. And this is a popular topic because people that are new to SEO and even have established websites
0:12
they want to get the maximum value out of their SEO efforts in the least bit of time
0:18
And so 30 days is a good enough time to actually implement some strategies that you can start to see quickly
0:24
and even benefit your website over the long term. And so I wrote this content to basically give you a roadmap on how you can do that by using some tips and strategies that I've learned along the way that actually do work
0:37
So if you check out the blog post, you're going to find a 30-day action plan on how to improve SEO on your site
0:44
And so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go through a few of these to kind of explain what you're going to find
0:49
and just to give you some value out of this video so that you can actually take some actionable tips away right now
0:55
that you can do on your site to get some improvements. And again, if you want the full 30-day plan and it's something you want to work on for the next month
1:02
then be sure to check out the blog and just follow it step-by-step, day-by-day, and you're going to see some good results
1:09
So what I'll do is let's start with day one. My first tip here is you want to pick, this is for established sites
1:17
you want to pick your top 30 traffic posts. That's all you're going to do
1:21
You're going to go through your Google ytics, and you're going to find what your top 30 posts are
1:26
And if you don't have 30 yet, that's fine. Just do as much as you can. If you only have 15, use 15
1:31
If you have five, use five. This works. But 30 will get you the most fastest if you have an established site
1:37
So today, just find out what those posts are. Go through ytics, find out which ones have the most views
1:43
and then make a note of what those are. And those are going to be the top pages that you're going to work on
1:47
for the next month to gain more traffic. Because essentially, those pages are already getting traffic
1:54
So what you want to do is you just want to try to tweak them to boost them to give them even more traffic
1:59
And that's easier and faster to do than just trying to take a new page that hasn't ranked for a while
2:04
or doesn't get a lot of traffic. So just focus on that. Try to get your top performing pages
2:09
figure out what those are, and we're going to focus on those. And then in day two, what you're going to do
2:14
is you're going to find out what the right SEO keywords are to increase on that page. So I go through an example of how to do that. You're going to find
2:21
out what keywords that you should be using on those pages and where to put them in the right
2:26
place so you know which ones to increase. And to do that, you're going to use Google Search Console
2:32
and a keyword research tool. And it doesn't matter which one you use. You can use a free one or a
2:37
paid one. I prefer KW Finder by Mangles. It's cheap, it's good, and it works. But you can use
2:43
hrefs, semrush, ubersuggest, it doesn't matter. But essentially what you're going to do is you're
2:51
going to pick one of your top performing URLs of one of those 30 and you're going to plug it into
2:55
your console and you're going to find out what keywords that page is ranking for that you want
3:03
to focus on increasing. So I go through the whole steps on how to do that. You're going to sort by
3:07
impressions, et cetera. And then the same thing you're going to do with a keyword research tool
3:12
is you're going to figure out what perform a search for the main keyword you want to rank for
3:17
and then you want to make a list of related keywords that that page should also be ranking
3:23
for that are related to the term because you may be focusing on one keyword like this one which is how to increase your SEO traffic in 30 days but there going to be related keywords to that main term that you
3:34
also want to use on the page. So day two is just finding out what those words are. Use those two
3:39
sources, a keyword tool, free or paid, and Google search console as I explained in the post and then
3:45
you're just going to get that set of keywords and you do that for all 30 pages so you know what to
3:49
do on day three. So day three is essentially just adding those keywords to the page if you don't
3:57
have them already. So if you don't have a keyword that you should have on the page, my suggestion
4:03
is to just add it three or four times inside the content on the page, depending on how long that
4:08
page is. And then essentially what you're going to do is rinse and repeat that for all 30 posts
4:13
So if you're seeing a theme here, essentially what you're going to do is I'm going to give you some
4:17
tips and you're going to do that for all 30 pages each day. So by the end of the 30 days
4:22
you have optimized and done all these different strategies for all of your pages within the 30
4:27
days. And then you're going to maximize their value when it comes to rankings
4:32
Day four, I'll hit up day four. This is one of my favorites, which is you want to compare your
4:38
content to the competition. So if you're not ranking the highest you can, if you're not in
4:42
the number one spot or even up to number five, you're going to want to do a search for your
4:47
keyword phrase that one of your pages you want to rank for, and you want to find out who's ranking
4:51
in those top five spots. And then you want to examine their content, and you want to find out
4:55
what do they have on the page that I don't. And that's going to give you a clear indication on
5:00
what content you need to add into your page so that you can be serving the user in the best way
5:06
possible. Because essentially, Google's giving you the answer on what it wants to rank high
5:11
You're going to find often that the top pages between one and five have similar content with similar headings and similar things
5:19
And if you're not including those things, then you're missing out. So on this day, day four, you're just going to go through and examine your competitors and find out what content do they have they're talking about that my page doesn't have
5:30
And then that's what you're going to include in your content to make sure that you are meeting that search intent for that query
5:40
Day five, you're going to improve your SEO title tags. What I mean by that is you have certain keywords you want to rank for
5:48
and you need to make sure that those keywords are in your meta title. And so on this day, you're going to go through and fix all of your meta titles
5:56
so that they have those keywords if they're not present already. And you're also going to make sure that they're as close as possible
6:02
to the beginning of that meta title tag to give it the most strength for that keyword
6:07
Having your keyword at the end of that tag isn't going to be as beneficial as having it in the beginning because it's a stronger signal to Google
6:14
Now let me just skip ahead a little bit. I'm not going to go on every day, but let's jump ahead to about day 15, improve your page speed
