seo journey

Goal for today:

• tell the JourneyTeam that you’ve finished your very first 14 Days Journey. Share your feedback with Squirrly.

Day 14. Wow! I’m so excited that you’ve made it up until this point. Great job!

I hope that you’ve kept a close eye on Google Analytics and on the Rankings section from Squirrly SEO these days to see how your results increase. Of course, if you didn’t start the Business Trial (from Squirrly SEO – the trial will give you enough time to check your rankings properly) or use a third-party SERP Checker, then GSC might not have had fresh data for you to see. However, I hope it did.

Goal for today:

• Make the satellite pages which link to the Focus Page all Green in Bulk SEO Settings. Give them SEO Context. Re-Index them in GSC.

Congratulations on making it this far on your 14 Days Journey to Better Ranking!

By now, you’ve learned many impressive skills which will help you for years to come.

Google keeps adding more and more parameters to the verifications it makes to determine which websites deserve TOP 10 rankings. That’s why it’s really important you’ve managed to learn how to tweak so many ranking factors during the first 12 days.

Goal for today:

• Get to 1,500 Words. Fix All Issues.

1,500 Words

Try getting your page’s content to 1,500 Word (this is a requirement for turning the element for the Words/Page task green in Focus Pages).

Secret: sometimes, you can do it by adding comments, FAQs, etc. Extra info that still gets indexed by Google and doesn’t ruin the overall keyword optimization with Live Assistant for the main keyword.

Goal for today:

• Send traffic to your Focus Page.

Here’s how you do it.

If you have an Email List: email them about your Focus Page, so that they visit your page and spend time on it (thus creating positive signals for Google through Google Analytics).

Goal for today:

• Inner Links. Satellite Pages. Google Search Console (force re-index).

Check your site for SEO errors again. If you find anything, fix it.

Make sure that the visibility settings are all Green for your Focus Page.

Goal for today:

• SEO Image fix. Bounce Rate fix. Outbound links fix.

^^ these Day 9 fixes are super quick to do by following my recipe.

Otherwise, it would have taken you entire months to do these things manually or figure them out. Most people still don’t know about Google Analytics errors related to time on page and how it can be fixed. This is a super big secret I’m sharing with you because you’ve made the commitment to join the 14 Days Journey to Better Rankings.

Goal for today:

• Performance Analytics and Building Authority for the Focus Page

Performance Analytics

To get started with today’s recipe, you should know a little bit about the Performance Analytics feature (now a part of the Rank Checker).

Goal for today:

• Read your SEO Audit. Start working on improving the score of your Audit.

Sites with scores over 80 have good chances of ranking high on Google. The rest don’t.

In Focus Pages, at the Platform Health factors, we say that you should reach a score of at least 70 (ideally, you would reach a score of 84 or more).

Goal for today:

• Make the Snippet to be ALL Green for your Focus Page, Install Google Analytics and Start Sharing to Social Media

Today is an exciting day where you’ll get to:

• make the snippet Green (and understand why it’s sometimes red)
• install Google Analytics and connect it to Squirrly SEO
• fix time on page readings for your Google Analytics
• start sharing to social media (using proven methods). AND even for cases when you feel that because you don’t have followers, social media sharing is pointless. (I only ask that you are serious when you do this and share messages that make sense, where they make sense)

Goals for today:

• Use Briefcase to structure SEO Context keywords around the main keyword from your Focus Page.
  
• Optimize the Focus Page to at least 30% for the secondary (SEO Context) keywords you select.

Go to the SEO Live Assistant to add the SEO Context keywords to your Focus Page.

Let’s Start with the Theory

If I were to write about “tires”, people could think that I’m writing about a certain product or a certain activity (see? already two different things) that tires you out.

That’s what people could think. That’s what Google’s algorithm could think as well because Google imitates the way human beings process data. That’s what allows it to provide amazing results on SERPs.
