Google uses algorithms to determine which webpage is most relevant, in combination with a specific keyword. With SEO, you try to get your website to become more relevant in Google’s eyes.

    • Unknown as SEO is difficult to understand
    • Unknown, as you don’t know what SEO is yet

    Our Current SEO optimisation is very good. We work on and monitor it on a daily basis. We went from 0 to 50% optimisation in 3 months. Our search impressions also went from 0 to 1.58k in the same period.

    We used to wonder why we were not getting a return on investment from our website until we realised there was something we were not doing. SEO. Now that we are doing it regularly, we are happy with the outcome

        Sorry for the late response. We use rank math

          Great, I’d definitely say RankMath is one of the better SEO plugins for WordPress!

            Congratulations. My SEO doesn’t currently add value to my business. I used to wonder why my site’s always had few numbers of visitors until I come here. I think I can make improvements

    Does google analytics also show the SEO rankings or you just have to instal a seo snippet in your website?

      Hi @ruth-nattabi , Google Analytics can show some basic ranking data when it’s connected to Google Search Console. So, you’ll need to connect search console to your website first. You can also use other tools to get a broader view on your SEO performance. One I’d advise is Ahrefs, who have quite an extensive free tool!

    Work in progress, taking time to review content on website and making changes but I would say it’s improved for the better.

      Hi Angela, good job working on your SEO and taking your time. Good SEO is not something to be done in a day or 2. Using a Site Audit tool might give you some easy improvement tips (e.g. SEOptimer).

      Hi Samantha, a good first step is to create a content calendar! This helps you to schedule what content you are going to create, who is going to be responsible and when you will be posting. You can lighten the individual workload by assigning different topics to specific team members. You can read more on creating a content calendar on: https://backlinko.com/hub/content/calendar.

    Hi Rik, This is a very important topic for me I do have my website up and running but my Web Designers did SEO I think they use Google Console. I don’t think the method they use is effective as I haven’t seen any improvement to my sight. I need some advise. Can you visit my website? http://www.sanoutours.com

    Be critical. I would appreciate it.

    Thanks Rik

    -The SEO has helped me to prove the importance and valve of our product.

    -It has also helped to increase the visibility, drive more traffic to the website ultimately lead to more bookings, increasing marketing.

    -Improves website usability.

    -helps you reach more people.

    The challenges i have experienced with SEO

    -it is time consuming

    it can suffer as part of siloed marketing approach.

    Our SEO is okay but we don’t work on it regularly. We make use of keywords and meta tags on contents but we are not consistent with it.

    We are currently considering hiring a web content manager with SEO skills to get it right.

      Hi Hasan, good on hiring a content manager! This can make a big difference for your overall online presence as a business. Finding someone who has both SEO skills and is familiar with social media marketing would be a great pro. Also, analytical skills come in useful to measure performance!