6:27
So Google has confirmed that page speed is going to be a ranking factor
6:32
so everybody's talking about how to improve that you know through using plugins and how to
6:38
you know put images on the page etc how to adjust things with the core web vitals etc etc if you've
6:46
heard that stuff talking about everybody's talking about it but speed's basically a ranking factor
6:50
and so on this day what you going to do is you going to go through and you just going to check out the speed of your pages and you going to look for ways to improve them So hopefully you can do that yourself through adding a caching plugin or you know changing the layout on the page of things maybe using less images or less videos if
7:08
you don't need them, et cetera. But essentially on day 15 and 16, you're going to look at those
7:13
core web vitals and you're going to find ways to improve them. And I give some tips on how to do that here in the blog post and I even link out to some resources. But that's a crucial thing to do
7:22
That's just the way the web's going. It's all about speed these days. You want information fast
7:27
So make sure that your website is as fast as possible for the user so they can get that information
7:32
And that's what you're going to do in these two days. Let's see what else I can share with you
7:39
Day 19 is all about finding guest post opportunities. If you've never heard of guest posting, essentially that's when you write a blog on another person's website
7:47
and the whole purpose of that is to share content on another person's platform
7:53
use that to get a piece of their audience to come back to your site, and get a backlink
7:59
And so on this day, you're going to go out and you're going to find some opportunities for guest posts
8:03
so you can make a list of that of places you can reach out to. And I give you some search operators that you can use in Google to find sites for that
8:12
so you don't have to pay for any tool or anything like that to do this for you
8:17
and then on day 20 you're essentially just going to write some guest posts
8:22
just spend the day doing that so that you have some posts ready and available so when the people
8:27
contact you back that you can just send that immediately and you're done with it i talk about
8:32
yzing your competitor backlinks how you can use that to your advantage and then let's see what
8:39
else i got if you don't have social media accounts on day 25 i mentioned you should set those up and
8:46
I give some recommendations on where you should do Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit
8:51
You know, those are the popular ones where you can actually drop a link. So go ahead and get those set up
8:56
That's all you're going to do on day 25. There's nothing else. It's a pretty simple day. If you haven't set up, then you're already good
9:02
And then essentially day 26, you're going to post SEO optimized content and links on those accounts
9:09
And what I mean by that is a lot of people just drop a link to their blog post on these social accounts, and that's all they do
9:18
But you can actually add some better signals by actually putting the keywords you want that page to rank for inside the tweet or the Facebook post, etc., or the Reddit post
9:29
You want to put your keywords around that link so that you're essentially giving a signal around that backlink that that's what it should be ranked for
9:37
And so that's something a lot of people don't talk about. You know, that's an easy way. You know, don't just say, here's my latest blog post, you know, like this one
9:44
I wouldn't just say, here's my latest blog post, check it out. I would say, hey, do you want to learn how to increase your SEO traffic in 30 days
9:52
If so, you can speed up your rankings with this post. Check out my one month, 30 day SEO plan
9:59
So I've essentially used three or four keywords just in that social post description, which
10:04
is in surrounding my link. so that I'm trying to help send signals to Google
10:10
that when they're crawling different things on the web that, oh, this is about this
10:14
Yeah, it definitely is. Let's give it more weight that that's what it's about
10:19
So use that tip whenever you're writing a social post. And then I kind of round out the end of the 30 days by creating a YouTube channel kind of like I done here If you not comfortable with video don worry You know you don even have to get on camera like this
10:35
What you can do is I want you to take your top 30 performing posts, and you're essentially just going to turn those into videos
10:41
And you can do that in a variety of ways. You can basically go to, like, a site like Fiverr
10:47
if you've never heard of that, it's basically a site where you can pay, you know, five bucks or
10:52
higher to have someone do some work for you. And so there's tons of people out there that will take
10:57
your text from your blog post and they'll just put it into like a slideshow. If you like PowerPoint
11:03
or even use iMovie, you can use that. If you want to do the work yourself, essentially you're just
11:08
going to make a slideshow with the text on the video and then inside the description of the video
11:14
on YouTube, you're going to do a link back to your site. So you're just trying to get that free
11:18
backlink from Google through YouTube, which is a Google property. And if you are comfortable in
11:22
video, like doing something like this, then go ahead and do that. You can add more value to the
11:26
internet by doing so. But I give you some tips on how to do that easily if you don't want to mess
11:32
with doing a video like this and how to speed up the process. So on day 28, you're going to work on
11:38
that. And then day 29, you're just going to upload the videos and optimize the descriptions for SEO
11:46
to get the most value on Google through YouTube. And then day 30, I essentially say, just finish
11:52
your outstanding tasks. You may not get through everything every day, so this is just going to be
11:59
a day that you can kind of tie up any loose ends, or if you've done most of it all, just kind of
12:04
relax. And then I even just give you a couple tips on day 30 and beyond on what you should do
12:10
So I hope that this information was valuable to you. Those are just some of the tips on what this
12:15
30-day plan does. But go check it out because you're going to see day by day what you should do
12:21
so that by the end of 30 days, you have maximized the value of SEO on those top 30 posts on your
12:28
site. And again, if you don't have 30, you have 15 or five, still do this. And then what you do
12:33
is you'll get into a routine. And then as you produce more content, it'll just become a cycle
12:38
and you'll know what to do and you'll be able to crank this stuff out much faster
12:42
A lot of these 30 steps, I can crank out in a day or two. I don't have to spend 30 days
12:47
because I'm accustomed to this plan. I know what it is. I know how it works
12:51
