From Search Engine Journal, there are 7 important parts of SEO people need to get right. These parts are important for getting your website found by your target market.
- Focus on your audience and industry. Your keywords should reflect your industry, product, and customers. What would they search for? What are the pains? Also do extensive research on the product you are selling, the benefits, and why people should buy it. Do some research also on your competitors and try and find your point of difference.
- Next is do keyword research. What terms have high volume? What terms and keywords are most relevant to your product or service that you’re offering? Think about words that your user would use when looking for your product.
- Next is focus on user intent when thinking about keywords. Why would they search this? Why do they need this product?
- Analytics and reporting is next. Looking at your results you can keep a record of your performance and use it as a benchmark. You want to succeed and grow.
- The next step is mobile seo. Everyone uses their phones. You want to make sure your site can be easily found and also phone friendly. There are a few sites that are not recommended for phone users.
- Crawling: the process by which codes (spiders) discover your site. This is important to learn why they do this and how it is important that you have good quality content and no black hat seo as it can ruin your ranking.
- Indexing is another important term to understand as you are canonicalizing your pages. How will you have the layout? You want your site to be easily scannable by your user when they are looking for information. If there is too much there, they may bounce out.
