Here’s how you can identify & grow your #SEOsuperhero abilities too

STRENGTH

VISION

Always start with a competitive analysis to discover & capitalize on strengths &

weaknesses

LOWER BUT SPECIFIC AUTHORITY

LOW AUTHORITY LESS RESOURCES

SMALL PROPERTY WITH LESS CONTENT

Every site, big or small, have strengths & weaknesses: your competition analysis should be driven by them

Assess & compare your current search performance vs your competitors one

Understanding what’s making them win not only from a ranking but overall visibility & popularity perspective

As well as current weaknesses causes by analyzing former losses

Segmenting not only per query type & areas but also per device

To strategically target those where you can easily win and allocate resources to close the biggest gaps

Too Granular Existing Pages

Little Existing Competition

No Rankings vs. Competitors

Even big players have weaknesses, it’s about spotting and using them to your advantage

INVENTIVENESS

Fasten results while maximizing resources by prioritizing your actions towards growth

Instead of developing audits that just validate each relevant SEO area of your site

As well as each different SEO action based on how critical towards growth they are

Add the new, updated URLs with right name convention

They are meant to be ranked so should be indexable and differentiated with specifically relevant content

Update links & 301-redirect to only crawl on the protocol to index & rank

Unblock the new URLs to be crawled & indexed

301s should go to the relevant new URLs & stop being linked

Start 301-redirecting 4xx errors to new URL destinations

How many highly important with low optimization status have been re-

prioritized?

Which resources & people have been correctly advancing and which have had

delays?

Which high recommendations took less resources & times to be effectively implemented & which took more?

Which high priority recommendations have the longer delays?

All this while doing the on-going process coordination, without waiting for non-achieved long-term results to react

You can also use Project Management systems like Jira to automatize at least a part of this framework

Check out this #KoozaiTV video about establishing it

bit.ly/actionableseo

It’s about monitoring the overall process to coordinate & influence it during the

execution

TIME TRAVEL

PRECOGNITION

Learn to manage client expectations of the process & forecast reasonable results

Calculate your expected SEO results taking into consideration targeted queries, current rankings,

seasonality & potential

seomonitor.com

As well as different visibility scenarios over time & probability based on each query group competition

Allowing you to make a case towards SEO investments without committing and giving non-realistic expectations

But ultimately speaking business owners language on expected growth, revenues & ROI

bit.ly/seoroicalculator

Updating & refining it as time passes by based on the already achieved results, user behavior & process

execution pace

It’s about understanding the type of results you can reasonably expect and

communicate it effectively to win clients

SHAPE-SHIFTING FLEXBILITY

SELF-HEALING ABILITIES

Follow an agile, iterative process to quickly minimize errors & capitalize opportunities

Set recurring, ideally real time monitoring of every SEO area & outcome: From the server & robots.txt

To programmed crawls every week to spot crawling & indexation issues

OnPage.org & Botify

Alerts of content changes of your site & competition

Versionista, OnWebChange & Netwatcher

Daily new & loss links to your site

CognitiveSEO

Your competitors links too

As well as mentions with certain requirements

Besides visibility, traffic& conversion per queries, pages & devices

And overall standing vs. the competition

That will serve to spot issues & opportunities quickly

To reassign priorities & resources on the next sprints

prepared to do
